Disgusting Subhuman Jason Falbo Of Palm Beach
Pointed his riding lawnmower towards a family of ducks and ran over them, the heartless man then turned around and ran over the ducklings again, while laughing and giggling about it. He was booked and charged with nine counts of animal neglect. He could not provide any explanation for his actions.
Please sign the petition and urge the authorities to impose the maximum penalty available by law in this case. here

Florida's orgy of incompetence and waste
We have House Republicans who want nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act — and who are willing to raid state reserves to make ends meet.
We have Scott who
has sued the federal government and has enlisted a high-powered attorney, Paul Clement, who has made headlines for charging clients as much as $1,100 an hour. (More than some uninsured Floridians make in an entire paycheck. State officials confirmed Tuesday that taxpayers will be footing Clement's bills. here

Local Treasure Marisol Marquez Of Raíces en Tampa
Growing up, before walking into class, I'd scrub my hands with soap and water to try to take off the green-tint, caused by cutting asparagus. Every morning, from February to July starting at 2 am - 6am I'd work the fields before school started. If I didn't scrub my hands raw, my school papers would turn green. here

Polk County Sheriff and part-time pastor Grady Judd delivered a guest sermon at First Baptist Church on the Mall last month — it was called “Wouldn’t the World be Better if Everyone Behaved Like a Christian” — and he didn’t do it as a private citizen. He delivered it while wearing his sheriff uniform, suggesting that he was speaking

Florida Taxpayers Taking It Deep
Florida GOP Senate President Andy Gardiner is telling state senators that taxpayers will pay their legal bills as part of an ongoing lawsuit over state senate districts.
The trial over the senate districts is scheduled for September. The groups contend the districts approved in 2012 violate a voter-approved amendment that says districts cannot be drawn to benefit incumbents or a particular party.
The GOP-controlled Florida Legislature since 2012 has already spent millions defending congressional and legislative maps. here

Call Mayor Buckhorn Tomorrow
6am - 5pm
813.274.6251
The Tampa Police Department's current approach of "proactive" policing victimizes far too many in the Bay Area's Black community. We can most specifically see this manifested in the biking citation and arrest disparities. We are calling for an immediate end to the Bike citation program and an expansion in the current Department of Justice investigation to review the po...licing policies, practices,and arrest in Tampa.
Call Mayor Buckhorn and tell him,
"As a citizen in this city, I demand that there be an immediate end to the Bike citation program that disproportionately affects black people in this city. I also call for an immediate expansion of the DOJs investigation to include all arrest and policing practices in Tampa". The new chief has said he will continue this practice.
They are getting in trouble for things we all did as kids. Mayor Bob, Jane Castor and Chief Eric Ward we will never let you forget this.
You all should be ASHAMED!

Liberals Win: Don't Mess With Elizabeth Warren
Senate Democrats dealt President Barack Obama a stinging setback on trade blocking efforts to begin a full-blown debate on his initiatives. Several Democrats said Obama erred by
pointedly criticizing a leading Democratic foe on trade, Sen. Elizabeth Warren
of Massachusetts, in an interview with Yahoo News. These Democrats said they
bristled when Obama suggested Warren was poorly informed and politically
motivated. Democratic senators said they also are tired of seeing the Democratic
president cozy up to Republicans on trade. here
Great job Democrats!
