There is research that finds a connection between pornography use and
mental illness.
mental illness.
-----
His colleagues are helping him out and they are declaring pornography a health risk. here

Florida Dem. Carlos Guillermo Smith is curious and asked Spano why there was an immediate need to pass the resolution and countered that there are more important bills and topics that should be taken up by the Legislature.

Mr. Spano we wish you well and may we recommend
Fellow Berner Paul Stolc For Leon County Commissioner
I am heeding Bernie’s call. My name is Paul Stolc and I would like to be your next Leon County Commissioner for District 5.
-----
In 2015, I started my political journey by volunteering for a little known Senator from Vermont who was running for President on a message of justice – social, economic, criminal, environmental, etc. He empowered the people themselves to join the political process, involve themselves in their communities, and to become the change we wanted to see in this world. He taught us that making the world a better place was not just for those at the top, but came from those fighting from the bottom up. He called on everyone to fight for justice, and to run for public office no matter how small.

He grew up in Tampa and his dad still lives here. We can't vote for him but we can help him. Share and donate.

Tampa's Booming Downtown?
We are always hearing how our downtown is booming. Since our mayor has spent all of his time in office concentrating on downtown and neglecting the rest of Tampa, I decided to get off the #360LX taking me home and see if I could find some action. I picked a Saturday night thinking that would be the best time.
-----
Nothing on Florida Ave: 7 PM
Or Franklin Street
Tampa Steet was also lifeless
Well lets try Curtis Hixon Park
Nope, no action here
Everybody is always talking about the Riverwalk.
Lets go there
Nope. nobody here either
The Taco Truck guy looks bored
Where is everybody?

MOL 33% of Americans just don't get it
and probably never will.
and probably never will.
55 - 33 = 22
That means only 22% that do are voting.
Note: Most of the counties in voter turnout are in Scandinavia. Goverment can work, you just have to participate.

Florida GOP Votes Down Motion To Take Up Weapons Ban
36-71
This was a party line vote
Even with Douglas students in the gallery these demons still voted down a motion to take up a ban on assault weapons such as the AR-15 used by Nikolas Cruz when he killed 17 people at the school on Valentine's Day. here
-----
Still think there is no difference in parties?
This November you can change this.
But you got to vote! Remember the only way they get elected is via voter suppresion, gerrymandering and their small ignorant base.
You must turn out in huge numbers to overcome this.
There are plenty of days for early voting plus election day.
Don't want to get off your lazy ass to do it?
Then Vote by Mail

Lesson For Florida Dems
Despite holding a slight registation edge statewide, the Florida Democratic party is looking at losing a U. S. Senate seat and a continuation of the Republican grip on the governor’s mansion if polls are to be believed.
-----
Gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum could break that 20-year cycle. The Tallahassee mayor has all the ingredients of a winner: a visionary platform, name recognition, a new savvy finance chairman, and charisma. Oh, and he is African-American.
-----
Doug Jones’ victory in Alabama gave Democrats a winning template: turning out minority voters in huge numbers, energizing Millennials, and closing the gap with college-educated white voters.
-----
None of Gillum’s opponents in the Democratic primary would be able to come within light years of what he is capable of achieving in a general election.
------
The Florida Democratic party has been more like the Florida Aristocratic party with elitist state chairpersons like Allison Tant and Stephen Bittel. Paying lip service to neutrality in the governor’s race while quietly promoting former Gov. Bob Graham’s daughter would be another in a long history of costly unforced errors by party elders. more

Florida Hero Anthony Borges
Anthony is a victim of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. During this unspeakable tragedy, Anthony was able to save about 20 other students as he attempted to close and lock the door to a classroom. He was shot multiple times (both legs were shot, left upper thigh bone shattered and one bullet went through his back). He has a long road of recovery ahead of him but he
is alive and stable.
-----
Our thoughts and prayers are with Anthony and his family. Any help is very much appreciated. here
