R. David Walker for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture
Florida is at a crossroad. Republicans are in power for over 20 years and nothing has been done to protect our environment, our public land, or our water. Our beach is given away to developers and special interest, and we have pollution of our water system. This has to stop and this year is our best chance for change.
-----
My Republican opponents have the NRA, the fossil fuel industry, developers, and other special interest, but I have you and other concerned citizens who want change.

Tampa's Little Secret
A long time ago Scott Street was in the middle of Tampa's Central Avenue District until Interstates 4 and 275 (Malfunction Junction) came along. It was the core of the city's African American community. Today Central Park Village public housing is gone and it is being replaced by new housing developments. But this beautiful
little church is still there.
I spoke to Pastor Frank Williams Jr. and he told me his church is protected, no one tears it down unless he wants it tore down.
Today it is both a political statement
And a treasure trove of Tampa history

I Am Now A Democrat
Please no hate mail or comments. The blog stays as is. This is just temporary so that I can vote for Andrew Gillum and Tamika Lyles. Hopefully by 2020 Florida will be an open primary state and I won't have to do it again to vote for Bernie.
-----
I registered to vote in 1976 as an Independent (Now NPA). I never thought much of party politics. A fellow local blogger became an American citizen (No not from a shit hole country) in 2016 just so she could vote for Bernie. I should of done it then, but I didn't. A friend has shown me the importance of being able to vote in the primaries. So I am not going to let that happen again.

If you want to take back our government you should too.
By the time the general comes, it is too late.

Thank you Nina!
