Sweet Pea rejects anti-war group's parade float

By WALT WILLIAMS, Chronicle Staff Writer

A local anti-war group won't be allowed to display its float during the Sweet Pea Parade Saturday, so it is planning to set it up outside the Gallatin County Courthouse instead.

Sweet Pea organizers recently denied a request by the Bozeman Peace Seekers to enter a float bearing the Statue of Liberty with her hand held high in a peace sign.

The same statue was permitted during the Fourth of July parade in Butte, where it won first place among the entries, according to Margarita McLarty of Peace Seekers. Its message: "Peace is patriotic."

2. Can you believe it?

I was really proud of how the Peace Seekers handled this. Lady Liberty with the peace sign stood on the courthouse steps and the parade went by her. Can you believe that peace can be so controversial?
