Jackson Hole, Wyo.-As many as 250 people gathered Saturday afternoon at the corner of Hwy. 22 and the Village Road to protest the war in Iraq and to decry Vice President Dick Cheney’s role in the four-and-a-half-year conflict.
Organized by Jackson Hole residents Jim Stanford, Walt Farmer and Karen Hogan, the event featured speeches by State Rep. Pete Jorgensen (D-Jackson), author Alexandra Fuller, attorney Kent Spence, and veteran war medic Nick Rowley, along with protest music by Phil Round, Derrik Hufsmith, Peter “Chanman” Chandler, Dick Barker and Carolyn Groves. Afterwards, demonstrators marched 1.4 miles down the Village Road pathway to the gates of the Teton Pines Country Club, where the Vice President owns a house and is currently vacationing.
“In this day and age it’s very easy to be jaded about politics,” said Stanford in his opening speech. “We don-t feel we can really trust the people that we send to Washington, D.C., to do the people’s business.”
