Sunday, 8 June 2008

Spring Hill, Florida: Brian Moore, Socialist Party candidate for President, 2008, was part of a two-hour demonstration in front of Republican Presidential candidate John McCain's $1,000-a-plate fundraiser at the Vinot Resort, Golf & Country Club in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Wednesday, June 4, 2008, from 5 to 7 PM.

Reporter Jamie Kidder from WMNF 88.5 FM Community Radio interviewed representatives of the AFL-CIO union in coordination with the Progressive Democrats of America, who were supporting Democratic candidate Barack Obama, plus a smaller contingent of Senator John McCain supporters and Socialist presidential candidate Brian Moore.

Moore held two signs asking "What happened to campaign finance, John McCain?" and "Iraq War Exit Strategy?".

Three photos of the event are below, plus a WMNF radio 2.5 minute rush-hour report for the Greater Tampa Metropolitan area (including Sarasota, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Lakeland and northward, encompassing a population base of close to 2 million people) can be found here. The report starts 20.5 minutes into the program.
