St. Petersburg FL Preps to Protest Chamber of Commerce & General David Petraeus, GQ's "Leader of the Year"
"Protest the Head of U.S. Central Command" on Thursday, January 14 at 5:30pm.
Start Time: Thursday, January 14 at 5:30pm
End Time: Thursday, January 14 at 7:00pm
Where: Renaissance Vinoy in Downtown St. Petersburg (map)
The St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce has invited Gen. David Petraeus to be their keynote speaker at the Chamber's annual banquet.
Gen. Petraeus is current commander of CENTCOM, which is responsible for US "security interests" in 20 nations. While Gen. Petraeus was being named "leader of the year" by GQ (similar to, although not as absurd as Obama winning a Nobel Peace prize), active-duty soldiers who have the courage to resist illegal and unjust wars are being imprisoned or forced to go AWOL.
The event is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 14th at the Renaissance Vinoy in downtown St. Petersburg (map). If you would like to take part in the protest, meet at North Straub Park (Beach Drv. and 4th Ave.) at 5:30pm. Bring a sign or use one of ours. http://stpeteforpeace.org/
