John Romano: I have discovered a new and spectacular locale that defies belief. It is a place where the economy is bustling, and the problems are inconsequential. People are always smiling, the environment is pristine and no one seems to care about, or need, health insurance of any type. No doubt about it, I want to live in Rick Scott's commercials. here

Rick Scott's failure to create jobs
Rick Scott promised to create 700,000 jobs in 7 years, on top of normal economic growth. He failed to meet that promise -- and is now pretending he never said anything at all.

New poll shows 69% of Florida voters support #2
With 43 days until the election, and only days until early voting starts,
public support for medical marijuana remains very stable:
Our new poll
shows 69% of likely voters in Florida support this measure with only 28%
opposed. 60% voter approval is needed to pass a Constitutional Amendment in the
State of Florida. The findings are significant because they show voter backing
of the amendment has remained virtually unchanged since the beginning of 2013.
Previous polls (conducted by 3 different pollsters) showed support at 70% in
January, 71% in March, and 70% in June.
Here's what's clear:
Keeping medical decisions in the hands of doctors - not politicians -
is simply not a controversial position for the vast majority of Floridians, and
that has not changed over the last twenty-one months.
Opponents of Amendment 2 have been relentlessly pushing disingenuous talking
points, and insulting the intelligence of the voters. They've got millions
behind them - but their uber-wealthy funders won't be able to dislodge support
if we stay strong.

Rick Scott fills a seat on the Florida Public Service Commission with a environmental disaster
Looking to a political ally to fill the job, Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday named state Rep. Jimmy Patronis to a seat on the Florida Public Service Commission.
Every year during the legislative session in Tallahassee, he pushes a bill to destroy Florida's environmental regulations,
Last Year
Bill to block local governments from protecting thousands of acres of wetlands. Which passed
This Year
Bill to block local governments from protecting thousands of acres of wetlands. Which passed
This Year
He has introduced a destructive bill that will prevent local governments from being able to protect their own water supply.
HB 703 not only prohibits local governments from enforcing wetlands, springs or storm water protections – it takes the decision-making powers out of their hands and gives it to Tallahassee politicians.
Frank Matthews, who lobbies on behalf of developers, phosphate miners, boat manufacturers, sugar growers, power companies and a garbage company said

Rick Scott: 4,000 Lies
Rick Scott has lied to you 4,000 times. The press calls it false and misleading. We shouldn't be surprised. Scott pled the fifth 75 times to avoid jail after committing massive Medicare fraud. Fraud then -- fraud now. Rick Scott is just too shady for the Sunshine state.

Bill Nelson: Spoken Like A True Democrat
"Since taking office nearly four years ago, I believe Gov. Rick Scott has been
leading our state in the wrong direction. And now, as a result, I think
we're headed into the ditch. During his time as the state's chief
executive, there's been an assault on Florida's voter laws, there's been a
refusal to expand Medicaid to more than a million people, and there's been a
deregulation of the state's health care industry, allowing rates to go up
unchecked. Just imagine what he'll do if given another four years without
any checks or balances.
We can replace Rick Scott with Charlie Crist." Bill Nelson.
It's nice to see Florida Dems sticking together,unlike our mayor.

"If a public school board is going to allow religious pamphlets and full Bibles to be distributed to students -- as is the case in Orange County, Florida -- we think the responsible thing to do is to ensure that these students are given access to a variety of differing religious opinions, as opposed to standing idly by while one religious voice dominates the discourse and delivers propaganda to youth.” The Satanic Temple’s , Lucien Greaves here
Block the Boat – Tampa
5am 9.20.14 Port Of Tampa info
Palestine is calling us to action! Palestinians laborers, Palestinian General Federation Trade Union (PGFTU), have called on workers around the world to refuse to handle Israel goods. Palestinians throughout Gaza, the West Bank and 1948 Palestine have demonstrated their unity in the struggle against Apartheid Israel and have taken to the streets in the tens of thousands, bravely facing Israeli military armed with US made weapons to call on the international community to stand with them as they resist Zionism throughout all of historic Palestine. We will be answering this call by organizing community pickets at the Port, asking the longshoreman and truckers to honor this request and to stand with the people of Palestine.
