Rally Planned for June 14

By Carolyn Marlatt

and Patricia Jones

America has always been the land of opportunity, and a group of concerned citizens is rallying in Alliance on Saturday to ensure that those ideals will continue.

The Rally for America will be Saturday, June 14, 10:30 a.m. to noon at 3rd and Box Butte in Alliance. Those attending will share concerns about programs they see that are in danger of being cut by the federal government. A cross section of local people will be rallying and carrying signs to support programs that are used by all Americans: Medicaid and Medicare, National Parks, affordable health care.

Similar rallies will be held in Panhandle communities, and throughout Nebraska and the country. For more information, contact Carolyn Marlatt, 308-760-3865.

The local citizens who will be participating will be members of all political parties, ages, and affiliations. Anyone is invited to join in the rally and share concerns.
