Aug 31st, 1pm Down Nicolette Mall to Loring Park

Forget the partisan posturing - let's get together, as Americans of all walks, all dispositions, all shapes, sizes and configurations, and walk, ride, crawl, limp, skip or float down Nicollet Mall.

The central purpose of the Liberty Parade is to create a large scale parade through the heart of Minneapolis that is a CELEBRATION of shared values (liberty, freedom, justice, equality, free speech) rather than a partisan protest.

1. Who ARE these People?

From the Liberty Parade blog:

After two press releases to over 40 media outlets, not one peep of interest. How is this possible? Could we not be news worthy? We figured that the mere feat of getting permits for all of Nicollet Mall and Loring Park would be news worthy enough, let alone that we were putting together a community based celebration! But the press wasn’t impressed. I REALLY knew something was wrong when a prominent, liberal radio station cancelled our upcoming interview with less than a days notice. Why didn’t they want us? It boiled down to the fact we weren’t towing the liberal party line. Damned from all sides? How could this happen? Then we realized our mistake.

"Liberal party line"?

WTF?

The only people I know who talk that way about liberals are right-wingers.

Who organized and funded this event and why?
