Want to attend the conference, but don't want to drive to Key West?  Many of us are planning to ride the ferry from Fort Myers to Key West!  Contact John Hawkins at JohnBear4561@gmail.com if you would like to purchase round-trip tickets on the ferry!

Our Causes:

     Bizarrely shaped congressional and legislative districts divide communities and reduce the voting strength of like minded groups. Incumbents are rarely challenged.  Maps are drawn to avoid competition.  Our politicians design districts to protect their seats and perpetuate their power.  They pick their voters, rather than voters choosing them.  They rig districts so they can't lose. We have the chance to stop this unfair power grab!  We can make the Legislature follow fairness standards in Congressional and Legislative redistricting. 

Please download, print and SIGN the petitions (both pages).  Print a few extra copies for your friends to sign.  Bring your completed petitions to our next meeting or mail them directly to the address on the petition.  Get Active!  Sign the petitions!  Get fair districting!

     Because AAA South refuses to allow its members to add their same sex spouses as Associate members, we are encouraging EVERYONE - whether you are gay or just a friend of the gay community - to call or write the President of AAA South and demand that they reverse this discriminatory practice.  Please call or write the President of AAA South and demand them to change their policies:

Thomas E. O'Brien
1515 North Westshore Blvd.
Tampa, FL 33607
(813) 289-1467

Other AAA clubs around the country allow same sex partners to be Associate members. AAA South should NOT stand out as being anti-gay!

If they have not reversed this discriminatory practice by June 28, 2009
- the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Revolution -
then CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIPS!

We will PICKET every AAA South office in the region
until this discrimination has been stopped!

It's about CIVIL RIGHTS!
It's about EQUALITY!
It's about FAIRNESS!
It's about time we FIGHT BACK!
