Government is local and politics is really ISSUES BASED!

THANKS for your votes!!! On November 2nd, 2010, I WON WITH 82,404 VOTES AT 37.74% OF THE TOTAL VOTES CAST! I spent less than $300 for my campaign!

On that Oil Spill... The call went out to create an event for HANDS ACROSS THE SAND in October of 2009. The first event and a statewide initiative on February 13th of last year was to hopefully increase awareness and get media coverage about the issue of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico  before legislation lifting the current ban could be voted on and approved. Everything we noted on that day that could happen--has happened. Lifting the ban would allow oil platforms within 3 miles of our beaches. April 20th, 2010 changed everything! We had a second Hands Across the Sand event on June 26th, 2010 that went GLOBAL. And then a third event on June 25th, 2011.

The local citizens here in Tampa Bay that still agree with the drilling are simply responding to the slick advertising campaigns by BP that inundate our TV programming during prime time hours. The long term affects to our environment, wildlife and beaches will be huge not to mention the human impact, the toxic effects and medical/health ramifications. Tourism brings in about $65 billion to the state's economy. Florida's tourism industry, our ONLY industry will die out if there are no clean beaches for tourists to visit.

THE OIL IS STILL HERE AND SO ARE WE!

Anita Stewart, Member of the Hillsborough County Soil and Water Conservation Board, Seat 5

I have a sincere love for the Tampa Bay area and an honest desire to preserve our fragile ecosystems, promote growth by "greening" in all aspects and at all levels and deal with integrity regarding our environmental issues. Responsible stewardship of the lands and waters! No selling or misusing our precious lands and waters or handing them over to the corporations! My vision is to eventually see Tampa Bay and all of Florida adopting the use of alternative fuels, community gardens in every neighborhood, and sustainable green businesses...let's keep our goods and food local and support each other economically at the same time!

About Anita...

Anita Stewart is a licensed medical professional, herb gardener, artist, freelance writer, blogger and photographer, independent publicist, political professional and New Media and Virtual Outreach expert. Anita was born in Detroit and grew up in a rock and roll radio station in Pennsylvania that her father owned, so news, media and music has always been an important part of her life. She is a vocalist that used to sing backup in a rock and roll band but now sings while driving or in the shower. Anita is a USAF veteran and worked as an Intelligence Operations Specialist in the US and in Europe. While attending the University of Maryland, where she studied English, Film and Journalism, she worked for Arbitron Radio Ratings in Laurel and Beltsville, MD and the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC and was a member of the AFL-CIO Local 25 Hotel and Restaurant Worker's Union. That's where her activism began as she worked with the Union, Rainbow Push Coalition and other local Washington DC organizations to assure that women and people of color were hired as servers in the 5 star restaurants. Anita was one of the first organizers of Chapter 119, the Tampa Bay Veterans for Peace and of Code Pink Tampa Bay and the Tampa Bay Indymedia Collective. From December of 2006 until June of 2007 Anita volunteered on the Virtual Outreach team for the Kucinich for President 2008 Campaign. She became an official member of the campaign staff in July of 2007. She volunteered as a virtual outreach coordinator for the Cynthia McKinney Presidential Campaign in 2008 and was on the official Media Team. Anita was one of the first organizers for Hands Across the Sand, a global initiative to increase awareness on switching from offshore oil drilling to the use of Energy Alternatives! Anita is a strong believer in working to change the course of our country by reforming our media and electoral processes and by using the Internet to organize Progressives, Independents and other Third Party voters on the issues. She actively supports non-corporate "owned" Progressives, Independents and other Third Party candidates for local, state and federal offices.  She organizes and informs others about environmental issues and events. She supports MOVETOAMEND.org, a movement to add the 28th Amendment to the Constitution to abolish Corporate Personhood. Soon she will be attending a Permaculture Urban Design class for her certification. When Anita has any spare time she is singing, listening to music, spending time in the woods, hiking, swimming, writing, painting, taking photos, playing on the Internet or taking care of Hospice patients. Anita was recently elected to the Hillsborough County (Tampa Metro) Soil and Water Conservation Board, Seat 5. She broke records by getting over 82,000 votes at 37% of the total votes cast and spent less than $300 for her campaign.
