Anthony Metzmeier Homeless Pan Handler
I saw Anthony Metzmeier who is a Homeless man living in the woods in Brandon. I stopped and talked a little while with him and he had many questions as to why I am spending my time making these videos. My answer is simply that if I am able to do this and give others a way to be heard than I am doing my part.

Joe Redner's Voice of Freedom Park
Joe Redner, a Tampa businessman and local hero, will allow Occupy Tampa to set up camp in his private park, Voice of Freedom. The park is located in economically depressed west Tampa, about a block from old downtown. Kelly Benjamin said he “got it straight from the horse’s mouth,” as the mayor and city council members have already given him “a firm no” on giving OT a downtown park.

Scott Barrish Anti-Islam
Scott Barrish of Florida, a Republican candidate for Hillsborough Clerk of Circuit Court, has stirred up a major firestorm with an email to CAIR, saying “Islam is not a religion.”
Barrish sent his email to Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He was responding to a Tampa Tribune opinion piece by Shibly that criticized the Hernando County Republican Party for hosting U.S. Rep. Allen West and Senate candidate Adam Hasner,
who have voiced anti-Islamic opinions.

Saturday In Tampa
After bailouts and free passes from the government, big Wall Street banks are suddenly being held accountable by the American people.
Tens of thousands of bank customers have pledged to move their money out of the big banks and into the small banks and credit unions that are actually investing in our communities. This Saturday in Tampa we tell the big banks—and our government—no more free passes for damaging our economy.
