Demand Truth From the Media Rally III
This event will take place Thursday, June 9th at 4:30 p.m. at the Media General/Channel 8/Tampa Tribune complex on Parker in downtown Tampa (between Channelside and UT; between Kennedy and the Crosstown)
Tampa area residents are encouraged to be there in support of these patriotic Americans!
Yesterday I learned about citizen action at http://www.downingstreetmemo.com. What a suprise that the only action listed is in Tampa, and thats just next door. And made up my mind to go show my support.
More, around the corner with pics.
I met
Susan S and
thefos from DFA. They are running the show with getting the people there. I quickly introduced myself as a Kossack. And got to know a few of my fellow protestors. The day was overcast with a small shower ending our fun that didn't show up until the very end. There had already been two events, on thursdays, and everyone agreed to a fourth next thursday at Bay to Bay and Bayshore. From what I heard this was the biggest turnout yet, and at the height of participation we had enough people to fill up each side of the road. Here's to hoping it will be a snowball effect. The only media that showed up was a
WMNF reporter whose report I heard on the way home. This despite the fact of protesting outside of NBC affiliate 8. A lot of support from the traffic, with many honks, peace signs, and raised fists. I also got a few one-fingered salutes.
