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
set off on a 200-mile bike trek from the southwestern Florida farming community
of Immokalee to the Lakeland headquarters of Publix.

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.
