“C'mon Fred. I can't only imagine the pain you are feeling over the loss of your daughter, but stop exploiting her death in the name of some political agenda,” Manjarres tweeted at Fred Guttenberg. here
In the Crazy Town political atmosphere we now inhabit, you can get whiplash trying to follow the bouncing slime balls. Or, in this case, tar balls. Because when it comes to bizarre politics, look no further than the Florida coast and the prospect of oil rigs offshore.here

I have not written for the Stogie before and I am excited to do so today!
For my inaugural Stogie posting, I would like to talk about Andrew Gillum. He is the best candidate running for Governor of Florida. He has a progressive platform and was the first major gubernatorial candidate in modern Florida history to endorse full cannabis legalization. Gillum has a solid background in Tallahassee as a trailblazer who won his first significant office at age 23 (an age which I will soon leave behind). He is quite electable, too, with the authenticity to win over more than the average base that will vote blue regardless; Gillum can bring it home for young people, progressives, and communities of color. He can win and be an excellent Governor.
I want to see Hillsborough County public officials endorse Andrew Gillum. Officials across the state from Orlando’s Carlos Smith to South Florida’s Frederica Wilson have done it, but so far as I’ve seen, none from Tampa/Hillsborough have endorsed him.
What about our progressives? What about County Commissioner Pat Kemp? City Councilor Frank Reddick? Former State Representative Ed Narain? State Attorney Andrew Warren? If people stand up and ask our elected politicians to make the endorsement, it will be more likely to happen.
This is why I am running for Soil and Water Conservation - District 3. Not only am I running to encourage more people to run for office but because we are facing a behemoth. That behemoth is Mosaic.
We shouldn't forget that Mosaic is the same company that dumped 215 million gallons of radioactive waste down the Florida Aquifer. This is unacceptable. I am one of the few people currently running that is willing to work with local and statewide organizations to push Mosaic out of Hillsborough County because at the end of the day, water is life.
The DEC has sent out numerous flyers for candidates promoting their events. NONE of their flyers come with the disclaimer that they aren't endorsed by the DEC. I went to one DEC meeting where they even let a candidate put her flyer in the presentation and was projected for all to see.
"So, imagine my anger to see the ONLY flyer to come with a disclaimer of not being endorsed is the flyer of the only black woman in her race. The DEC has been playing favorites from the start and this further proves. The resiliency of a black woman is a remarkable thing though. So I'm sure this won't set Sky back." Jae Pass
"Ione Townsend can you please address this and show examples of all the other candidate's flyers where this same disclaimer is applied?" Beth Eriksen Shoup ----- Updated. Please see comment below.
There are more Democrats than Republicans in Florida, but that hasn’t helped the party win many statewide races over the past quarter century.

Weak Candidates = Low turnout and tepid fundraising

They are meeting in Fort Lauderdale to plan strategy to try to win in November.

Florida Democratic Party Executive Director Juan Penalosa said they did a poor job of turning out voters. That is changing, we have learned from our missteps — we are developing and employing a strategy that is working in 2018.here
