3. And Georgie boy will be in TAMPA on Friday...

I can't go, but MOVEON is organizing a protest:

Excerpt from the Moveon email:

Join MoveOn and other groups this Friday at 8:30am as we protest President Bush's visit to Tampa and his broken promises to America's women!

Dear MoveOn Member,
President Bush is coming to Tampa this Friday, July 16, for a Department of Justice conference on sex trafficking. And we'll be there to demand that he apologize to conference participants and to the public for breaking his promises to America's women.

Members of a dozen groups, from Planned Parenthood to the Sierra Club to America Coming Together, will gather outside the conference in downtown Tampa to send a message to President Bush and the news media that his poor record on women's issues will not go unnoticed. For more info and to join us, click here:

The event will be at the plaza across from the Tampa Marriot Waterside Hotel, 700 S. Florida Ave., in downtown Tampa. It will begin at 8:30am.

You can also help us prepare on Thursday night, with sign-making from 5-9 PM and a media training at 7 PM for MoveOn volunteers who are interested in becoming a part of our new Tampa Bay media team. Just come to the America Coming Together (ACT) office at 3701 W. Cherry St. in Tampa (813-350-9007). Even if you can't come Friday, you can join us Thursday night.

Bush ran on a "W is for Women" pledge. Yet, his record is a long list of empty and broken promises to women, from doing nothing to lower health care costs, to cutting funding for women's health care programs and shelters for battered women, to cutting Violence Against Women programs.

Earlier this year, Bush outright cut $20 million in funding for the victims of sex trafficking. Now he is cynically trying to use this conference to try to boost his campaign.

President Bush has become adept at saying one thing and doing another. We have an opportunity to shine the spotlight on his poor record, but we need your help. Sign up here:
