We pretty much threw the whole thing together in the two hours before the rally started. Two of us were dressed in the orange suits, one carrying a large American flag with a ghetto Mexican flag tacked to the bottom of it, and the other orange suited actor was a drummer. We had our camera women dressed in a white bodysuit with a Mexican flag tacked to the back of it, and we had a lady dressed as a Mexican who was carrying a big sign that said "What would Mary do?" (in relation to America dealing with the immigrants) with pictures of the Virgin Mary on it. Also we had a gentleman with our crew who carried the sign that said "Illegal Immigration Began in 1492", and last but not least, we had an actor dressed up in the military uniform with the green border patrol hat, whisky bottle, crutches, and George Bush mask. Our drunken Bush posed with the crowd.

At one point we stopped the whole crowd of 1000+ people by making a scene and making alot of noise (we had two drums and a VERY loud whistle) and after about 10 minutes of us having the crowd at a standstill, we were told that we had to move because we were blocking traffic on two roads with out antics.

Our skit involved 4 people in business suits who represented corporate America and who were to pose and carry a large flag as if they were in the famous Iwo Jima "Flags of our Fathers" pose from World War II. Our flag was an American flag with the blue stars field covered and turned into a giant dollar sign. In addition, the 2 soldiers were dressed in full desert combat gear, and were carrying Oil Barrels for our George Bush character, a corporate whore, who was dressed in an American flag toga, red bikini, and mask.

Our actors in this exhibition were dressed like this:

- 4 people in black business suits with briefcases who carried the large "faux Iwo Jima" flag

- 2 actors in desert camouflage uniforms who were carrying oil barrels

- 1 actor dressed in a bikini with George Bush mask

- 1 drummerboy to draw attention to us

We got downtown just as the large crowd was leaving Civic Plaza, and we regrouped on the now empty Civic Plaza then snuck up on the crowd by going around the corner to get to the legislative offices, where the crowd was gathered.

Once we were in place, we entered. We interrupted the whole protest of over a thousand people with our entrance

We came in at a brisk trot, dancing, with the drummer beating out a martial cadence. In front were the 4 business people in suits carrying the 12 foot tall flagpole, who were followed by the two actors dressed as US Soldiers in desert combat gear carrying Oil Barrels, and the woman actor dressed in a bikini with an American flag toga, and the George Bush mask.

We made quite a scene with this protest and we appeared in the Albuquerque Journal, Alibi online, and we were interviewed by the UNM Daily Lobo. I believe people saw us on television as well.

We were still unexperienced and new at working together for this one. The idea for this protest was I believe Sebastian Pais'.

We built a white chariot out of cardboard and mounted it onto a shopping cart. The chariot had on it a Roman quote that goes "Si vis pacem para bellum" which means "If you seek peace, then prepare for war". In the center of the quotation was a white dove.

This white chariot was drawn by ropes connected to two actors who were dressed in the orange jumpsuits of Guantanamo Detainees.

The chariot was pushed by two Mexican actors who were dressed as Mexicans

We had one actor in a white toga and laurels who was acting as "The Emperor" who rode in the chariot when the other actor dressed as "George Bush with an Uncle Sam Hat" wasn't on the ground shouting obscenities at the Guantanamo Detainees and beating them with his hammer.

We began to prepare for this performance in late November or early December of 2006 when we started to fashion the chariot (which we originally intended to be Santa's sleigh). The skit was quite a blast and we ended up joining the protest somewhere on the roads inbetween Civic Plaza and Robinson Park, where we fell in to much applause. We were very disorganized when we got downtown and  unloaded and we were changing into the costumes as the protest marched closer to us.

We were apparently in the local news for our part in this protest.
