Protect Florida Panthers from Big Oil
Florida panthers number barely over 100
In the wild and can't afford unnecessary, new threats.
Yet, the state of Florida
has issued a permit for the construction of a new oil
and gas waste disposal well in prime habitat for the
endangered Florida panther. This well would be place
less than a mile from the
Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge.

Conservatives More Likely To Be Psychopaths
Came under fire when he showcased his theory in another paper. Now he has returned with even more data which, he insists, shows that socially conservative views are statistically linked to three anti-social personality traits:
Machiavellianism (deception)
Narcissism (overinflated sense of self-worth)
and Psychopathy (absence of guilt or remorse).

Perry Thurston for Florida Attorney General
FOR ALL FLORIDIANS
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.
