"Bridge to a Better Future" is the slogan for this year's Independence Day parade in the City of Fairfax. We are doing our part for a better future by featuring outstanding Democrats from the past and the future.

...will be featured in our parade entourage, as well as marchers from their campaigns, the  County Dems, and us, of course. The parade float this year will highlight the great Democrats of the past, while the Democrats out in front of the float represent our future. Come to the Committee meeting on Thursday for a seek peek at the float, and help us put on the finishing touches.

Please join us this Friday at 9:30 AM at the parade line-up location in the Massey Complex parking lot behind Wachovia Bank. Directions are available here. Please enter the line-up area via Main Street and Judicial Drive. Turn left on Page Avenue and follow the road to the large parking lot. See the parade line-up area and parade route maps.

From Among Our Members

Benjamin Pratt brought this post to my attention. The launch of a unique online experiment www.OurValues.org where University of Michigan researcher Dr. Wayne Baker will be asking people about their close-to-the-heart values -- and, of course, he will be asking about the meaning of America itself in this holiday week.
