There are reports of small groups of demonstrators at various locations along the parade route.

About a dozen people with impeach and anti-wars signs are now at Orange & Colorado and are visible on local live TV broadcast. Ron Paul supporters are also displaying a large banner there. One anti-war sign holder has been escorted out of the area, reportedly for a “non-compliant” sign attached to a wood stick.

A caller from the other end of the parade reports that a handful of protesters were able to stage a pre-parade march when streets were cleared ahead of the parade. Caller says they were able to carry a banner reading “GIVE ImPEACH A CHANCE” the full length of Colorado Blvd.
