On Monday, September 12, at 6 p.m., the Voter Empowerment Coalition will host a Presidential Debate Rally. The event will take place at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

The meeting will include a broad coalition of concerned citizens, civil rights activists, labor unionists, elected officials, and clergy. The rally is being called a “Rally of Conscience.”

A spokesperson for the Rainbow, PUSH Coalition said the rally will bring attention to the fact that candidates for U. S. President and others seeking political office should focus on providing authentic plans for putting Americans back to work, rebuilding the nation’s economy and safeguarding voting rights.

The Tea Party Express and CNN are holding their Republican Presidential candidates debate on Monday, at 8 p.m., at the Tampa Fairgrounds. We invite all people of conscience and those who want to speak truth to power to join us at this event. We need to come together and say loudly and clearly:

“We are not interested in wedge issues and divisive rhetoric. We want jobs, jobs, jobs and our rights protected, not more right wing venom to poison the body politic and further alienate us from each other,” the spokesperson said.

For additional information about the rally, contact Rev. Charles McKenzie at (941) 592-0045.
