DRINKING LIBERALLY TWENTYTEN - TAMPA!
Event Location: Rock N Sports Bar - 600 E. 8th Avenue Ste, Ybor City
Event Description:
Drinking Liberally TwentyTen - Tampa! Fellow Liberals,
We're getting together again! On February 17th at 7:30pm at Rock ‘n' Sports Bar and Grill (right across the street from the Ybor Muvico and right above the new Joffree's coffee). Free parking on the city lot on the NE corner of 7th and Nuccio. 10% off food and drink specials for DL members!!Very cool story out of Africa regarding Nelson Mandela I thought I would share: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/02/11/2817298.htm?section=justin Today, Mandela celebrates 20 years of his release and will reenact that historic walk from the Victor Verster Prison, just outside of Capetown. I'm going to be looking for where this will be broadcasted. I'm sure all of you are aware, or definitely should be, about the Supreme Court decision of Citizens United v FEC. Elements of the Tillman Act of 1907 and Federal Corrupt Practices Act of 1910 limiting corporate and union contributions to campaigns were overturned in what can only be described as one of the most heinous decision on fair elections. After a decision like this we, as educated consumers, must be very aware of where our money is going when we spend it. I know most people will swing by Wal~Mart once in a while to pick up $5 of household goods. But where do you buy your clothes (where are they made? Taiwan? The Philippines?) Can you buy items on your shopping list from locally owned business rather than that big chain store? Does the chain store you buy from deny their workers breaks? Deny benefits to employees in same-sex relationships? Support child labor practices? I purchased the “The Blue Pages” a few years ago. It's a directory of companies rated by their politics and practices. It lists their Party and PAC contributions, as well as their business practices on issues like same-sex benefits or consumer safety. (ISBN: 9781936227273) Also available is the TIBA (Tampa Independent Business Alliance) Directory. Support these local businesses, and even ask them if they've made any contributions to that homophobic union-hating, Intelligent design-preaching conservative running for the district in which you live. ( http://tibatampa.org/ ) What are your thoughts on combating this Supreme Court decision? Or should it even be a concern? Do you think companies will even engage in politicking and why/why not? See you at R&S, on the 17th!! Call me if you have any questions? Tim -- 813-532-9846
