Robert Wexler: The Fire Breathing Quitter

The “Fire Breathing Liberal”
Has amnesia or simply misplaced his GPS system. For some strange reason, the very person who quit on District 19 like Sarah Palin did on the people of Alaska, wants to come back to his old stomping grounds. The former Congressman, who cost his district half a million dollars for a special election because he abandoned them and never lived in the district, now wants to come back and tell the people of Florida who they should vote for.
Guess what Robert- We have not forgotten.

Florida Panthers Boxed In

Before widespread development by humans, panthers in Florida were abundant. By the late 1980s, there were only about 20-30 left. A sustainable population is believed to be about 500-1,000, meaning a population that could survive without human intervention. However, so much of Florida’s land has been developed, there isn’t much panther habitat remaining.
