John Morgan: Bring It On

We knew it was going to happen at some point. Mel Sembler - Sheldon Adelson's BFF and the leader of the "No on 2" campaign in 2014 announced today that he plans to spend $10 million to defeat medical marijuana this fall.
----------
I've got a message for Mel Sembler: BRING. IT. ON.
No amount of money and lies are going to stop us from winning this time.
I need your help TODAY. Make a donation to the campaign now
and send Mel Sembler and all those who would seek to stand in the way of compassion a message:
BRING. IT. ON. COMPASSION. IS. COMING. John

Mel Sembler Wants To Save Your Brain

Today, The Tampa Bay Times reported that Mel Sembler plans to raise at least 10 million to to kill proposed Amendment 2, Use of Marijuana for Debilitating Medical Conditions. In response, 
Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager at United for Care stated:
----------
Mel Sembler can spend whatever he wants to try and deny sick and suffering Floridians relief in the form of medical marijuana, but the will of the people is stronger than his money. Mr. Sembler and his allies tried this once already in 2014, they spent $7.5 million dollars attacking medical marijuana and while they were successful in defeating the amendment, an overwhelming, 58% majority of voters still voted “yes”.
----------
The misleading campaign Sembler oversaw in 2014 won’t work again in 2016. This version of Amendment 2 received unanimous approval by the Florida Supreme Court. Editorial boards of Florida newspapers that opposed Amendment 2 in 2014 now endorse it in 2016. The most prominent and visible opponents in 2014 - the Florida Sheriff’s Association - hasn’t yet taken a position this year.
----------
The opposition is going to have to create a new set of lies to oppose Amendment 2. The people of Florida will see through those lies. United for Care will wage a statewide campaign to counter Sembler’s dishonest attacks, and medical marijuana will pass in November.

Florida millennials please note. This guy is 85 years old and a republican, he will be gone soon and you will have to live with his bull shit. In 2014 we got 58%. VOTE in 2016 and make it happen!

Bianca A Garza Of United For Care

My heart aches, but it’s actually painless. But not for hundreds of thousands of Floridians. I am so saddened to know there are soo many Floridians who will continue to suffer, who will technically live as criminals and who will risk their lives to obtain cannabis for their family to find relief. Last night I literally had nightmares of the people Ive met along this journey who will continue to suffer, but my dreams don’t compare to their everyday reality. I normally don’t wi...sh negative happenings on people, but I hope the No folks have a few nightmares themselves. Perhaps it will bring about a change in them. more
Great job Ms. Garza, thank you for all your hard work.

Florida Millennials It's Your Time

Amendment 2 will not pass without your VOTE. Don't let a bunch of old people shape your future.

Standout South Florida Physician Dr. Rudolph Moise Endorses Amendment 2

Doctor Rudolph Moise, DO., MBA., JD., a longtime leader in the South Florida medical community, is expressing his support for Amendment 2 and the medical use of marijuana.

Dr. Moise is an advocate for helping patients in desperate need of alleviating pain, nausea, seizures and other symptoms associated with cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis among other ailments. He is speaking out about the benefits of medical marijuana in order to encourage voters to approve this needed amendment.  He is also eager to see other Florida physicians lend their support to this effort because he believes it would help them provide the best care possible for their patients. 

 “Americans are suffering with pain every day and medical marijuana is a safe, measured and regulated way for severely ill patients to be more comfortable and improve their quality of life,” said Dr. Moise. “What voters don’t know is that communities with medical marijuana availability have actually seen decreases in crime, in deaths from prescription painkillers, and even reductions in teenage use.”

 “The majority of Americans, more than 160 Million in 23 states plus the District of Columbia, have the legal right to choose medical marijuana when recommended by their physician for debilitating conditions. However, in Florida the elderly and residents who seek to relieve their suffering with cannabis are considered criminals. This is just wrong and inhumane,”
said Dr. Moise.

"Having a physician of Dr. Moise's stature come out in favor of Amendment 2 confirms what we have been saying all along: There is strong support at the highest levels of the medical profession for what we are trying to accomplish," said Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager at United for Care.  "Dr. Moise understands Amendment 2 is the right thing to do for both the doctors and their patients because it puts medical choices in their hands, not in the hands of politicians."
Dr. Rudolph Moise is the President and CEO of Comprehensive Health Center, LLC a large primary health care practice with centers in Dade, Broward and Central Florida. He practices family medicine and pain management. He is also the CEO of Physician Access Urgent Care Group (PAUC), a Managed Service Organization (MSO), which manages 40 medical practices in South and Central Florida. Dr. Moise has received multiple awards from several organizations around the country. In 2005 the South Florida Business Journal named him one of the five finalists for the “Best Physician of Year” award. He is a member of multiple boards, including The Dade County Medical Association, United Way of Miami Dade County, Jackson Memorial Foundation, and North Shore Hospital. He recently retired from the Air Force Reserve after 21 years of honorable service as a Colonel and Flight Surgeon.
