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:
Destroys
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'sMartin Luther King Jr. Park and of the
Clinton Watch project at Denver area strip joints.
