America’s Snobbiest Cities: Tampa #6, Miami #2


#StopScott

In the last four years, Rick Scott has waged an assault on the rights of Florida women, even throwing a party at the Governor’s mansion as he signed laws rolling back the clock on women’s health.  Whether it’s interfering at the doctor’s office or restricting access to birth control, we do not need politicians like Rick Scott inserting himself into our personal decisions.
Visit our new #StopScott website and show your family and friends what it will look like if Rick Scott is allowed to keep interfering in our personal lives.

Rick Scott worst enemy of Black Floridians in the last 20 years

Anything she wanted to do, he killed. He cut off the Office of Supplier Diversity, which tries to help Black business do business with the state. He cut funding for the Black Business Investment Corporation, which helped fund Black businesses. It was terrible. He’s the worst enemy of Black Floridians 
in the last 20 years.” here

  Said the boys were no different from “bank robbers and rapists” because they 
entered the country illegally.

In the past 13 months, more than 63,000 undocumented minors have entered the United States over the Mexico border, and the federal government is looking for places to house them until they can be placed with relatives or sponsors.

The Holiday shelter, began accepting immigrant boys between the ages of 8 and 17 in June. It was seeking approval to double the number of beds at the Darlington Road facility.  Pasco County's Planning Commission approved it by a 6-3 vote. here

27 days to victory for medical marijuana ... Are you with us?

We have 27 days to go
I joined up as chair of this campaign over a year and a half ago - when a lot of people felt winning would be impossible. Now we are on the cusp of delivering compassionate care to thousands of Floridians, some in severe pain or having trouble eating 
or controlling their seizures.

We're asking every potential donor - large and small - to join us (or join us again).  Ben tells me that we need another $35,241 raised online in the next 9 days.

4 weeks is an eternity in politics, but very little time when it comes to fundraising.  A lot can happen and we need to be writing checks to advertising outlets now.  We can't let the No on 2 campaign's lies go unanswered.

Thank you, John Morgan

John Schilling: I blew the whistle on Rick Scott's fraud

I was an accountant at Columbia/HCA when Rick Scott was CEO. I uncovered two sets of books: one that showed the company ripping off taxpayers, and one that didn't. And I watched as the company that Rick Scott led turned in fraudulent books to the federal government. He hurt seniors, taxpayers -- everyone.

Fraud is in his DNA. And now, as our governor, he's been defrauding Floridians. It made me sick to see Scott regularly put profits over patients and prioritize the bottom line over the care of folks who needed help the most. He says he wasn't aware of it -- but that's just not true. He knew. He had to know.

That's why I worked with the FBI to help get Scott out of the health care business.  But today, he's at it again -- this time, from Tallahassee. He used the money he made from ripping off seniors to promote himself -- and, arguably, to buy the governor's mansion.

And if we don't stop him now, Scott will stay in there.
Let's get him out. Donate to Charlie Crist today:

Thank you, John Schilling

HERO will ensure that no one in Hillsborough County can be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Commission also voted 7 to 0 to move an ordinance creating a countywide domestic partnership registry forward to a public hearing and final vote on October 15 at 2:00pm.
