Styrofoam Statue of Liberty Protest Rally Planned in St. Louis
July 21, 2008 · Print This Article
UPDATE - The $6 million styrofoam statue of liberty commissioned by YTB for their convention this August is going to meet some resistance from environmentalists in the St. Louis, Missouri area. YTB claims that the statue is a ‘tribute to the troops’, but the mind-boggling cost paid for this polluting nightmare could have been put to far better use, perhaps going directly to the troops and their families.
The protest rally will be held at the YTB convention, August 6th-10th, at the Edward Jones Dome. Contact the person who posted the Craigslist notice for more info.
If you’re in the St. Louis area and plan to attend, please take photos and contact us!

This ROCKS! I only wish I was in St. Louis!
The one thing they forgot to note, is that the President of YTB, is also the owner of the company that made this piece of trash. Lining ones pockets while killing the environment. So sad.
Money laundering, tax evasion and a shell company. Ya gotta love it!
Has anyone looked into that??
I mean they need to have more people rallying against that! What kind of idea is that? And are people dumb enough to fall for ‘tribute to the t roops?’ As a military spouse I’m a little insulted by that. A huge piece of styrofoam for a publicity stunt I’m sure.
And the comment about money laundering, someone really needs to take a closer look at that..not cool at all. Can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST?? And playing it off like hey are doing TROOPS A FAVOR?? right!
