Banished! - Florida's Paedophile Village

In Rick Scott's Florida

Rick Scott was a stranger to Floridians. 
Then he spent $73 million and rode n angry voter wave to the Governor's Mansion. 
For Florida, this has been a hostile takeover by the former CEO of the nation's 
largest hospital chain. In three years 
Scott has done more harm than any modern governor, from voting rights to privacy rights, public schools to higher education, environmental protection to health care. 
One more legislative session and a $100 million re-election campaign will not undo the damage.
This is the tin man as governor, a chief executive who shows no heartfelt connection to the state, appreciation for its values 
or compassion for its residents. Scott, moved to Naples just seven years before running for governor, he treats Florida like another faceless corporate acquisition to be 
dismantled and repackaged. 
In Scott's Florida, it is harder for citizens to vote and for the jobless to collect unemployment. It is easier for renters to be evicted and for borrowers to be charged high interest rates on short-term loans. It is harder for patients to win claims against doctors who hurt them and for consumers to get fair treatment from car dealers who deceive them. It is easier for businesses to avoid paying taxes, building roads and repairing environmental damage


Mario Hernandez was sworn in as a U.S. citizen!

A Click Of Your Mouse Can Make A Difference 
Thanks to the nearly 90,000 people who signed my petition on Change.org to naturalize 
Mario Hernandez, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services got the message and not only approved his naturalization, 
they also apologized for the delay! 
I hope that Mario's victory today reinforces the notion that when we act together, we can do great things. 
We couldn't have done this without you!
Thank you, 
Bonita Hernandez

Florida can lead the nation, 
and feed the nation
with non-GMO and organic foods and livestock and poultry grown by Floridians 
earning a living wage. 
We can process this food and sell it all over America, and even export to other countries.

Hate Truly Is Stronger Than Compassion InThe GOP

And it is costing the party their logic, reason and good business sense. 
When you turn down health care for millions of citizens, billions of dollars and job creation out of spite, you are not representing the best interests of your constituents.
In Florida, the healthcare company Columbia/HCA, was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud while Rick Scott, prior to being governor, was CEO. Now Scott doesn't want to let Florida's citizens receive the benefits from the Medicaid expansion. Florida will lose $5 billion.

Tampa Candidate's Photo Cuts Buckhorn From His Own Portrait

Is City Council candidate
Jackie Toledo 
using a campaign photo that
superimposes her own image on
Mayor Bob Buckhorn's
official city portrait?
It looks that way, say five  photography  experts who examined both photos.
Mayor Bob is not happy. Toledo's photo could mislead voters into thinking she has an endorsement he hasn't given.
"I knew I would be a lame duck someday, but I didn't think people would be Photoshopping me out of my own picture," he said. here
Are the pics of her with Iorio and Montelione 
also fake?
