Sign our Letter to the Tournament of Roses on Doris' Forced Removal from the Rose Parade!

Sign our Protest Letter to the Tournament of Roses on the Treatment of Doris

Despite the incredible success of the Rose Parade, for those that did not know, Doris de Hilster was forcibly removed in the beginning of the Rose Parade. It was a terrible event that cannot go answered.

To this effect, we have written a letter we will be sending to the Tournament of Roses asking that they officially apologize to Doris and repair this aggression in some way. We have set up a webpage with the letter which you can electronically sign and leave your comments that will be sent together with the letter.

We have the name of the person who removed Doris and a witness to the incident which is described in detail in the letter. Doris had written permission by the Tournament of Roses to be in the parade and yet they still removed her.

Here is the link to the letter where you can sign on the internet right away:

Thanks to All!

Thanks to all who made the 2010 Rose Parade with Jack-in-the-Box such a great success! It was incredible to see the Brazilian cultural so well-represented by SambaLa in the parade. Every member contributed invaluable time, effort, talent and their own money to make this the super success that it was!

Here is a video of some of the happenings including the parade itself (they are the same video, just different formats):
