Tampa Looking For Mayor
I make this post with some sadness but it needs to be done. I have to go ahead and officially end this endeavor. I did an interview last night in which I admitted that we are not going to make the ballot to run against Bob in the March 3, 2015 election.

I deeply appreciate all the vocal support and encouragement I've received in response to my campaign. Unfortunately, campaigns don't run on good... intentions and the help I needed with petitions simply never materialized. I must sincerely thank those who did help, and they know who they are,

Pissed Off Florida State Park Fans
Florida GOP Department of Environmental Protection has been proposing major changes in the state park system for over 3 years. — mostly to make money.
"Those beach parks are real cash cows," said
Julie Wraithmell of Audubon Florida
They tried at Honeymoon Island State Park.
That proposal ran into a firestorm of opposition.
A public hearing in Dunedin drew about
1,000 pissed off fans.

Now they want Hillsborough County's Cockroach Bay. Thankfully we have Mariella Smith watching The South Shore.
DEP did not consult with local officials or activists who had already worked on improving Cockroach Bay, said
Mariella Smith of the Sierra Club.
GOP Cought Schmoozing In Boca Raton
A half-dozen potential Republican presidential contenders spent last week peacocking across the sprawling grounds of a pink-hued luxury resort, schmoozing with donors and sizing up the competition in the party’s most fractured field in decades. In contrast, Hillary Rodham Clinton has spent recent weeks basking in the glows of grandmotherhood and applause at a few public events — without any major challenger for the Democratic nod, should she choose
to pursue it. here

Florida GOP Already Looking For Ways To Fuck Tt Up
On November 4th, Florida voters overwhelmingly passed the biggest land and water conservation amendment in U.S. history.
Seventy-five percent of voters passed
Amendment One
Amendment One
Well guess what, The Florida GOP is scamming again.
instead of fully funding the projects that these laws protect, they’re going to rewrite the laws. Did you know since Scott took office, environmental projects have taken a massive, crippling hit. For instance, funding for Florida Forever, the program that buys land to protect water supplies and habitats went from
$300 million to $29 million. here
There’s nothing Republicans hate more than losing the power to control money. Especially losing that power to voters for such an unworthy cause like the environment.

Florida GOP Screwed Us For $6.2 Million Or As Much As $30 Million
A judge ordered the release of hundreds of previously hidden emails that showed how political operatives helped rig congressional and legislative districts to keep the vast majority of them tailored for Republicans.
$6.2 million. That's how much legislators have spent on legal costs, trying to defend their schemes. And the taxpayer tab could be much higher — as much as $30 million. here

We're not stopping the fight for medical marijuana
3,370,761 people - almost 58% voted for medical marijuana in Florida. This total
- half a million more than Gov. Rick Scott and almost 900k more than voted “no”
- is clear proof that the people of Florida want a medical marijuana law. Let's be clear: the ONLY reason medical marijuana didn't pass in November is
because one of the richest men in the world funded over $5 million dollars worth
of false and misleading advertising on TV, Radio and the Internet, and we simply
did not have enough resources to counter the lies with facts in enough time.
Despite being outspent on advertising 3 to 1, we still wound up with one of the highest percentages of support for medical marijuana ever seen in the country.Sadly, it was not enough - but 2016 promises greater turnout, more time to explain what the Amendment does and doesn't do, and a head start of almost 3.4 million supporters.We are going to pass a medical marijuana law in Florida by the end of 2016. It will happen one of two ways: legislative action or another constitutional amendment.
