Hey, Thanks for the Drinking Liberally plug! While most of us do enjoy a beer whilst discussing various topics, we also have candidates visit us from time to time. THIS Thursday, 10 Jan 2008, the South Tampa group and the Brandon group will hold a joint gathering in Brandon Florida at Old Chicago, and we will be joined by special guest Mr Kevin Beckner - Dem candidate for Hillsborough County Commissioner.
Cheers,
Joe
