Asher’s Hot Take on Rep. Susan Valdes

Hello Tampa friends,

With all the controversy surrounding the slew of endorsements for State Representative Susan Valdes’ re-election campaign, I will share my perspective on this issue. I first met Susan when I entered the world of local politics as a young nineteen year old forming a countywide campaign for School Board. She took the time to meet with me and discuss my ambitions—I was thankful for the experience as she was among the first locally elected officials I had ever met in person. I appreciated her vote to oust the former Superintendent Elia, and to help ensure student nutrition saw its due with a kitchen to help train cafeteria staff.

I like Susan; though I do not agree with her support and stance on privatization of education. To divert funds from public to private schools is unacceptable. I support school choice, especially in the case where parents need more support for their children with disabilities, or religious preference. Let them choose; do not hurt public education in the process!

I hope that Susan evolves on these issues and presents a comprehensive case to remain in the Florida State House of Representatives. That being said, I know that public school supporter Laurie Rodriguez is going to present a primary challenge, and I believe that will be a net positive for the election. I say stick to the issues, and I would like to see a productive conversation regarding what is best for public education and other issues. I am not prepared to endorse anyone for this race, and others—though I can say I support my friends Councilor Orlando Gudes, Commissioner Pat Kemp, and others in their right to make endorsements without supporting slashes to public education. Perhaps those who have endorsed Susan will be willing to pressure her to evolve on the issue of privatization. I hope so!

Stay groovy,
— Asher

Republicans versus Reality - Matt Gaetz lies about Ukraine scandal

Matt Gaetz tells one lie after another in Congress to protect Donald Trump from impeachment. The evidence is clear that Trump broke the law, but that never stopped a good Republican lap dog from protecting his dear leader. Facts don't matter to people like Gaetz. Only winning for your side matters.

How Corporate Democrats Screwed All Of Us In 2016

If your main priority is defeating Trump, #BernieSanders is the man to nominate. If it's to transform this country into one that works for everyone, not just the 1%, he's even more the man to nominate. He was the one in 2016, and look how 
the DNC screwed all of us

Trump Flees To Florida To Avoid Taxes!

Florida GOP Has No Shame

Volusia County’s “Complete Count” committee is warning residents that a Republican fundraising mailer that mimics the look of a U.S. Census form is 
not the real thing.
---
The Republican National Committee mailed the “2019 Congressional District Census” forms to local residents that resemble census form — but with some distinctions. The Republican form asks if the recipient will support Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. It also asks if recipients believe the Democrats are “promoting a Big-Government Socialist agenda for America.” They also ask for a credit card number, and a donation. HERE
