“By virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of the city of Tampa, I do hereby proclaim November 15, 2008, as ‘Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Day’ in the city of Tampa, Florida.” -- Mayor Pam Iorio.
What is going on, when CAIR, an organization that is an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure, gets a day named in their honor in Tampa Florida?
I should have known.
UPDATE -
Anonymous commenters add the following information:
Mayor Pam Iorio reverses, has seen the error of her ways with CAIR
Tampa mayor ends proclamations for American-Islamic group

TAMPA — Mayor Pam Iorio has declined to honor the Council on American-Islamic Relations this year, ending a four-year tradition of proclaiming an annual CAIR Day.
Iorio said the Tampa Jewish Federation suggested several months ago that she take a closer look at CAIR, which has been accused of having ties to terrorist groups.
"We issued the proclamations in the past based on best available information. And now we're not going to issue proclamations based on best available information," Iorio said.
The group Americans Against Hate claimed credit for Iorio's decision in a news release on Wednesday. But Iorio said she was unfamiliar with the group.
Iorio may have visibly reversed - only to redirect her efforts at 'community organizing' (yup, sounds like she's deeply embedded in the Obama camp):
"Building Bridges Over Troubled Waters"
Glance down to Part two, or the Training Phase, will include a “Kick Off” meeting with Mayor Pam Iorio, and take note of their first listed goal:
"Do we have to create a separate 501(c)(3) organization from our mosque, synagogue, temple or church to accomplish our goals?
. . .shrewd fool, this one.
