88 Percent Of Florida Voters Support Medical Marijuana
A poll released Monday shows that 88 percent of Florida voters support allowing adults to legally use marijuana for medical purposes, bolstering the arguments of advocates who have placed a constitutional amendment on the November ballot seeking legalization.
The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, indicates widespread support across political and demographic lines --- Republicans and Democrats, men and women, young and old --- for legal medical marijuana......more>

They do drone strikes on people, they kill people, they don’t even know who they are, they kill American citizens without do process.
There’s a mountain of problems with the

The only way to change Tallahassee is
to change the people we send. Rick Scott, Pam Bondi, and the Republican
legislature spent the legislative session waging ideological crusades and short
changing Florida's middle class. It is wrong when we cut taxes for
corporations but don't raise the minimum wage. It is wrong when we get between a
woman and her doctor but don't expand access to Medicaid. And it's wrong when we
spend public dollars on private schools while cutting scholarships for our
students.
We have to change it. But I need your help.

Florida GOP Is Costing Us $50 billion
The U.S. government wanted to give Florida $50 billion in taxpayer money
Money you paid into the system through
income taxes
income taxes
To provide Medicaid to roughly 1 million Floridians who would otherwise go uncovered.
There was zero cost to the state for 10 years, after which we would have to kick in 10 percent.
Instead, Scott and the GOP blocked expansion and turned away the money, not because it was best for Florida, but because it was best for the GOP. Republican state legislators said no to free health care for 1 million Floridians, costing all of us taxpayer money in the end, as well as the associated jobs that would have been created.
And most importantly to most of us, costing lives.

Rick Scott: Cómo se dice "pander"?
Florida Hispanics Beware
Rick Scott campaigned in 2010 on his support for extreme Tea Party Arizona-style anti-immigrant legislation. He vetoed a bill to allow children of undocumented immigrants to get a temporary driver's license. So why is he now "considering" giving in-state tuition to these same young Floridians? Sounds like an awfully convenient election year change of heart as Scott looks to improve his dire standing among
Florida's Latino voters.
