GOP presidential contenders are on a collision course with the American electorate.
“There is simply no way that Republicans can seem like a modern political party with widespread appeal in the New America unless they adjust to the new reality on at least a few of their long-standing policy positions. . . . Foremost in this area are gay rights,” Dana Milbank
Screen grab of a Broward Acting Group’s Facebook post offering to pay for pretend protesters to back Big Sugar’s attempt to get out of the land deal they made with the State of Florida.
The Facebook post has since been taken down.
Who exactly is paying the fake protesters? Inquiring Floridians want to know.
You, Tallahassee Politician, are going to lose your moral authority in about 30 days.
When we put medical marijuana on the ballot in 2014 - so many of you objected,
saying legislature was the best place for this to get done.We all know what happened next: A billionaire
put in $6 million, funded an outrageous set of lies and exaggerations about the
amendment, and then we came just short of the 60% we needed, despite our 3.4
million votes cast in favor of medical marijuana.
Maybe some of you think we're bluffing. Maybe you don't believe our expert
pollster - who said that if we ran the exact same race in 2016 as we did in
2014, we'd win. (We're going to run a better race, regardless.)
Stop by C4G today at 4pm to meet WNBA Legend, Rushia Brown! All are welcome for this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This will be a great time to get pictures and
autographs!
These would be a few words (among others) to describe how the Florida
Legislature is implementing Amendment 1. This measure to purchase sensitive land
for conservation and recreation was approved by 75% of Florida voters last
November, receiving more votes than any other item on the ballot. So what is the
legislature doing? The exact opposite of what voters just told
them.here
The average wage theft claim in Pinellas County is estimated at about $500. Some 15,000 employees were affected over a year and a half and that’s just those who reported it.here
Over a dozen students at the University of South Florida (USF) gathered outside of Russell M. Cooper Hall on campus, March 30, to condemn recent interventions by the U.S. in Venezuela, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine here
As legislature sits on their ass, I'm ready to kick some ass.
If it
wasn't for medical marijuana, my brother Tim wouldn't be here today. The
legislature can solve this problem for patients throughout the state right now -
but they're not.
So we are going to gear up and get ready to do what we
did in 2014 - put medical marijuana back on the ballot.
Will you
help us? We have to raise even more money than before to make sure we are ready
for any kind of opposition. Even one funded by an out of state
billionaire.
I do want to thank the few, brave
Republican legislators who tried and failed to bring compassion to Florida.
Unfortunately, the power of the pharmaceutical industry is proving more powerful
than the people.
Today on the 3rd floor of our state's capitol, we set up tables on behalf of the central Florida farm worker community, to celebrate the legacy of Cesar Chavez. At noon, we were joined by Senators Soto & Bullard, as well as Representatives Torres, Pafford, Cortes, & Cruz to speak up on the importance of our resolution that will one day designate March 31st as Cesar Chavez Day here in Florida. here
SB 724 would force women in Florida to unnecessarily postpone access to an abortion for 24 hours.
This preposterous bill has nothing to do with health benefits. Instead, SB 724 will result in increased expenses, travel difficulties, and medical risks. In some parts of Florida, this could mean as much as 400 miles and eight hours of travel to get access to care.
