Hello Everyone,
The details on this celebration are below. It could be a great place to find supporters of liberty, as well as to take part in a great celebration. I'm not able to attend unfortunately. If someone does, it would be great if you could arrive early and place Appleseed fliers on the chairs and tables. I've copied information from the facebook page about it. You must rsvp at http://billofrightsday.us/
