A downtown Tampa protest to save the high speed rail Tampa to Orlando was held on President’s Day. The protest was very well organized by former councilwoman Linda Saul-Sena. With pro on one side of city hall and anti ralliers on the other side of the Kennedy Blvd,  the protest rally got very heated at times. Ed Turanchik, Rev. Thomas Scott, Mary Mulhern, Congresswoman Cathy Castor, Carrie West & others all spoke to the highly generated cheering crowd.  This was the first time we had a chance to talk face to face with the Tea Party People. Unfortunately they never stopped screaming at us long enough to have a real conversation
