Steve Galvin's Robo Calls
His recorded call to voters attacking opponent Amy Foster in the District 8 race masquerades as a look at her record of public service. It is really a smear campaign against Foster, who is gay. The city has come too far in embracing and respecting residents regardless of sexual orientation to fall for such divisive baiting......more

Florida GOP Leaders Back Cruz
While the government is shutdown hundreds of top state Republican Party donors and officials celebrated their party’s political success at a party in Disney World last week. The party is sending letters of support to Cruz and others in Congress who backed him. Hard-core party activists in the crowd weren’t worried about the shutdown, Jorge Bonilla, who hopes to run in 2014 against liberal bad-ass Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando, called the shutdown “regrettable” and “an unfortunate failure of leadership,” which of course he blames on the Democratic-controlled Senate and
President Barack Obama........more
Florida Republican Ted Yoho
part of the faction who forced John Boehner to trigger the government shutdown and now wants to move along to default on the national debt. How bad will default be? "I think, personally, it would bring stability to the world markets,"

WEDU - Tampa Bay: Air Citizen Koch!
I'm Linda Michel
White, and I live not far from you. I started a petition on MoveOn.org urging
our local public television station, WEDU 3, to ensure that the documentary
"Citizen Koch"—which exposes the billionare Koch Brothers who helped launch the
Tea Party—gets shown to the public.Now that Tea Party
Republicans have shut down the government, it's more important than ever that we
expose the Tea Party and its funders. We need "Citizen Koch" on the air in Tampa.
will you sign the petition I created urging WEDU 3 to take action?

Tampa Tribune Mainstreams Islamophobic, Anti-LGBT Florida Family Association
The Tampa Tribune published an article on the Florida Family Association's (FFA) campaign against the cable news network Al Jazeera America, failing to note the FFA's fringe Islamophobic and anti-LGBT views. Al Jazeera America's journalism has been lauded by media critics, but the network's recent launch triggered a wave of right-wing, Islamophobic backlash. Most notorious among Al Jazeera America's critics is David Caton, head of the FFA, who has launched a crusade to stop corporations from advertising on what he describes as the radical Islamist network.
In a September 22 article, the Tribune reported on Caton and the FFA's campaign: here
