Florida Taxpayers Taking It Deep
Florida GOP Senate President Andy Gardiner is telling state senators that taxpayers will pay their legal bills as part of an ongoing lawsuit over state senate districts.
The trial over the senate districts is scheduled for September. The groups contend the districts approved in 2012 violate a voter-approved amendment that says districts cannot be drawn to benefit incumbents or a particular party.
The GOP-controlled Florida Legislature since 2012 has already spent millions defending congressional and legislative maps. here

Whatever you do to another it is as tho you were doing it to Jesus for he said:"In as much as ye have done it into one of the least of these, my brothers, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)
Jesus said many people thru the ages would claim to be his followers but would actually be the followers of Satan. He called them
Wolves in Sheep's clothing.

Call Mayor Buckhorn Tomorrow
6am - 5pm
813.274.6251
The Tampa Police Department's current approach of "proactive" policing victimizes far too many in the Bay Area's Black community. We can most specifically see this manifested in the biking citation and arrest disparities. We are calling for an immediate end to the Bike citation program and an expansion in the current Department of Justice investigation to review the po...licing policies, practices,and arrest in Tampa.
Call Mayor Buckhorn and tell him,
"As a citizen in this city, I demand that there be an immediate end to the Bike citation program that disproportionately affects black people in this city. I also call for an immediate expansion of the DOJs investigation to include all arrest and policing practices in Tampa". The new chief has said he will continue this practice.
They are getting in trouble for things we all did as kids. Mayor Bob, Jane Castor and Chief Eric Ward we will never let you forget this.
You all should be ASHAMED!

Florida's Medicaid Coverage Gap

Liberals Win: Don't Mess With Elizabeth Warren
Senate Democrats dealt President Barack Obama a stinging setback on trade blocking efforts to begin a full-blown debate on his initiatives. Several Democrats said Obama erred by
pointedly criticizing a leading Democratic foe on trade, Sen. Elizabeth Warren
of Massachusetts, in an interview with Yahoo News. These Democrats said they
bristled when Obama suggested Warren was poorly informed and politically
motivated. Democratic senators said they also are tired of seeing the Democratic
president cozy up to Republicans on trade. here
Great job Democrats!

Obama attacks Warren
The #1 agenda item of corporate America is passing bad trade deals that hurt
workers and were written by big corporations in secret.
It's sad that President Obama is their biggest ally and is now attacking
Elizabeth Warren:
The trade proposal under consideration was written by giant corporations in
secret. Warren pointed out that provisions (that were leaked) would allow
corporations to overturn our nation's Wall Street reforms and other
regulations. Obama has tried to belittle Warren with insults -- saying she's just wrong
without actually disputing her core points. President Obama has never attacked Republican Leader Mitch McConnell
the way he's attacking Elizabeth Warren. Will you stand up to big corporations
and defend Warren?
Volusia County decorated war veteran will face trial for using medical marijuana
On May 18th, a decorated war veteran will face trial for using
medical marijuana. Jared Hunter, desperate to save his own life when prescribed
medications did not work, tried marijuana, and now he faces a jury trial in
Volusia County before the Honorable Terence R. Perkins. here
“It is appalling that a man who risked his life to serve our country and protect
our freedoms now has to fight for his freedom because he chose to use medical
marijuana to treat his PTSD. PTSD is a debilitating condition
specifically listed on the new petition, so when this passes dedicated soldiers
such as Mr. Hunter will have the ability to go to their doctor and receive a
recommendation for medical marijuana." Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager with United for Care.
