Florida's Culture Of Corruption

Corporations that pollute have been donating to the GOP, to Florida Realtors and to the Florida Chamber of Commerce. In turn those organizations promote and endorse the candidates with the failing voting records on water. Those candidates look the other way while corporations like Big Sugar lobby to weaken water protections. Many politicians like to say they are strong on water but they don't do what it would actually take to keep our waters clean. For example, Rooney has a F voting record on water and he took money from the oil industry. HERE

Florida Panhandle Check This Out

The House on Monday night approved the $19.1 billion disaster aid package by a vote of 354-58 and sent it on to Trump. 
---
Gov. Ron DeSantis called it a “huge victory” for Floridians.
---
 Yet two no votes came from 
Florida Republicans: U.S. Reps. Greg Steube and Francis Rooney
---
Rooney represents a part of the state that got whacked in 2017 by Hurricane Irma. HERE

Florida GOP You Are Being Watched

The GOP tax heist is NOT a sure thing
This bill still has TWO very important hurdles to jump.
The House and Senate passed different versions of the bill. Before a bill can go to the White House to be signed, the EXACT VERSION must pass the House and the Senate. Since the House originated this one, and passed their version first, the Senate now has to send their version back to the House who will then call a CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. This is where the differences between the House and Senate versions are theoretically ironed out until there is one bill with language the House and Senate can 
agree on.

So the version that comes out of Conference Committee must be voted on AGAIN! BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE TO VOTE ON THE BILL AGAIN.
----------
Here is Beth's Plan: 
PUT PRESSURE ON THE HOUSE MEMBERS. If they get public push-back, they may start to get nervous because EVERY SEAT in the House of Representatives is up for re-election in 2018. So any R voting for this knows s/he may face *very* angry voters in less than a year. Every horrible thing we find in the bill as we read it over the weekend can be laid right at the feet of Republicans.

Remember you are being watched and this blog will post your every move.
