Citrus County Homeless Shelters
We operate the largest shelter system in Citrus County Florida on the smallest budget. 75 beds were created in less than 15 months , and without a dime to start. Our goal for the remainder of 2011 is to add two more shelters and 90 beds. The three year plan is to wipe out homelessness in Citrus County.

Liberals Make Themselves Heard
Outside the Tea Party debate."It's about jobs. It's about us not having jobs, we want to let the candidates know that it's not about these wedge issues that Republicans use as a distraction, like gay marriage, or why they personally don't like each other. Wedge issues are not going to pay our bills, or send our kids to college."

Tom Brady: Lot Of Time To Get Lubed Up
"Yeah, start drinking early. Get nice and rowdy. 4:15 game, lot of time to get lubed up. Come out here, and cheer for the home team."......Tom Brady
This was an apparent no-no, as the Patriots later issued a statement censoring (clarifying) Brady's comments.

Cubans, Spaniards and the Chinese
Are preparing to put a very controversial hole deep in the Gulf of Mexico.Deeper than the blown-out well that spewed 5 million barrels of crude into the Gulf last summer.
It will puncture the sea floor in Cuban-controlled waters just
60 miles off the Florida Keys,
a protected coastline where offshore drilling is banned under U.S. law.

9/12 And The 'War On Terror'
The events on the morning of September 11, 2001, marked the beginning of what would become a decade of war. So many lives lost, millions of dollars squandered and wasted opportunities. Ten years on many questions remain unanswered. Were the attacks of September 11 a case of blowback, or, as President Bush professed, 'a hatred of Western freedoms'? And why, if the hijackers came from friendly
Gulf countries, did the US launch a war against Iraq?
Was the global 'war on terror' a cynical pretext for neocon policy hawks and the vested interests of the military industrial complex; or a war of necessity against a new type of global enemy?
