Charlotte's Web Is A Sham
Politicians who sympathize with Amendment 2 should consider getting on their voters' level and leveling with us with at least half the passion that Rutherford and Bean put into advocating for the failed status quo. Amendment 2 will fail if its advocates continue to relinquish control of the narrative to those political lifers poised to benefit from things staying as they are, the phony Reagan-conservative wannabes who have stolen liberties for decades, under the cover of flag pins and security emergencies. here

Thanks Sen. Nelson
Great news!
Senator Nelson just became the Senate’s latest co-sponsor for SJ Res 19, the
proposed constitutional amendment to fight the corruptive influence of big money
in politics!
It’s
important that Sen. Nelson knows his decision has the support of Floridians like
you. Can you spare a few minutes to call Sen. Nelson’s office and thank
him for joining the fight to undo the damage of decisions like
Citizens United?

With the
addition of Sen. Nelson, SJ Res 19 now has 48 co-sponsors in the Senate!
One name that’s still absent from that growing list? Senator Rubio’s.
That’s why we need you to call Sen. Rubio today and ask why he hasn’t
joined Sen. Nelson in supporting this critical amendment to restore strength and
integrity to our democracy.

Florida Hate Group Leaders
In a decision some called “the beginning of the end” of Florida’s ban on gay marriage, a Monroe County judge ruled Thursday that two Key West bartenders and other gay couples must be allowed to marry. here
Anthony Verdugo, executive director of the Christian Family Coalition of Florida, called the ruling a “corrupt decision,” and a “judicial lynching of nearly 8 million Florida voters” who voted to ban same-sex marriage in 2008. John Stemberger, who led that 2008 campaign, said he would keep fighting. “This is an issue worth dying for,” said Stemberger, president and general counsel of the Florida Family Policy Council in Orlando. “Every domestic partnership, every single civil union, every couple that cohabitates, these arrangements dilute and devalue marriage.”
