  WHAT: A reading of the Declaration of Independence and selected amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The purpose is to remind people that July 4th was intended as a day for us to remember just how important and precious our rights are. It is a day to celebrate this document and all it stands for. There will also be patriotic singing at the beginning and close of the event. 
   
  WHEN: July 4th, 10am-noon
   
  WHERE: Thompson Federal Building, 400 S. Virginia St., Reno
   
  WHO: This event is being put on by Sierra Interfaith Action for Peace
   
  OTHER: We are reading the Declaration with selected amendments to the U.S Constitution as "a reminder of the social contract that was started by the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Constitution," states Shane Piccinini, chairperson of the Sierra Interfaith Action for Peace.
  "This event is about what is at the very core of being an American."
       We celebrate July 4th, the day the Declaration was officially "adopted", with parades, barbecues, fireworks, and parties. In the process of the fun and the chance to spend time with friends and family, we lose sight of the original purpose of the day: our country's commitment to ideals that were formed as the social contract defined in the Declaration. These ideals are what we are celebrating, and we must not lose sight of their significance as we watch current events unfold. We must always remember our commitment to them and our commitment to upholding them for all Americans.
