Tell President Obama the seismic fight isn't over

The Obama Administration 
made a huge mistake  authorizing the use of deadly seismic blasting of the U.S. East Coast. These blast threaten to injure or kill up to 138,200 marine mammals—including endangered right whales—and devastate coastal communities who depend on tourism, fishing, and coastal recreation. here

What is Rick Scott Hiding?

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

Poor GOP Fools (Tools)

A new poll released Tuesday found that a large majority of Republicans believe they can’t live off of the current federal minimum wage.
69% of Republicans 
surveyed believed that the minimum wage 
is too low to live on. 
only 37% of Republicans 
support actually raising it. here

It's the Liberal media that makes them think this way.

It’s fantastic! The 1 percent pays 80 percent of all taxes. Fifty percent of the population of the U.S. pays no taxes. The 1 percent provides all the jobs for everybody else. If the 1 percent didn’t exist, there would be chaos and the American economy would drop dead. Try being nice to rich people. I don’t remember the last poor person who gave me a job.” here

Funeral services for the Republican Party

Members of United We Dream, Maria Palacios of Tampa and others hold a mock coffin during a protest July 21, 2014 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Activists staged "funeral services for the Republican Party" because "the GOP has embraced radical 
right-wing policies and has actively 
called for the separation of families and 
the deportation of Dreamers." here

Tampa Bay Times Loser Of The Week: Pam Bondi

The attorney general, who immediately appealed a South Florida court ruling overturning 
Florida's same-sex marriage ban,
 is becoming the face of opposition to marriage equality. All signs point to the 
tide of history rolling over Bondi, 
who is up for re-election in November.

Police Union in Florida Files a Complaint Against Corrupt Gov. Rick Scott

James Garner RIP

 April 7, 1928 – July 19, 2014

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?
Sen. Nelson’s office: (202) 224-5274

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.
Sen. Rubio’s office: (202) 224-3041

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.”

Welcome To The New Everglades Walmart

One of the world’s rarest forests, a section of Miami-Dade County’s last intact tracts of endangered pine rockland, is getting a new resident: a Walmart. About 88 acres of rockland, a globally imperiled habitat containing a menagerie of plants, animals and insects found no place else, was sold this month by the University of Miami to a
Palm Beach County developer. here
Environmental protection is next to nonexistent under the Rick Scott administration. The oil industry wants to drill in the Everglades. Even the environmentally unfriendly Jeb Bush was never that bold. Michael Hussey
