Sept 12 - Plant City - Sally Harris. Sally is a great friend of CIC. As former School Board Chair. Sally worked hand-in-hand with me to Protect Our Children from the indoctrination that’s prevalent in our schools. She will have an exciting announcement at our meeting.
We have the opportunity this Thursday, September 12, 2019 to meet with Sally Harris, former School Board Chair and current Candidate for one of the at-large county-wide seats on the School Board.
Ours will be the first public meeting where Sally will be announcing her candidacy.
She was instrumental in our battle to keep boys out of the girls' restrooms and showers. She has been helpful in reining in teachers who want to push the homosexual agenda in our schools. You'll want to hear about the threat posed by the pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, sex-ed curriculum that's trying to be pushed into our classrooms. With the current assault on our children's values regarding sexuality, we need people on the School Board who will advocate for them! You can hear Sally speak about her values on the 1 minute "Imagine" video at this link. The lunch will be held at Plant City Church of God, 2103 Mud Lake Road, Plant City. Lunch starts at noon and Sally will speak at 12:30. I'll be bringing some delicious Cuban food from La Cubanita Restaurant in Brandon. As always, donations are requested but not required.
Please RSVP for the lunch so that we'll be sure to have enough food.
Sept 17, 2019 - Tuesday - Ruskin - School Board Member Stacy Hahn
Oct 3, 2019 Thursday - Brandon - Melissa Snively. Melissa Snively has been an ally of CIC and for Hillsborough families since being elected in 2014. We’ve worked together successfully on a number of important project and continue to stand up for traditional family values. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with her. You’ll want to hear how the 1/2 cent sales tax is being used and other important issues.
Oct 17, 2019 Tuesday - Ruskin - Stacy White. Commissioner Stacy White is without question the most conservative member of the Hillsborough County Commission. He has challenged the boondoggle Transportation Tax and has stood on the side of residents of the unincorrporated county. He is trying to keep us from being financially soaked and forced to benefit downtown interests with the illegitimate taxes we’ll be forced to pay if this lawsuit loses.
