Help AOC

In 2022, we can’t leave anything up to chance. We know that elections can be decided by as few as 89 people, which is why we need to start laying the groundwork and organizing now.

It’s through door-to-door canvassing that we were able to get the word out about the census and that same organizing work is what it will take to win in blue, purple, and red districts across the country.

Dems Stop Celebrating Pro-War Republicans and Ignoring Progressives

Rep. Ro Khanna: His party should be doing more to highlight its own rising progressive stars and less to celebrate conservatives who “got us into wars.”
---
“All of this star power in the new generation — [Democrats should] showcase them, because they can connect so effortlessly with young progressives [and] with communities of color [and] help get that turnout,” says Khanna, a progressive congressman from Silicon Valley who co-chaired Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign.  “I don't think we have fully deployed all of 
our talent yet.” HERE

DNC trying to SILENCE AOC

AOC is only being given 1 minute to speak at the DNC's Democratic national convention, even though much more time is being given to Republicans like John Kasich and hasbeens like Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. This is despite the fact that according to a new CBS poll, Democratic voters want to hear from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex more than they do from the Clintons or from Kasich. The reason she is being included is to prevent people from calling out the Democratic Party directly, but they want to only give her 60 seconds because they don't want her to do what Barack Obama did in his 2004 DNC keynote speech, which helped make him President. The DNC knows AOC may run for President in 2024, and people like Cornel West have called her a 2024 frontrunner.
If Kamala Harris is going be the next nominee after Biden's one term, they want to make sure AOC isn't in a position to primary her.

Hillsborough County Commissioners got taken by Amazon

Back in 2013 commissioners gave Amazon $225,000 in  Corporate Welfare to build a center in Ruskin. HERE

 Murman likened the Amazon deal to a business hurricane. "It can really give us that long term that we need," she said, "and this will be feeder bands, you know we talk a lot of about hurricanes, this is our hurricane because the feeder bands that will come off of this
will be unbelievable."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is “waiting on the haters to apologize” after Amazon said it would open up corporate offices in New York City to house more than 1,500 employees. The announcement from the internet giant came less than a year after it abruptly dropped plans to build a second headquarters in the city following backlash to the some $3 billion in financial incentives that the government had offered to woo the company. HERE

“Won’t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway - *without* requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
