61. Nice To Hear... I Know Palmetto Near Skyway Has A Large Population.

But, you appear to know about my area. Katherine Harris was my Congress Critter for 2 terms. I was involved with the Christine Jennings election at the time. WE did think she won, she felt she won because Sarasota County was the county that she was connected to more closely.

I recall talking with her and being involved with the 18,500 under votes. We've protested here around "Vernie" Buchanan's office, but there weren't many of us. This was back when we tried to get Occupy off the ground, but local Democratic Party distanced themselves from us.

Yeah, Crist is from Tampa, and Castor too. Big stuff going on down in Immokalee with immigrant workers and it seems to be building. Of course, they keep a big thumb on them. We used to have a large group of immigrants who picked celery around here, but haven't heard about them for a while.

My sister lives in Seminole, and I lived in Largo for a while and it does lean more Democratic. I sure hope you're right about my area, but living here I know what power money has. They took the benches out of the small park in downtown Sarasota because they build Condos around the area and didn't want riff-raff hanging there. They have a homeless community close by and they've been fighting about it for some time now.

But, as I said I do like living in this area because it's very nice. Actually live in Nokomis between Sarasota & Venice. New College is here, Ringling School of Art and more small colleges.
