In some of her most extensive public comments about Cuba, Tampa area Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Castor says it's an "exciting time" on the Communist island in regards to some of the modest free-market reforms recently enacted under President Raoul Castro, and she says Tampa can become the gateway to Cuba, but emphasized reforms must continue to happen there.

Tampa Bay Says No to Islamophobia

2012-01-28T20:30:00.006-05:00

School yard bullying can take many forms. So Hillsborough County
school superintendent MaryEllen Elia and School Board chairwoman Candy Olson
are to be commended for standing up to the forces of bigotry and ignorance.
The pair on Tuesday rightly defended Steinbrenner High School history teacher Kelly Miliziano,
who recently invited a Muslim speaker to her classroom,
much to the narrow-minded consternation of local political gadflies, conservative activist
Terry Kemple and David Caton, executive director of the Florida Family Association.

Dr Randall Diez gives free dentistry to the poor by sponsoring a Dental Emergency Day.
New York Times has reported that more and more Americans forfeit their health care visit to the doctor because of not able to afford their insurance co-payments.

Help us spread this word about the Dental Emergency Day event to your friends, families and neighbors etc who could use some help in dental care.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-controlled legislature are moving fast to privatize all 29 prison facilities in 18 counties in southern Florida.

The man’s wife asked that he be taken to the hospital, but Lee County cops allegedly decided instead to “strip Christie naked, tie him to a chair, cover his face,
and then pepper spray him repeatedly, until he died.”

His death was ruled a homicide because he was restrained and repeatedly pepper-sprayed by law enforcement officers. But to this day, no one has been charged with a crime, and the state attorney cleared the sheriff’s office of criminal fault in the case.

Tampa and Ybor City already have some great celebration events, from Gasparilla to Guavaween. Why not another? As far as I’m concerned, we need as many excuses to play dress-up and wander from bar to bar as we can find. To that end I recommend that Tampa adopt Krampusnacht as a local celebration.
