Gunshot precedes anti–North American Union marches

Las Vegas march against Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America

Protest rallies against the controversial Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America were held successfully in nine U.S. cities, marred only by a drive-by shot fired without causing injury into the home of the organizer of the Atlanta march.

Organizer Jim Stachowiak of Freedom Fighter Radio explained that a 9 mm gunshot round was fired into his suburban home Saturday at about 5:40 a.m. on the day of the marches.

Stachowiak told WND no one in the home was injured by the gunshot and Atlanta police were called.

The police removed the round for analysis and filed a report on the incident. No suspects were identified.

Stachowiak told WND he had no proof who may have fired the gunshot, although he felt confident it was done in anger to discourage his efforts to organize the protest.

Despite the incident, Stachowiak attended the Atlanta March for America, which began on the state capitol steps and proceeded to the CNN world headquarters as planned.

On April 10, 2006, and again on May Day 2006, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants and their supporters took to the streets of over 100 U.S. cities, often marching under the Mexican flag.

The "Stop SPP" marches Saturday were small by comparison, numbering in the hundreds.

Still, Jonnie Crivello, organizer of the March for America!, told WND she believed the rallies were successful, with protest participants meeting or exceeding expectations in all nine cities.

Crivello told WND the March for America! website is being updated to post photos from the Saturday marches.

Video of the march in Westwood, Calif., has been posted to YouTube.com as well as of the Las Vegas event.

Over an hour of separate videos from various cities participating in the march are listed on YouTube.com.
