A Tampa Protest

FCAN sponsors a sign waving to welcome Dick Cheney to Tampa! VP Dick Cheney comes to Tampa TOMORROW MORNING, Friday July 21, to raise $$$ for Mike Bilirakis' son Gus in his campaign to succeed his dad in Congress.

TIME: 9-10 a.m.
DATE: Friday July 21
WHERE: In front of the Wyndham Westshore Hotel, 4860 W. Kennedy Blvd. The Hotel is at the southwest corner of W. Kennedy and Westshore Blvd., in between the Urban Center I & Urban Center II office buildings, across the street from the Bank of America and Westshore Mall.
WHY: To get national social issues into media coverage of the visit and connect them to Bilirakis & Cheney in the public eye.

Parking: There is parking in the Urban Center parking garage, across Westshore in a strip center that includes a Panera Bread and Starbucks, and a bit further, on the northwest side of Kennedy & Westshore in the Mall parking area. There is a shady sidewalk in front of the hotel/office building complex along W. Kennedy where people can comfortably wave signs in a safe & legal manner. There is always significant traffic through this intersection.

FCAN will provide yellow & black signs that read "Hands Off My Social Security" and "Fix Bush's Part D Disaster", courtesy of Americans United for Change.
