<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">ACLU Champaign County parade walkers would welcome those who want to join us under the longtime ACLU message: Because Freedom Can’t Protect Itself. And any ACLU issues of concern to you, such
as this week's Supreme Court, in which ACLU filed amicus briefs, alas on the losing side. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">The parade is Tuesday July 4.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">We are number 47 of 67—a shorter parade than usual, I think. The parade as always is scheduled to begin at 11:05AM and they are usually pretty good at avoiding delays. The parade route from
the West Parking lot E-14 across from the Assembly Hall goes down Florida, turns left onto Lincoln and ends at Illinois and Lincoln. Maybe an hour's walk once we start off?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">We will be handing out (NOT allowed to throw) wrapped candy so feel free to bring some, and bill of rights bookmarks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">Some signs will be available or bring your own. We will also have a rolling cooler with water bottles (Please return empties to the cart)<o:p></o:p></p>
