Jeb And Rubio Support Oil Drilling 50 Miles From Tampa Bay

Florida GOP contenders for the White House  Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio 
support an expansion 

(50 miles from Tampa Bay)

 of domestic energy production. That's a flip-flop for Bush, who as governor fought such bids to allow rigs closer to 
Florida's coastline. here

Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson came out as the state's initial defender by recently filing a bill that counters the 
pro-drilling measure.

Slorida's Bill Nelson On List Of Disgraceful Democrats

Here are the others,

Sens. Ron Wyden (Oregon), Maria Cantwell (Washington), Tom Carper (Delaware), Ben Cardin (Maryland), Michael Bennet (Colorado), and Mark Warner (Virginia).

All voted to pass Fast Track authority for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), easing the way for eventual passage of a trade deal corporations can read, but you are not allowed to. Passing fast track authority means that Congress hands over any rights to amend a trade deal, giving carte blanche to the negotiators and forgoing the democratic process. This is especially bad since the deal is being made in secret and the little we do know about it is awful for working families. here

Bill Nelson: Spoken Like A True Democrat

"Since taking office nearly four years ago, I believe Gov. Rick Scott has been leading our state in the wrong direction. And now, as a result, I think we're headed into the ditch. During his time as the state's chief executive, there's been an assault on Florida's voter laws, there's been a refusal to expand Medicaid to more than a million people, and there's been a deregulation of the state's health care industry, allowing rates to go up unchecked. Just imagine what he'll do if given another four years without any checks or balances. 

We can replace Rick Scott with Charlie Crist." Bill Nelson.

It's nice to see Florida Dems sticking together,unlike our mayor.

Florida GOP to blame for health insurance rate hikes

The state is not doing its job to protect consumers from health insurance rate hikes. After passing up billions of dollars from the federal government for the state to expand Medicaid, Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-controlled Legislature callously enacted a new law that, in essence, prevents the state’s insurance commissioner from regulating health insurance rates. here

Thanks Sen. Nelson

Great news! Senator Nelson just became the Senate’s latest co-sponsor for SJ Res 19, the proposed constitutional amendment to fight the corruptive influence of big money in politics!

It’s important that Sen. Nelson knows his decision has the support of Floridians like you. Can you spare a few minutes to call Sen. Nelson’s office and thank him for joining the fight to undo the damage of decisions like
Citizens United?

Sen. Nelson’s office: (202) 224-5274

With the addition of Sen. Nelson, SJ Res 19 now has 48 co-sponsors in the Senate! One name that’s still absent from that growing list? Senator Rubio’s. That’s why we need you to call Sen. Rubio today and ask why he hasn’t joined Sen. Nelson in supporting this critical amendment to restore strength and integrity to our democracy.

Sen. Rubio’s office: (202) 224-3041

And after you call, click here to tell us you did -- and to let us know how it went.
