Given the media frenzy started around the homeless protest -- numerous mentions on tv news and front page above the fold in Sat St. Pete Times, with follow up Monday -- it looks as though the media will be focusing on what's going on outside of the Mahaffee as well as the CNN/Youtube debate taking place within.
So now's a great time to help get attention paid to the need for grassroots organizing to take this "pay for play", tv-extravanza'd system back from the neocons.
The Rise Up Unity Rally is designed to do just that. Please attend. It's free, will be a great opportunity to network with active citizens, and the more bodies we have the more likely CNN will pay attention as well!
Hope to see you there.
