Translated From La Opinion Newspaper, Los
Angeles, Wednesday, July 12, 2006:
Protests
When Rove was making reference that he comes from an immigrant family (Norway),
an asian woman stood up at one of the tables where conference attendants were
seated with a poster from an anti-war organization “World Can’t Wait”
to shout at the speaker that the Bush Regime must disappear.
Event
security guards took the woman and bit by bit made their way to an exit door
all the while she kept shouting slogans against the militarization of the
border and the Iraq
war.
The woman stated her name was Lucy Lee and she considers that President Bush is
the one who illegally crosses borders with his wars.
Minutes later, while Rove pretended to ignore the shouts of protest,
four women activists of the antiwar organization Code Pink stood up at another
table and unfurled a banner that read: “Disarm, Mothers say No to
War.”
One of them, Tiffany Burn, commented that Karl Rove is responsible for the lies
that have been told to people in the United
States and around the world to continue the war in Iraq.
“I think it is repugnant to be here talking about immigration reform when
they are the ones responsible not only for recruiting latinos to send them off
to war and to try to win their votes and at the same time they worry about the
people that are coming into the United States.” the protestor commented.
