We Know Jeb Bush Well

  • It was Bush who, in violation of the Florida Constitution, repeatedly tried to take control of Terri Schiavo's very private end-of-life decision. 
  • He signed the "stand your ground" law in 2006 at the behest of the National Rifle Association. 
  • He implemented massive curtailments of early voting, resulting in the wholesale disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of Floridians, mostly African-American, in the 2008 election.
  • He opposed gay rights. 
  • He ended affirmative action in state contracts and college admissions.
  • Implemented a massive school voucher program.
  • Signed any antiabortion bill the Legislature sent him.
  • Billions in tax cuts to our wealthiest residents and corporations.
  • To pay for his tax breaks, he shifted billions more in property taxes onto the backs of homeowners and borrowed at unprecedented levels.
  • When he became governor, Florida had $13.2 billion in outstanding debt. When he left office in 2007, Florida's outstanding debt was over $23 billion, a 77 percent increase.
  • Under his administration, everyday Floridians were left with higher property taxes and greater debt.

Florida GOP Approves More Corporate Welfare

$400 million in corporate welfare to special interest groups and targeted industries. Taxes would be slashed for boat and yacht repairs, jet fuel for aviation schools and gun club memberships 
among them. 

Florida GOP Jack Latvala of Clearwater, defended the tax cuts on boat repairs. 

They did give us some scraps, cut our cell phone bills by about $20, give back-to-school shoppers 10 days of sales tax free shopping, and lower textbook prices for 
college students.


"Please turn your dead brains back to the "on" position and start thinking critically about what the Legislature is doing. They give you $20 in your left pocket while stealing $100 from your right pocket by forcing you to subsidize their lobbyist friends." Susan Smith

Bush 2016- Four More Years

Jeb's rejected new logo

More Bullshit In Hillsborough County

The county paid a million dollars on focus groups, surveys and polls to tell them that more people would vote yes to a half cent sales tax hike than a full cent. 

And their research showed residents want to see more of that money spent building and repairing roads than improving public transportation.

See chart above. This is a lie.
we want rail.

Rail wasn't even on the survey form. They told us to write it in. Check out our post on April 29, 2015 of the last meeting. here, It was all a sham.

At that meeting in Temple Terrace we were told that light rail, opponent and local Tea Bagger Sharon Calvert attends every meeting, 
where were you?

Hillsborough County Commissioners don't waste our time
NO RAIL? NO NEW TAXES!

Miami Cop Antonio Torres Murders Homeless Man in Front Of 50 Children

Police say  two officers responded to an emergency call that a homeless guy 
(Fritz Severe) was “armed with a metal object” in front of dozens of children at a city park and that one, a 20-year veteran of the department, “confronted the subject and shot him 5 times.

Witnesses, however, said Severe, a homeless 45-year-old who was familiar to local residents in the Overtown neighbourhood, was posing no threat to the children or the two officers who approached him, and was only waving his walking stick at them. here

“He was a homeless man, wasn’t bothering nobody. The man walks around, we see him every morning with his stick, the same little stick that he had in his hand when the police officer shot him five times.” Nichelle Green

A second witness, Stephanie Severance, said: “They really didn’t have to shoot that man. What happened to the tasers? Why couldn’t they tase him?”

The Cuba Trade Act

Would finally end our outdated embargo policy and establish a new economic relationship with Cuba that will support increased trade for American businesses and help the Cuban economy and its people to flourish. here

66 percent of Americans favor ending the trade embargo. Latinos, in particular, believe the embargo should end with 73 percent favoring open trade. Many Republicans, and a few Democrats, oppose the Obama administration's push to reestablish relations with Cuba; most prominent among them is Florida Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio.

No Rail? No New Tax In Hillsborough County!

Mike Merrill is WRONG!
“Rail, per se, did not poll very well,” 
County Administrator Mike Merrill

When I atended the Go Hillsborough public input meeting in Temple Terrace on April 28th Rail wasn't even an option on my survey form. I was told to write it in on the back. It was all a sham.


As you can see on this chart Rail and 
Bike Lanes are our biggest priorities

Hillsborough County GOP Corruption

The wage theft ordinance
(Miami-Dade model)
pitched by Hillsborough County Commissioner 
Kevin Beckner was pushed aside by the five Republican members of the Hillsborough County Commission in favor of a watered down version that might cost the county more in the long run. They seem to favor an ordinance in Palm Beach County that sends $125,000 in public money to a local legal aid society to handle wage theft complaints. here

The Palm Beach model happens to be the one favored by the Florida Retail Federation, which lobbies on behalf of retailers and contacted
Hillsborough Commission Chair 
Sandy Murman 
before the debate over Beckner’s proposal.

"The vote against adopting the Miami-Dade model seems more grounded in appearances and in appeasing a powerful lobby." Tampa Tribune

Tracey Carver-Allbritton: Racist In McKinney, Texas

The Pool Party Incident: 
What really happened
It appears that this situation wasn't because of a "fight" started between a group of "unruly" black kids - the fight actually started when a white couple came into an ongoing party of classmates and kids who all lived in the area to verbally abuse them 
with racial slurs 
Black fuckers
Go back to your section 8 housing
and slapped the teenage girl who hosted the party 
after she tried to defend a 14-year-old white girl who was also at the party and had stood up to them. Then those people left and called the police on the party claiming the black kids were fighting each other.  here
