DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Us – Friday\, June 19\, 8:15am \n\n\n\nQuail Creek Veterans Municipal Park \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n ”Stand Up and Be Heard: A Community response to Rep. Ciscomani’s appearance at Quail Creek \n\n\n\n Congressman Juan Ciscomani will be appearing at the Quail Creek Republican Club meeting on Friday\, June 19 (at 9 a.m.)\, and community members will gather to make their voices heard. This peaceful demonstration is an opportunity to remind our representative that he works for all constituents in Congressional District 6\, not just those who share his political views. \n\n\n\nParticipants will meet at Quail Creek Veterans Municipal Park at approximately 8:15 a.m. before taking positions along East Quail Crossing Boulevard from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Demonstrators will remain outside Quail Creek and will stand in designated public areas along the roadway. Organizers ask everyone to avoid interfering with traffic or access to the Quail Creek guardhouse. \n\n\n\nBring signs that highlight the issues that matter most to you\, particularly those related to Congressman Ciscomani’s votes and positions. A limited number of extra signs will be available for those who need them. Whether your concern is protecting democracy\, defending Social Security and Medicare\, preserving civil and human rights\, safeguarding public education\, or demanding accountability from elected officials\, your presence sends a powerful message. \n\n\n\nRemember\, democracy is not a spectator sport. Peaceful public demonstrations have long been one of the most effective ways citizens can express their concerns and advocate for change. Join your neighbors\, stand together\, and help ensure that the voices of CD6 constituents are seen and heard. \n\n\n\nJOIN US  \n\n\n\nFriday | June 19 | 8:15am \n\n\n\nQuail Creek Veterans Municipal Park \n\n\n\n1905 S Old Nogales Hwy \n\n\n\nSahuarita\, AZ  \n\n\n\nPLEASE REMEMBER:  All of our protests are peaceful.
