Trans lives matter Tallahassee
“A True Blue Activist” Susan McGrath
Tell AG Bondi: Withdraw Florida from partisan lawsuit attacking immigrants!
Thousands of undocumented immigrant families in Florida will soon have a chance to be a part of the American Dream--but Attorney General Pam Bondi is determined to get in the way.
With Republicans in Congress failing to pass immigration reform, President Obama was forced to act on his own. Now immigrant families will soon have a chance to come forward and register, get permits to work legally and contribute to our system, and finally get a chance to live without the daily fear of deportation.
But rather than embracing immigrants, AG Bondi joined in a partisan lawsuit against the federal government over the President’s program. here

Take Action To Save The Everglades From Big Sugar
It’s time to protect our water by ending the deadlock on Everglades restoration once and for all. What has been called "the most critical piece of land ever for Everglades restoration" could be bought this year, but Big Sugar, who agreed to sell this land to the public in 2010, is trying to run out the clock, hoping you won’t notice.
Sign the petition to the Florida Legislature today and tell them to buy this critical land south of Lake Okeechobee. We can help save the Everglades from Big Sugar and protect Florida’s drinking water all at the same time. here

Support Alan Grayson,s Bill to "Shut Down the Shutdowns
Congressman Alan Grayson is seeking co-sponsors for his bill to "Shut Down the Shutdowns."The bill would automatically extend existing appropriations levels for another fiscal year whenever Congress fails to fund agencies before their money expires.That effectively takes shutdowns off the table. It means obstructionist Republicans would no longer hold our economy hostage to push their political agenda."It changes the default from shutdown to the same budget," Grayson said during an interview with The Washington Post. "I don’t think the founders ever intended us to face one shutdown after another."The current system of governing from crisis to crisis just isn’t working. Rep. Grayson's bill is common sense solution that offers a real fix to the problem. Please join us in supporting it.Sign your name: Support the bill to "Shut Down the Shutdowns" here

Florida's First Family of Corporate Welfare
Most Floridians don't even know who they are. I wish I didn't. You probably haven't heard of them. But you are paying them.
TIME magazine has called them the "First Family of Corporate Welfare"
John Ellis Bush (JEB), Rick Scott, and other GOP politicians kowtow to this family like no other. They were a top donor for W. And they are almost singlehandedly destroying our Everglades. Welcome to Keeping up with the Fanjul family of Palm Beach. here

Rick Scott Doublespeak
Once again, Rick Scott owes George Orwell a debt of gratitude. Without the classic novel “1984” and its primer on political doublespeak, the governor’s State of the State speech this week would have been way more…let’s say transparent, since that’s a word repeatedly and ridiculously run through Scott’s Orwellian propaganda grinder recently. here

Florida Have You Signed The Petition?
The legislative session has started in Tallahassee - which means the clock is
ticking for medical marijuana in Florida.
In less than 60 days,
the legislature will either answer the call of 3.4 million Florida
voters - or they will have put full responsibility for passing
medical marijuana squarely back in the hands of us - United for
Care, you and the rest of our supporters will carry the burden of
fulfilling the will of the majority.
That's a big
responsibility, folks. And we aren't waiting:
We can't afford to.
The more we can collect through volunteer efforts
and online, the more money we'll have to fight the lies our
opposition is surely going to push out from here until election
day.
One of the reasons we fell short last year is because
so much of our money went to gathering petitions; money we could
have spent answering lies on the airwaves.
Tallahassee legislators are watching carefully to see if our intensity has
dropped. The harder we work, the more pressure they'll be under to pass a good,
clean medical marijuana bill that helps people now, not 18 months from
now.
Thank you for your continued support.
- Ben Pollara
P.S. f you've already signed the new petition, please forward
this email to everyone you know!!! If you've already done that, DO
IT AGAIN!!! And if you've already done that, please consider a donation to our petition efforts!
Ybor City going from tobacco to marijuana?
Ybor City: its very foundation is based on taking a plant, rolling it up, and then smoking it.
Of course, that plant was tobacco and for decades, Ybor's prime product was cigars.
But now a group called Common Bond Collaborative is ready to cut in on Ybor's historical tobacco ties with its own smokeable, agricultural product: marijuana. here
