Protests Scheduled for April 14th and 18th

April 14th- Sign Waving and protest of Rick Scott at WSRE. WSRE will be airing Jeff Week's "Conversations" interview with Rick Scott on April 14th, 15th, and the 17th. We will be protesting the interview. Keep in mind that WE ARE NOT protesting WSRE TV but are protesting the interview with Rick Scott so we need to be clear with our signage that the protest is directed towards Rick Scott and not towards WSRE or Pensacola State College.

WHAT: Sign waving and protest of Rick Scott interview

WHEN: April 14th from 6:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

ADDRESS: 1000 College Blvd, Pensacola, FL 32504



APRIL 18th- Tax Day protest at Bank of America. This tax day has been extended to Monday April 18th. We will meet up and picket B of A on this day as they received billions in bailout money during the first quarter of 2009 to show the hypocrisy of Florida legislators and Rick Scott who are pushing through the legislation with budget cuts that affect working families in Florida while giving tax breaks to corporations. Senators and House representatives say they have researched all options thoroughly to resolve the economic issues of Florida and can have found that cutting across the board in the public sector will resolved the budget problem in Florida. We know that's not true as there are plenty of corporate tax loopholes that can be filled that will help. Legislators refuse to tax corporations and we'll show them on the 18th as well as the rest of the general public that we will not let Florida be a tax free corporate haven. We need to bring a large crowd for this action so please start spreading the word. Also, signage needs to be specific to why we picketing.

WHAT: Tax Day protest at Bank of America

WHEN: April 18th from 4:00 P.M to 5:30 P.M.

ADDRESS: 5041 Bayou Blvd, Pensacola, FL 32503
