Close GITMO Mr. Jolly

Florida GOP blasted the idea
Pinellas County U.S. Rep. and U.S. Senate candidate David Jolly issued a prepared statement prior to the president’s 10:30 a.m. announcement. “Moving enemy combatants onto United States soil will only embolden the enemies of freedom who wish to do us harm,” Jolly said. “At a time when terrorists and radical extremists are spreading around the world, we must remain steadfast in our resolve to defeat those who wish to attack Americans.  The President should focus on defeating terrorists, not accommodating them.   The stakes are simply too high to jeopardize America’s security and close Gitmo.” here

visit to Cuba." Ileana Ros-Lehtinen

Ed Turanchik: Commissioner Choo-Choo

In the 90's, the small minds around these parts nicknamed
 Ed Turanchik "Commissioner Choo-Choo"
 for his vision of our future.

Today we are being attacked 
by the Florida DOT, 
Our answer to  transportation 
"GO Hillsborough" is a sham.
CSX offered tracks remain trainless.
We have elected people that vote against our wishes and city. 

We are fortunate that Mr. Turanchik's commitment to transportation has continued. With the help of another local visionary Rick Kriseman, we now have ferry service between Tampa and St. Pete. Maybe it's time Mr. Turanchik start wearing that moniker with pride.
Protect Tampa at all cost!
