The Sarasota/Manatee Farmworker Supporters are sponsoring a public forum at the Selby Library auditorium on Saturday, October 2, 2004 at 2pm called Candidates Forum. We are calling on electoral candidates and city officials to present their views on the rights and needs of the farmworkers today; what they would work for if elected. Included in the speakers are Jan Schneider,candidate for Congress; Kathy Dent, supervisor of elections; and Alberto Belinfante, candidate for city commissioner of North Port. The public is invited. Admission is free. We believe that the farmworker is often ignored in electoral debates and speeches. Here is a chance for all of to get to know what some of the candidates think about the issues that concern these hard-working men and women with strong family values. |
