The Lying "Americans for Prosperity": Florida

A group backed by the Koch brothers
(CAN YOU SEE THE EVIL IN THOSE TWO PEOPLES FACES?) 
is arguing a proposed constitutional amendment that would change Florida solar energy regulations will lead the Sunshine State down a dark path. here

Recent solar energy policies in Georgia "have resulted in rate hikes and did not result in solar becoming any more economically viable."
— Americans for Prosperity: Florida on Tuesday, March 10th, 2015 in a news release.

Alan Grayson For Senate

Grayson is one of the party's foremost firebrands, has a history of mounting nasty primary campaigns and has more than a passing interesting in mounting a Senate campaign of his own. And if he does, Democrats are likely headed toward an ugly, intraparty battle—and there's little the establishment could do to stop it. here

Florida Legislature attacks women

The Florida Legislature is in session again and, just like last year, 
extremist politicians 
are trying to interfere in women’s lives.
Two bills that would severely limit Florida women’s access to abortion are already moving through the legislature. One would impose a mandatory waiting period on women seeking an abortion. The other would impose medically unnecessary requirements on any medical clinic that provides abortion care, forcing many clinics to close. here

Must See: The Republican Strategy: Scare Americans To Death

One of the only things that the Republican Party actually excels at is telling the American public WHAT they need to be afraid of. At the heart of all of their messaging is FEAR. The Republican Party needs the American public to be afraid, because they know that fear leads people to make irrational decisions – like voting Republican – so they’ve mastered psychological manipulation and they use it to their advantage.

Florida GOP Ignoring Voter Intent

Both the Florida Senate and the House have released their draft budgets for Amendment 1 spending. Unfortunately, neither of them come close to what voters intended, which is renewed funding for the acquisition of parks and undisturbed natural areas. Instead, both proposed budgets provide millions to cover existing agency operating expenses and other spending that doesn't meet the intent of the voters. This is starting to feel like the Lottery Amendment all over again. here

Not feeling good about Tallahassee

I just got back home after spending the last two days in Tallahassee, lobbying for a medical marijuana bill that a huge majority of Floridians have been asking for.I got some news to share: it ain't looking good!
Despite the voices of 58% of Floridians and our efforts in the legislature, the third week of the session just ended without a hearing in either house.
We need to redouble our efforts to get back on the ballot in 2016

Florida GOP is subverting our will on Amendment 1

Funny thing about the “will of the people” in Florida. Even when expressed via an overwhelming majority “Yes” vote on a constitutional amendment, the Legislature can and does subvert it. 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
