WAKE UP LATINOS
“I think people are very upset, and people have really been awakened to the immigration issue where they haven’t been before,Right now at this current time, I would say immigration is the No. 1 issue on people’s minds.” first-term GOP congressman, Scott Perry said. here
It’s funny how they claim that immigration is the number one issue for many people. It’s downright hilarious that they are using the bill they voted on before their August recess to prove to the American voters that they care about working on the issue. The bill would speed up the process to send the migrant children back to their dangerous countries. It would also end Deferred Action for the Dreamers.

Florida's Oath Of Office
"I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend the sugar industry interests of the state of Florida; that I am duly compromised to hold office under the legalized bribes of various vested interests in this state, and I will well and faithfully perform the duties of a compliant shill and will to the best of my abilities follow the hunting laws of the great state of Texas for which I am about to board an airplane for an all-expense-paid trip by agricultural lobbyists to butcher unsuspecting critters, so help me (a lot!) the Republican Party of Florida."

Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, jazz musicians, and entertainers. Their satanic music is driven by marijuana, and marijuana smoking by white women makes them want to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and others. It is a drug that causes insanity, criminality, and death -- the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind. here

Big Utilities Call The Shots In Rick Scott's Florida
In the first quarter of 2001,
Florida ranked No. 4
among the states for its use of renewables, including solar power, to generate electricity.
By the first quarter of 2014,
the state had plummeted to No. 16
in its use of renewables.
How did this happen? The most obvious reason is that big power companies here don't want messy renewables messing up their monopoly gigs. Florida's Public Service Commission, which is supposed to oversee electric utilities in the state, is perceived — on a good day — as incompetent and a puppet of big power companies and state legislators that control PSC nominations and enjoy utility largesse.
