A Different Kind of DNC “Protest” West of the Downtown Denver Action

So much for all the DNC-related action happening in downtown Denver. On my drive to work this morning I spotted this unmistakable display on Table Mountain between Arvada and Golden, displayed here in a photograph taken by a friend:

9News apparently was on the scene, as well:

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and Open Space Rangers struck a deal with the protestors allowing them to take a break before hiking back up the mountain and removing the sign.

The group behind the sign was not immediately known but roughly 50 anti-abortion protestors are in the area.

My friend who took the picture said she was told the sign was constructed from 2,500 bed sheets, and that students from Maranatha Christian Center did the hard work to make the message known. Whoever was responsible, it’s good to see them complying with law enforcement to take it down in a timely manner.

Their message was heard – or at least read – loud and clear, much like those who had their words scrubbed away by DNC officials at the Pepsi Center last Friday.
