Many participants Joined AWARE on July 4th in the *Freedom Celebration* Parade!
This year the parade theme was: "Broadcasting our Freedoms"!
The parade was a good opportunity to let the public know
that township residents in Urbana/Champaign will be able
to vote November 7 to *Bring the Troops home Now*!
And to *Impeach Bush/Cheney*!
Our theme was defending the Constitution against the White House!
Friends and strangers alike joined AWARE to march this year. Folks on bikes, on foot, on crutches and even in a wheel chair join the parade and the chants. Some even joining the AWARE group from the crowd that had come to watch.
The chant of "What do we want" was responded to with "Troops HOME NOW!" And The question: "What does democracy look like?" was responded to with "This is what Democracy looks like!"
It was a great opportunity to express our *Freedom of Speech* and call for Bush/Cheney to be Impeached and that the US needs to get out of Iraq!
The AWARE goal was to begin to inform the public that on November 7 voters can vote YES in township Referendums: Out of Iraq and to IMPEACH the war mongers!
Today, AWARE was able to get that message out in the Freedom Celebration July 4th Parade!
Mission Accomplished!
