Why Rick Scott was the most unpopular governor in the country

This is who we're up against -- Rick Scott, a man who...
  • Turned down $2.4 billion in federal money for high speed rail
  • Refused to expand Medicaid, leaving one million people without the health care they need
  • Cut K-12 education by $1.3 billion -- and slashed the number of Bright Futures scholarships in half
  • Heartlessly returned a rescue dog!
  • Sent five men out to call equal pay for women "dangerous"
  • Doesn't support raising the minimum wage
  • Won't take responsibility for his government's fight against marriage equality
  • Vetoed funding for 30 rape crisis centers
  • Actively tried to make it harder for people to vote
  • Plundered the Everglades and Florida's natural resources to benefit his biggest donors
  • Hid his travel, communication, and schedule from the public to conduct shady deals
  • Jacked up your utility rates and property insurance
  • Re-installed barriers to restoration of rights
  • Is adamantly anti-choice and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade
  • Wants to take us back to the days when insurance companies could deny you coverage just for being sick
  • Has a blind trust run by a close family friend that he checks in on regularly
  • Created only 4 percent of the jobs he promised -- and most of those are for the wealthy and his powerful businesses associates
  • Vote Florida and help Charlie out.

King County Sheriff John Urquhart, Marijuana Is Working In Washington

King County Sheriff, John Urquhart, from Seattle shares how the new approach to marijuana is working in Washington. Taxes are going to schools and police, not drug cartels, wasteful arrests are down, DUIs are down, and drug prevention programs are getting funding. It's already better in Washington State.

United for Care Sends Cease and Desist Letter Regarding No on 2 Campaign’s False TV Advertisement

United for Care, the largest organization advocating for Amendment 2 on Florida’s November ballot, sent a cease and desist letter to all of the television stations broadcasting the latest ad produced by the No on 2 campaign entitled “It’s Nuts.” In the :30 second spot, multiple speakers take turns laying out untruthful and illegitimate claims designed to discourage Floridians from voting for the amendment, which would only allow for the medical use of marijuana by patients with debilitating diseases and medical conditions.

Florida Cops Rake in Cash Busting Marijuana



The most visible opponents of medical marijuana beyond the Drug Free Florida ads are the Florida Sheriffs Association, a law enforcement group run by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, who uses Reefer Madness-esque rhetoric to claim marijuana will ruin society. "I see the guy that's up all night with a baby that's screaming, so he smokes him a blunt and a half and he thinks that'll help and ends up bouncing the baby off the walls," Judd said at an anti-pot press conference earlier this summer.
Though recent evidence suggests that marijuana liberalization actually reduces violent crime, law enforcement has its own motives. In an investigation published last month in The Nation magazine, I noted that marijuana busts have become a huge revenue source for police, which influences their political opposition to drug reform. In Minnesota and other states, police lobbyists have privately told legislators that relaxing marijuana laws could cost them financially. here

A blunt and a half, bouncing babies off walls, Mr. Judd? You are a funny guy.
