Mayor Giuliani spoke for approximately 20 minutes and then discussed his “12 Commitments to the American People,” which outlines his goals for the future should he become president. Following his speech, he quickly moved into an extended question and answer session with the audience and fielded questions on a variety of issues including cutting taxes, availability of health care, illegal immigration, and the price of gasoline.
The crowd of mostly seniors seemed supportive and Giuliani did not have to contend with any protestors or hecklers on this stop, as opposed to some of the other previous locations along his campaign trail.
Shell Point President Peter Dys welcomed the crowd and pointed out that the residents of the community consistently set above-average records for voter turnout in Lee County.
Among the group of special guests seated onstage with Giuliani were Shell Point Retirement Community President Peter Dys; Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeff Kottkamp; Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott; and businessman Steve Forbes; who traveled the state this week with Giuliani and serves as Giuliani’s national campaign co-chairman.
Shell Point Retirement Community is a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community located in Fort Myers just off Summerlin Road, two miles before the Sanibel causeway. Shell Point is CCRC Accredited and a nationally recognized leader in the retirement industry. Shell Point does not endorse any political party or candidate.
