BUFFALO, N.Y.
Death penalty foes disrupt Republican celebration
Four women members of the Buffalo, N.Y., branch of
Workers World Party disrupted the Republican celebration of
the primary victories for presidential candidate Goerge W.
Bush.
With all the media present, the women walked right in
front of the stage and held up posters reading, "Governor
Death, stop the executions," "End the racist death penalty,"
and "Bush = 122 executions, a national record."
The action so caught everyone present by surprise
that the activists were able to speak for several minutes to
the television, newspaper and radio reporters before being
escorted out by undercover sheriff's deputies.
One of the four, Bev Heistand, declared, "All four
presidential candidates--Democrats and Republicans--support
the racist death penalty. We'll hound them wherever they
appear."
