Istanbul, Turkey; July 9, 2008 – Six killed at the U.S. Consulate.
Sana’a, Yemen; September 17, 2008 – Sixteen killed (including a newlywed couple) at the U.S. Embassy. The second attack in 7 months. No cries for extra security here, either.

Beverly Ledbetter for the Florida House of Representatives District 38

Our District deserves someone who knows both the people and the issues facing Eastern Pasco County.
As a Dade City resident since 1973,
I have raised a family here,
taught in the Pasco County school system,
and worked to make our community a better place. I am invested in our community and committed to the citizens of our district. My motivation is to serve you – not to use this seat as a springboard for another political office. I really love East Pasco and want to move us forward by serving you in the Florida House of Representatives.

City Of Deerfield Beach Has Declared War On Satan

I just want equal billing.

We allow various religious nutjobs to give a prayer.

They pray to Jesus who is make-believe, god who is make-believe,

Why not Satan who is make-believe?

Why discriminate against one make-believe god over another? Satan and I are being circumvented. The city of Deerfield Beach has once again declared war on religion —

and this time it’s Satanism.”

Chaz, don't be picking on Jesus!

But the lack of support they get from our legislature in Tallahassee.

Unfortunately Tallahassee’s got it all wrong. Florida is ranked 44th in classroom teacher pay; and instead of supporting our teachers,
Tallahassee politicians

have gutted education funding.......more>
