Peaceful Demonstration at the Post Office

Representatives from the LaRouche Movement set up a political demonstration in front of the La Grange Post Office on Tuesday, Dec. 10. The movement, started by the late Lyndon LaRouche in the 1960s, espouses an eclectic array of beliefs – ranging from banking reform to the reintroduction of classical Verdi tuning for musical instruments. Lyndon LaRouche was a perennial candidate for President during his lifetime, often running as a Democrat. Members of the movement, John Jambor and Joe Jennings of Houston, said they stopped in La Grange on their way to Austin to speak with the public about ending hostilities between the United States and China and Russia. They displayed signs criticizing President Joe Biden and NATO, praising President-Elect Donald Trump, and calling for an end to the war in Ukraine. “The reception has been good,” Jambor said. “We’re meeting some very good people here.”
