Homeland Security has requested ALL VEHICLES IN PARADE MUST ENTER AT SCHUYKILL AVE ( 30TH  St. TRAIN STATION) & JFK BLVD) FOR SECURITY SWEEP AT 20TH AND JFK.  All driver and vehicle information must be updated on your website application by Noon March 1.  Quite simple, if they do not have the information they require, the vehicle will not be in the parade.   Take a piece of paper and write your group number on it as large as you can, so the police and marshals can see you group number and move you along quickly.

VOTE FOR "XYZ" signs are NOT permitted.  There are NO political or Country cause or movements signs allowed no matter who the organization or groups are.
