Thank You Derrick Brooks
Florida GOP Ana Alliegro
Alliegro is charged with funneling about $80,000 to an unknown Democratic congressional candidate, Justin Lamar Sternad, who was running in the 2012 primary for the chance to challenge GOP incumbent Rivera in Florida's 26th congressional district. Prosecutors say Sternad, a low-paid Miami Beach hotel clerk with no political experience, was a ringer candidate intended to smear Democrat Joe Garcia, who is much better known and ultimately toppled Rivera in the general election. here

Rick Scott threw a party and women weren’t invited
Three years ago today, Gov. Rick Scott actually threw a party at the
Governor’s Mansion to celebrate his commitment to restricting your access to
reproductive health care. Scott and his allies rejoiced over his
signing four anti-women’s health bills into law, including a new law diverting
license plate funds to anti-choice organizations and one requiring ultrasounds
that had been vetoed the previous year by then-Gov. Charlie Crist. here

Republicans Vote to End DACA and Deport DREAMers
GOP House votes to defund DACA and prevent the creation of more DREAMers.
The bill passed will freeze the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and will work towards winding it down. If the bill is made into law, President Obama will not be able to add new children to the program, and those in the program will not be able to renew their status. here

How We Git-R-Done In Rick Scott's Florida
A month after Gov. Rick Scott took a secret hunting trip to the King Ranch in Texas last year, he faced a big decision. A seat had come open on the board that oversees Florida's efforts on the multibillion-dollar project to repair damage to the Everglades caused by agriculture. To fill that position, Scott picked a corporate executive named
Mitchel A. "Mitch" Hutchcraft.
Hutchcraft's major qualification for a seat on the board of South Florida Water Management District: He is the vice president in charge of the King Ranch's Florida agricultural acreage. here

United for Care Responds to Florida Police Chiefs Association Lies
The latest press release from the Florida Police Chiefs Association urging
caution on medical marijuana legalization appears to be a test case in shoddy,
unattributed research, incomplete data, outdated information and the expected
misleading and disingenuous conclusions. The truth is that studies suggest
medical marijuana laws have not led to higher crime rates, increased traffic
fatalities or greater teenage consumption in those states that have adopted
them. here
Florida GOP to blame for health insurance rate hikes
The state is not doing its job to protect consumers from health insurance rate hikes. After passing up billions of dollars from the federal government for the state to expand Medicaid, Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican-controlled Legislature callously enacted a new law that, in essence, prevents the state’s insurance commissioner from regulating health insurance rates. here

Conservatism is always on the wrong side of history
The unbelievably ugly reaction of the right wing to desperate children seeking help at the southern border is just the latest clash of competing views of what
America stands for.
America stands for.
On the one hand, we have “liberal” America in which the richest nation in the history of the world can easily afford to take in and shelter children fleeing the extreme violence of their homelands. An America that was built on immigration. An America that was once known as “The Melting Pot.” An America that would never even contemplate sending a child back to a country where their lives are in immediate danger.
On the other hand, we have “conservative” America in which the richest nation in the history of the world can’t afford one single more child with brown skin no matter how crappy their native country is. here

Angela's Story
Thousands of MoveOn members took an
important action to help children seeking refuge in the United States. Together,
we've raised more than $100,000 to ensure these children have the legal
representation and support they need for the immigration hearings that their
lives may depend on.

Crickets From Pam Bondi's Office
"This is what we hear when utility companies try to cut successful conservation programs and raise our rates. Crickets from Pam Bondi's office. Pam Bondi repeatedly looks the other way when corporations and her big contributors try to rip off Floridians. If big companies want a favor from Bondi, she takes their money then cues the crickets." here

January 6, 2015 - First Day of Fairness
At a press conference today in St. Petersburg, Crist announced that if elected Governor, he will make January 6, 2015 a “First Day of Fairness” by signing five Executive Orders, including an Executive Order to “prohibit any form of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity within the state agencies or its contractors — because all Floridians should be equal in the eyes of the law.” here
