World’s Largest Protest Sign Hits Denver This Week


Hear Their Cry



I don’t think this story made the planners (the Democratic National Committee - DNC) of the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Tuesday very happy when the sign in the photo and YouTube video above was unfurled by 50 Pro-Life Protesters. The sign was placed on the side of Lookout Mountain, which overlooks the city of Denver. It was not up very long. The Pro-Life Protesters were threatened with imprisonment if they did not remove the sign shortly after it was put up. I have included the description of protest and the story of the potentially Guinness Book of World Records for the largest protest sign.

The message of the protest sign obviously didn’t get through the abortion-minded Democratic Party leadership. So called abortion rights is a core principle of the party’s platform. On Monday night they also allowed Nancy Keenan of NARAL’s [the National Abortion Rights Action League], the abortion industry’s association, to speak at the Democratic National Convention. That representative shockingly, reprehensibly and audacity called a woman’s right to kill her baby “moral.”


American Right To Life Unfurled World's Largest Protest Sign: DNC Sheets Of Shame

DENVER, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- An official Guinness Book of World Records attempt to display the largest ever protest sign has succeeded. The 530-foot tall and 666-foot wide message is being shouted from the mountaintops overlooking the Democratic National Convention with the leading 2008 protest
message.


Depending on their location, thousands of DNC delegates and journalists can look out their hotel windows to the west to see the sign. Sponsored by American RTL Action, the message initially appeared with three enormous 160-foot tall, bright yellow letters, D-N-C, stacked on top of each other. After those letters suddenly appeared on a mountain just west of Denver, the actual full message of the sign began to unfurl. Three lines of white text, built on the vertical yellow letters read, D-N-C: '

uNborn

..Children

"The tiniest boys and girls should be loved and protected," said American RTL Action president Steve Curtis, "but as nominating Barack Obama emphasizes, the DNC even supports killing kids in the womb old enough to know their mother's voice, sleep and dream, suck their thumbs, and play with their toes."

Columbine dad Brian Rohrbough, whose son Daniel was murdered at that high school massacre, is the group's vice president. "When we tell kids that unborn children can be killed if their parents don't
want them," said Rohrbough, "we rob them of the knowledge of the God-given right to life and we destroy their moral foundation. Abortion is wrong because it's a baby; it's always wrong to intentionally kill an innocent baby."

Guinness assigned American Right To Life an official world record attempt number: 228132. The protest sign weighs more than 2,700 pounds and was sewed together with more than four miles of seams connecting 2,400 sheets and backpacked onto location and unfurled by 44 letter carriers with spotters a mile away to ensure proper letter placement. ARTL commits to removing the DNC Sheets Of Shame and leaving the area cleaner than it had been. ARTL is also a lead sponsor of the DNC Power in the Park protest event by national black leaders at Denver's Martin Luther King Jr. Park . . .
