Join the Arizona Alliance for Peaceful Justice on Thursday, July 4th from
6:30-8:45 pm at Tempe Beach Park, northwest corner of Rio Salado and Mill
Ave, and help us "Reclaim Patriotism".  AAPJ has planned a fantastically
talented and fun skit that reminds us of all the great American patriots in
history who were also great dissenters and freedom-lovers.  In these times,
the fact that our forefathers and others who paved the way for us were
brave, outspoken dissenters is often overlooked.  We want to celebrate our
country on July 4th by remembering these dissenters and sharing the idea
that dissent is indeed a patriotic act.

Special thanks to the following people who have committed to participate in
the skits, which will show at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 pm in the free speech zone
at Tempe Beach park (see the next email for a map and directions about
parking and shuttle rides to the event):
Jeanne, Mitch, Stan, Kevin, Luis, Rochelle, Karla, Emily, Rob, and Sue

We still need 4-5 more volunteers to help make this event a success -- if
you can help, try to attend tomorrow's rehearsal.  The actors and skit
participants will be meeting on Wednesday night for a dress rehearsal at
8:30 at Jeanne's home.  Email Jeanne at jefjiaf@aol.com for directions.
Actors, skit participants, and audience supporters will meet on Thursday
evening at 6:15, 7:15, and 8:15 to prepare for the presentation of the
skits.

There will be a follow up email to this one with a map and directions to the
event.  We'd love to have lots and lots of AAPJ members and supporters at
the event cheering our skit actors on!  Please remember to bring water to
the event and be prepared for sun and heat.  We look forward to seeing
everyone there, helping AAPJ "Reclaim Patriotism"!!!
