Marco Rubio Blames American People For Immigration Reform Failure
During the December 15 Republican presidential debate, Sen. Marco Rubio again backed away from his support of comprehensive immigration reform in 2013, saying his opinion changed with that of the American people. However, polling data suggests that Americans consistently favored comprehensive immigration reform, the Republican Party sabotaged immigration reform, and Rubio faced extreme backlash from right-wing media causing him to change his position. here

(Central America, Middle East) are a lot worst off then those fleeing Cuba,
yet Cubans get a free pass." YCS

A Few Words From Alan Grayson
"War— what is it good for? We’ve been asking ourselves this question since Edwin Starr first belted it out in 1970. I can tell you what it’s good for-- padding the pockets of defense contractors and a certain former Vice President who shall remain nameless. I can tell you what it isn’t good for-- peace, the majority of Americans, and our economy. When the rich decide to go to war, it’s the poor and middle class who end up paying for it, with both their money and their lives. Personally, I’m a firm believer that we shouldn’t sacrifice human lives so that a few defense contractors can make big bucks off of making bombs." Alan Grayson

Florida's Charter School Ripoff
Charter schools, which are public schools run by private groups, have received more than $760 million from state taxpayers since 2000 according to an Associated Press analysis of state Department of Education records. Schools can use the money for construction costs, rent payments, buses and even property insurance.
Yet charter schools in 30 districts have wound up closing after receiving as much as $70 million combined in such funding. here

If we remember correctly they built The Tampa Bypass Canal
(Destroying Six Mile Creek) to keep the river from flooding.
So why now do we have to take the water from The Morris Bridge Sink?

The 809 Idiots Of Woodland, North Carolina
The city council rejected a proposed re-zoning for a solar farm after residents expressed concern that the farm would cause cancer deaths, kill plants around the panels, and drive away young people from the town.
But the best/worst reason
came from local
came from local
Bobby Mann,
who claimed that the solar panels would …
“suck up all the energy from the sun.”

An investigation by the Miami Herald has uncovered how the state gutted its Children's Medical Services, a program designed to help chronically ill and disabled poor children. here
