White House officials announced Friday that the president will be in town Friday for remarks at a national conference sponsored by the Justice Department on human trafficking.

In recent weeks, the Justice Department has focused a lot of attention on the Tampa Bay area. On June 24, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the department was sending teams of law enforcement officers into 15 cities with high violent-crime rates, including Tampa. On June 30, Ashcroft stopped in for a meeting with local antiterrorism law enforcement officers.

U.S. Attorney Paul Perez said Bush's planned visit ``just shows the president's commitment to this issue and to our initiative concerning human trafficking.''

1. Hey, nsma - you may have posted a little late for Tampa folks -

3. Thanks

they'll wake up to a new opportunity!

And I am glad you will be ready for visitors..maybe we can figure out a mini trip in the fall...before it's dark all the time!

4. Fall is brief and beautiful - try to make it by mid-September!

If not, winter is gorgeous and well worth the extra dark. February is fun (Winter Festival, Yukon Quest), March has more daylight...

Just come up! Don't care when! The motor home is operable year round and is just about as roomy as a small motel room, with more amenities!

5. Wouldn't human trafficking include the senseless slaughter

of humans for causes built on lies?

Maybe that's just me.

I hope many turn out to help turn out those damn thugs!

6. OMG... Cool!

When I find out the logistics, I'll post them here. And I'll see if I can recruit some people in line tonight at F911 when I go see it again. AND... I'll try to recruit some people at the Moveon Phone Party I'm going to on Sunday.

Wow... in the space of a couple of weeks, I get to shake John Kerry's hand and spit at Bush.

:bounce:

THANKS for posting this! :loveya:

On edit... I bet they will be at McDill AFB... which would suck, but I'll go anyway.
