Dear friends:

Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, September 15th, at 4:30 PM at the Sedona Verde Valley Red Rock National Monument Public meeting at Village of Oak Creek Community Association, 690 Bell Rock Blvd., Village of Oak Creek, Sedona AZ 86351. The meeting is open to the public and will be KSB’s presentation on their support of the national monument designation plan.

Let’s all ask: Do we want the President to designate our own community a “National Monument” via Executive Order without our input? Fully explain the consequences.

LET’S SHOW THE KSB WORKING GROUP THAT PEOPLE DESERVE MORE INFORMATION AND A MORE IN DEPTH DISCUSSION ABOUT THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS; LOCAL RESIDENTS WANT A VOICE IN THIS DECISION.

THANKS FOR COMING OUT TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT, TOO.

Join us Thursday, September 17th, at either Noon – or- 7:00 p.m. (two options) for the “VOTE NO ON THE NATIONAL MONUMENT TOWN HALL” meeting at Christ Center Church, 580 Brewer Road, Sedona, Arizona 86336. The meeting is open to the public and will include comments by Arizona Representative Bob Thorpe of AZ -LD6.

It is essential that you hear all sides of the debate.

    I would think it is “normal” practice to offer a venue that tells both sides of the story when an effort wants and NEEDS both sides of the story. Do they “care” that citizens make an informed decision? Do we have any choice at all? I think it is odd that only one person from the SVVRRNM committee shows-up at any of the “opposition” meetings; they don’t need US; see the Antiquities Act.

    ~ They don’t show up – they don’t respond to questions unless they fit a narrow parameter that is controlled by them = no comments have been submitted, so there is no opposition!

    Yes, think Monty Python, “Would you like to have an Argument” skit!!! But how much will it cost US to “buy” an argument to get Sedona back if we don’t like the unintended consequences?
    Answer: A heck of a lot of aggravation and money IF we can even succeed.

    Show up at the meeting on the 15 and the Town Hall meetings on the 17th at 12 PM and 7 PM
    and make your voice heard!

LET’S SHOW THE KSB WORKING GROUP THAT PEOPLE DESERVE MORE INFORMATION AND A MORE IN DEPTH DISCUSSION; WE WANT A VOICE IN THIS DECISION.
