Video: GWAR Visit Robert E. Lee Statue to Solicit Signatures for Their Oderus Urungus Petition

On Friday, June 12, GWAR drummer Jizmak Da Gusha visited the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond, VA, to solicit signatures for the recently-launched petition asking that the Lee monument be replaced with one honoring Oderus Urungus. Virginia governor Ralph Northam has said he plans to order the statue be taken down, although he has yet to comment on the petition, which has more than 37,000 signatures as of this writing.

You can watch the video of Jizmak’s visit to the statue below. If you listen carefully, you can hear someone playing Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” in the background. Sign the petition here.
