OK, This seems to be turning into one of those things where folks have views that differ in important ways, but there seems to be a consensus that pulling away from Clearwater (at least for now) merits a word to the Florida legislature and possibly others (the Tampa/Clearwater City Council, perhaps?.

Is someone willing to draft a letter that could be sent from FEAST (with the approval of the membership, of course) to the appropriate persons, perhaps with the co-signature of the the Florida gay equality group that has been mentioned?

I'd volunteer, but I've done so much of this stuff over the last quarter century years that I really do think we need some younger folks to step up get practiced in this kind of work.

Any takers?

Love,
Joan
