Kucinich, Edwards and Sicko
June 29, 2007 at 3:18 pm by Wayne GarciaIt’s a big night in Tampa Bay for Democratic politics and those addicted to it.
First, $15 will get you a chance to hear from John Edwards, whose presidential campaign is running in third place in Florida and nationally. Edwards is speaking at the Saunders Pavilion at the Lowry Park Zoo on Sligh Avenue in Tampa. The “Small Change for Big Change” grassroots event has a 7 p.m. start time.
For those with even less small change than that, you can meet presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich on the west side of BayWalk in downtown St. Pete from 8:4-9:30 p.m., which coincides with the opening night in Tampa Bay for Michael Moore’s Sicko.
Local Progressive Democrats for America activists will also be on hand, touting John Conyers’ HB 676 national health insurance legislation.
“It’s a tragedy that we have poorer health care in this country than Cuba,” Pinellas PDA chairman Mike Fox said in a news release. “It’s sad to see that a movie like this is needed, but it’s great to see Moore do such an outstanding job.”
