Poor in Tampa Bay

so. am i the only person disappointed by the lack of FREE things to do in the area? even the public parks are starting to charge to get in. how am i supposed to unschool my little ones when there's no FREE public resources outside of the struggling libraries?

There are awesome full-time and part-time jobs available for the summer in the Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete/etc.

The gig is circulating petitions for a ballot initiative for more fair elections in Florida... to end gerrymandering by non-partisan redistricting. It's a really awesome political issue. They're re-doing the districts in 2011 anyway, so the petition is to get them to use the new census information and already established city, county, and geographical boundaries to draw up the districts. For example, instead of a city being split into 2 or 3 districts with neighborhoods all split up, and areas 200 miles away being in the same district... the city would be in 1 district and those rural areas would be in their own district... things work better for everyone!

So, 1.2 million signatures need be collected and we need to give a lot of people jobs. $10-17 typical pay!

If you or someone you know wants a job email peoplespetitionconsultant@google.com or call Christina at (813)408-9237
