The 23rd annual Alan Ross Freedom Day Parade will take place on Sunday, September 19th, in the Oaklawn neighborhood of Dallas. There will be 12,000 - 15,000 spectators and we hope to have a very large presence of Kerry supporters at the event. We will be concentrating our efforts in three key areas on that day:
• Lee Park - We will be staffing a table in Lee Park with people who can register voters and sign people up for our email list. We will also be selling Kerry Gear.
• Cedar Springs Road - We will have people walking along the parade route passing out Kerry stickers as well as forms to register voters and/or add them to our email list.
• Parade - We are hoping to have at least 100 Kerry supporters marching in the parade holding Kerry/Edwards signs and cheering on the elected officials and candidates marching in the parade with us.
WHERE TO MEET: 3227 McKinney Ave. - The Residences on McKinney (intersection of McKinney Ave. & Hall in Uptown).
WHEN TO MEET: Sunday September 19th, 12:30 PM.

Sun, SEPT. 19, 2 - 5 P.M: PRECINCT WALK IN 2205 Join volunteers from Harriet Miller's campaign (Democrat for State Legislature, District 102) as we walk this precinct. Precinct 2205 is a heavily Democratic area that traditionally has had very low voter turnout. There is big potential here - we just need to get people registered. We will meet at the Wendy's (attached to an Exxon station) located at the northeast corner of LBJ and Forest Ln (9501 Forest) at 2 pm, Sunday, Sept. 19. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a clip-board, if you have one. Call Meg at 972-588-3366 with questions. Please let us know if you'll be able to join us and how many volunteers you think you can bring along. Thanks, Meg Kimberland (972-588-3366), Chris Coleman (214-492-3934), or Nancy Caveness (214-384-9811)
