CODEPINK Report on Anti-Hummer Protests

ST. PETERSBURG REPORT

St Pete for Peace was happy to have participated in CODEPINK's anti-hummer day of protest. 

Here are a few notes on our day
* The hummer dealership blocked our access to parking, but we had an alternate plan, so it worked out anyway.

* Our group of 17 was not large, but we had good energy.  CODEPINK provided some chants which came in handy!

* The local Fox TV News came out and ran a short, decent story on their 10pm news.

* The Tampa/St Pete community radio station ran a 10 minute report of our event during their Friday evening broadcast.
 
* Response from the cars driving by was about half positive.

* In anticipation of "problems," the dealership moved all their hummers to the back of the lot; there were also two police cars and a highway patrol standing guard.  We pretty much laughed it off.

Thanks to CODEPINK for putting out the call for this event and for providing excellent leadership in leading up to the day!  Bravo!
