Not only is the man embarrassing himself as an American, and as a military veteran who supposedly fought for the U.S. principles of freedom and equality, but for an elected leader to spout the kind of anti-Muslim invective constantly streaming from West’s mouth is an embarrassment to our country.
Nicole Brochu, Sun Sentinel Columnist
Be afraid Muslims are coming to get you. I remember the old days when it was The Red Menace.

Orlando Resident Luis Lebron
The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida today announced it filed suit in federal court seeking to halt implementation of Florida’s new law mandating drug testing of applicants to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program without suspicion of drug use.
The suit, filed Tuesday, is on behalf of Luis Lebron, a 35 year-old Orlando resident, Navy veteran and full time University of Central Florida student. Lebron is a single father who applied for temporary assistance in July, 2011, to support his 4 year-old son. He meets all the criteria for assistance but has refused to waive his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure and submit to the newly required drug test.

Rick Scott On Oil Drilling In The Everglades
“The Everglades is a special place where millions of Floridians, tourists, scouting and school groups hike, fish, hunt, kayak and explore. At this point, no energy company has even floated a proposal to drill in the Everglades,” Fordham said. “If there is any thought being given to expanding oil drilling into the Everglades, my suggestion to the Governor is quite simple: Don’t go there. Unless Governor Scott wants to unleash a firestorm of opposition from hunters, fishermen, conservationists and millions of Floridians who depend on the Everglades for their water supply, he should abandon any notion of encouraging drilling in this sacred place.”
Everglades Foundation CEO Kirk Fordham

Pilgrimage to Publix
A group of Florida farmworkers and their allies will spend Labor Day bicycling as part of a journey taking them from one of the state's poorest towns to the headquarters of one of
its most profitable companies in a quest for better working conditions.
On Aug. 27, the members of the
Coalition of Immokalee Workers

Obama, how long can you hold your breath?
I have a question for Mr. Waffles, the president of the United States. "Sir, how long can you hold your breath?" This may be a question people everywhere should be asking themselves. That knowledge could come in handy as we draw in and savor that last lung full of breathable air.

"This, of course, follows the debt limit debacle. Seems like one cave after another. Obama alienates his base and gets no credit from those to whom he caves. Disheartening, isn't it?".....Jeff Tone

Anita Stewart's $300 Campaign
When a friend suggested I run for office as a Green in June of 2009 I thought, “No, definitely not me.” I wanted to serve, but not that way. “Why not?” he asked. “I have no money, no backers, no way to promote myself, not the right resume, not the right hair-do,”
plus a myriad of other reasons that I listed for about five minutes. All excuses.
