The IRISH FREEDOM COMMITTEE
Welcomes Gerry Adams to Chicago! The Irish Freedom Committee welcomed British Stormont Minister Gerry Adams to the Chicago Saint Patrick's Day Parade this weekend with a large banner proclaiming “TAKE IT DOWN FROM THE MAST GERRY ADAMS!!” The highly visible banner attracted a great deal of interest from parade marchers and the Chicago media alike, standing out boldly in direct line of sight with the parade media viewing stand. Numerous marchers stopped to photograph it, and several walked back after the parade to comment on the message. Crowd response was particularly enthusiastic from contingents of Chicago and New York City police officers, who gave thumbs up and shouted “Tiochfaidh ar Lá!” Members of the Irish Freedom Committee circulated in the crowds during the parade distributing fliers and passing out bumper stickers reading “England Get Out of Ireland” – some of which were later seen adorning lampposts along the parade route. The message was loud and clear from Chicago -- – despite Gerry Adams’ attempts to legitimize British rule and divert the cause of a United Ireland over the past 25 years, “the struggle goes on!”. A repartitioned Ireland, a revived British Stormont, a re-affirmed loyalist veto, strengthened British rule, and a “new” provo police force are Gerry’s legacy to Ireland. “Take it down from the mast Irish Traitor!!!”
