Bought-and-Paid-For Patrick Murphy

When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of “Citizens United” in 2010, they opened the floodgates for Wall Street millionaires and billionaires to stupefy the voters, with a never-ending barrage of misleading information and outlandish attacks. I faced it in my previous races for the House, and we are already seeing Big Money get ready to attack me in next year’s election.
----------
The worst part? My primary opponent, Patrick Murphy, is a tool of these very same Super PACs. He was one of the biggest recipients in the country of Super PAC help in 2012. Now, Bought-and-Paid-For Patrick is refusing even to discuss an agreement to keep special-interest Big Money lies out of the 2016 Florida Senate race.

Rick Scott Hid Internal Emails Clearing Planned Parenthood

GOP 2016 Catastrophic Election
A new Zogby Analytics Poll of 850 adults 18-34 years old conducted on August 25 reveals that if Millennials turnout to vote, the GOP faces nothing short of a catastrophic election. The Zogby Poll was conducted online among that age cohort who are smart phone users 
– at least 86% of the total.
----------
Hillary Rodham Clinton Leads
Jeb Bush 48% to 24%
Carly Fiorina 50%-17%
Scott Walker 50% to 21%
Marco Rubio 48% to 21%

Florida’s Unemployment Insurance System Is The Worst In The Nation

Most unemployed workers never qualify and those who do, don’t receive the payments they need to pay for even the most basic necessities and the payments don’t last long enough for them to find work in an economy that 
is still in ruins. here 

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissioner Wants To Kill Our Panthers

FWC Commissioner Liesa Priddy and other business landowners are asking for what’s called an “incidental take permit.” The permit would protect them from civil or criminal penalties under the Endangered Species Act. That involves killing, hunting, shooting or trapping any threatened or endangered species. It also accounts for altering an animal’s natural habitat to the point it would not be able to reproduce or nest there. here

Patrick Murphy Throws Hillary To The Wolves

On May 8, 2014, the Republicans rammed through a resolution to establish the Select Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012 Terrorist Attack in Benghazi, a committee specifically designed as a witch hunt to drag Hillary Clinton through the mud and sully her name before the 2016 presidential election. Every single Republican voted YES (225 of them) and 186 Democrats voted NO. Seven of the worst Democrats in the House-- the ones who consistently vote for Boehner's agenda day in and day out-- crossed the aisle and voted with the Republicans. Patrick Murphy was one of them. here

United for Care Upset at Pasco County Decision to Pass Moratorium

In a unanimous decision, Pasco County commissioners voted to place a yearlong moratorium on medical marijuana. United for Care, the organization leading the charge in collecting petitions to put the decision of a comprehensive medical marijuana law before the voters in 2016 understands the difference between a ban and moratorium, but still finds the moratorium disappointing.

“We hoped that the commissioners of Pasco County would consider the needs of the patients and the detriment this yearlong moratorium could have on their citizens. Keeping medical marijuana treatment centers out of the county is not an effective way to bring safe access to their citizens,” said Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager of United the Care.

United for Care takes the position that local communities must decide what is best for themselves, but should do so in a way as to allow residents safe access to medical marijuana once it is available.

Mr. Pollara continued, “While we understand that local community leaders need to have discussions regarding new policies and do what’s best for their citizens, I think they’re jumping the gun. The commissioners are going to really hurt people who are in desperate need of relief. Hopefully they will reconsider and lift the moratorium soon."
