Florida's Culture Of Corruption
Corporations that pollute have been donating to the GOP, to Florida Realtors and to the Florida Chamber of Commerce. In turn those organizations promote and endorse the candidates with the failing voting records on water. Those candidates look the other way while corporations like Big Sugar lobby to weaken water protections. Many politicians like to say they are strong on water but they don't do what it would actually take to keep our waters clean. For example, Rooney has a F voting record on water and he took money from the oil industry. HERE

Overt Fascism And The Fall of Libertarianism
One of the most revealing aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic is the obvious role of government to rescue capitalism and the Corporate State in the U.S. During the presidential election of 2008 which ultimately resulted in Barack Obama as our nation's 44th President, we also witnessed the rise of the pseudo economic system " Libertarianism" by congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul. For Progressives, Socialist, and good government groups, it didn't require much critical thinking to know that a society run by libertarians was a ridiculous notion and was really a Trojan Horse being disseminated by the Charles and David Koch Network to implement a corporate state. Now that the COVID pandemic has made a mockery of this quack economic system, the Koch Network, which pretty much controls the Republican Party today, has a new tactic in the age of social media by rallying online far-right and militia groups to State Capitals to protest laws that might be a threat to the Koch Network's ongoing effort to control the American economy. The reality that Democrats, Democratic Socialist, and Good Goverment orgs. must acknowledge going forward if Democrats start to win back more State Houses is that the Koch Network will continue to message far-right groups via social media to protest, with violence if necessary, any legislative efforts that might re-institute a purely public and comprehensive approach to governance. As witnessed at State Houses around the country, American fascism has arrived and those of us on the left must continue to organize and educate the voting public on how the Federal Government can use it's power to help ordinary citizens and not just corporations and small businesses . As COVID-19 has shown, the Federal Government can to anything as long as there is the political will to do it. It's time the U.S. Government started using its power to help ordinary people not just the politically-connected elite and their industries. But first, like in the 2nd World War, we must defeat fascist. This time it's not European fascism, but fascism from the Koch Network and the NRA and their social media shock troops.

"We have to elect leaders that responsibly use tax-payer dollars to serve our neighbors effectively and efficiently. As our next clerk of the circuit court, I will use my 17 years as a certified financial planner and 8 years as a county commissioner balancing a $4 billion dollar budget to ensure the office takes steps to rein in spending while still providing the services our county deserves."

Words of Tracy Penokie
sad picture for him.
I watched a documentary on him yesterday. Actually trying to give him a chance to see if we really are making him to be the worst, and yepppp. He is! Trump:: An American Dream is a must watch for anyone who supports, or is trying to see the good in this arrogant, and selfish human being.
Here is a list of environmental rules his fuck ass is reversing. Why??? What is the justification for this? What is the justification for him taking away rez land from it's rightful owners? Where is the justification in allowing pipelines to go through rez lands?
This scum bag actually told his first wife, after bearing his children.. He didn't want to be w a woman who has HAD CHILDREN!!! He faked like he was his own PR person at one time What kind of mentality does it take for someone to do that??
I'm done trying to give him a chance. My disgust is warranted for. Everything this man does is motivated by the feeling of power. I can never fuck w that. Yess. Trump IS the piece of shit he's painted out to be. No. That doesn't mean I support the Democratic party or any other politician. It simply means I am completely and utterly disgusted w him."

Sky U. White Sad and Angry
"This story is not only sad but it also makes me angry. I got involved in community organizing after the murder of Trayvon Martin. I also realized that it was the State Atty in that case who chose to delay filing charges against Zimmerman. The State Attorney is an ELECTED position and We MUST get involved in LOCAL ELECTIONS! The impact on black/brown lives at a time when we are pushing for criminal justice reform is immense. Know who your local elected officials are and know where they stand on the issues that directly affect your community!" Sky U. White

Florida GOP continues to block adoption of ERA
Florida lawmakers have not voted on the ERA since 1982, when the House narrowly passed it and the Senate narrowly did not. This year, the Republican-led Legislature refused to hold any hearings on the proposed amendment, although numerous legislators sponsored pro-ERA and equal-pay bills. HERE
