>  
> In the book of Joshua-Chapter 6 found in the Holy Bible, the biblical 
> character Joshua and his supporters walked around the city of Jericho 
> for seven days and on the seventh day with the help of their God, the 
> city walls came crumbling down and his people were freed from the 
> rulers of Jericho.
>  
> It is in the above spirit, that the Universal African Peoples 
> Organization (UAPO) cordially invites you to participate in a 
> spiritual re-enactment of the above story. We will march around the 
> St. Louis City Hall Complex (12th @ Tucker) for seven consecutive days 
> starting Friday,March 27,2009 and ending April 2,2009. We will begin 
> each morning at 8:00
>  
> The purpose of our Jericho re-enactment in today's time is to ask God 
> to help us Free St. Louis by bringing down the walls of voter apathy. 
> Evidence of this apathy was clearly demonstrated in the recent March 
> 3,2009 St. Louis Primary Election when only 14% of the over 220,000 
> registered voters cast a ballot.
>  
> We will also be asking God to help us bring down the walls of racial 
> bigotry, ineptitude, and corruptness of Mayor Francis G. Slay 
> administration. We will be asking God to put into the hearts of the 
> registered voters to cast a vote to end Slay's political rule in the 
> upcoming Tuesday April 7,2009 General Election.
>  
> Green Party candidate, brother Reverend Elston K. McCowan and 
> Independent candidate sister Maida Coleman have been invited each day 
> to share their vision of a better St. Louis. As of this date Sunday 
> March 29,2009, we have completed three days. Reverend McCowan has 
> marched with us and we await Ms. Maida Coleman.
>  
> We also recognize "Faith Without Works Is Dead" and pray that people 
> will involve themselves in the movement to Free St. Louis.
>  
> Remember the dates and time (8:00am) that we have committed to march 
> around St. Louis City Hall Complex. On the last day, Thursday April 
> 2.2009 we march around the compex seven times as done in the Book of 
> Joshua.
>       Friday March 27                Tuesday March 31
