St. Pete City Council Member Steve Kornell

"In the Congo armed militias use rape as a tool of war. Militias are funded by the proceeds from minerals that are mined there. These minerals are used in cell phones, laptop computers and other consumer electronics. Today, in committee we passed a policy that will allow us to consider the use of minerals from the Congo in our purchasing decisions. It passed to the full council by a 3-1 vote. If passed, St. Petersburg will be the first municipality in the U.S. with such a policy."

Please send a very simple email of support right now -- as in "To All Council Members: Please vote for the conflict minerals resolution" -- to council@stpete.org. Or, if you want to speak on the record, get to city hall -- 175 5th St. N, St. Pete -- by 2:30pm on Thurs,

Citrus County Homeless Shelters

Our Residents

We operate the largest shelter system in Citrus County Florida on the smallest budget. 75 beds were created in less than 15 months , and without a dime to start. Our goal for the remainder of 2011 is to add two more shelters and 90 beds. The three year plan is to wipe out homelessness in Citrus County.

Liberals Make Themselves Heard

Outside the Tea Party debate.

"It's about jobs. It's about us not having jobs, we want to let the candidates know that it's not about these wedge issues that Republicans use as a distraction, like gay marriage, or why they personally don't like each other. Wedge issues are not going to pay our bills, or send our kids to college."
