Rally for Congresswoman Giffords' Support of Clean Energ
Date:
Friday, July 17
Description:
Our Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, recently voted for President Obama's Clean Energy and Security Act, a bill that will lead to the creation of new jobs, a stronger economy, and a reduced dependence on foreign energy.
And for her efforts, Rep. Giffords has become the latest target of the Tucson Tea Party, an extremist organization whose mission is to promote the far-right wing s agenda and to support candidates who have fallen tragically out of touch with the values of mainstream Arizonans. These extremists have planned a protest outside of the Congresswoman s office, to take place this Friday from 4:00 6:00 PM.
Accordingly, we are holding a rally this Friday in support of Congresswoman Giffords and her support of clean energy and a stronger economy!
We will also hold a sign-making party at PCDP HQ on Thursday from 5:00 - 8:00 PM.

Time:
4-6pm
Place:
NE corner of Pima & Swan
