sarasota - 21 days left

we've been so busy, meeting w/codepink, getting the lay of the land, connecting w/local activists, tabling, attending events, etc. florida is sizzling: lots of strong pro-kerry support, lots of angry old white bush support - we traveled to venice this morning to check out the chamber of commer. venice is a southern part of sarasota country, katherine harris territory. on the way we stopped at an espresso shop & were greeted by several supportive folks. a 40-ish white male talked about the amount of pure hatred so many folks feel for bush; an older white woman expressed her determination & hope in ridding our country of bush & ALL his coharts.
gotta run - more later - just know florida is severely divided - AND the haves & the have mores are planning on launching HUGE anit-kerry campaigns, anti-demo campaigns - especially as bush's lies are wearing thin to the most uninformed among us - we NEED your help - be here if you can! peace, sam
