Tampa: Truth-telling and the School-to-Prison-Pipeline
As tax-payer funded entities, Florida’s public school districts are bound by the state’s Sunshine Laws, which mandate that accurate information be gathered, recorded, and made available to the public. Yet, school districts often rely on obscuring, distorting, and sugar-coating information, resulting in misinformation, propaganda, and partial-truths.

It will be on the November 2014 ballot!
The campaign collected more than 685,000
valid signatures from

This amendment to Florida's Constitution, if
passed by voters in November, would ensure the allocation of a portion of our
state budget to fund conservation that forever protects Florida’s remaining
natural treasures. We're one big step closer to making that

Thanks for all you do to move Florida forward,
and ensure that the state we love is preserved for future generations of
Floridians. For

Bubba the Love Sponge And Mayor Bob
The Jackson House in downtown Tampa
Bubba's charity planned to buy the home, restore it, and use some of the
rooms to offer free legal advice to minorities. But Bubba said Mayor Bob imposed 11th-hour deadlines and expectations for restoring the home that were impossible to meet. He claims it is a personal vendetta against him because of the mayor's close relationship with his radio rival, Todd "MJ" Schnitt. Mayor Bob said that is malarkey.
"I don't listen to his show, I don't know the guy, I don't know anybody who's credible who listens to his show, so I don't know how he can make this out to be a personal vendetta.".......more>

Ralph Nader's Letter To George W. Bush
At this time of the year, it is not unusual to receive various mailings from nonprofit organizations looking for crucial end-of-the-year donations. You can imagine my surprise when I received a request from a certain notorious former President of the United States asking for my financial support in his public policy center's efforts to address the "challenges facing our world." My response to this solicitation.

Liberal New High In 2013
A recent Gallup poll now showing the numbers of Americans who self-identify as “liberal” are both growing and at higher rates than they’ve been in twenty years, the party of “no” and philosophies of greed may be facing an impending curtain call, in the face of the growing inequality which is shaping up to be the defining legacy of America’s long and costly experiment with conservative pro-corporate policies.......more>
