No On 2 “It’s a Trick”

Madelyn Butler 
Tampa Obstetrician and Gynecologist  
Dr. Butler states “there is nothing medical about this marijuana.”
Which one is she smoking?
“Dr. Butler is in the minority compared to her peers in the medical profession,The overwhelming majority of physicians polled on this issue over the last few years have expressed their support for the medical use of marijuana.” A poll of 1,446 physicians published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May of 2013 showed that more than 3 out of 4 physicians would recommend the use of medical marijuana to alleviate symptoms

Hillsborough County "HERO" Kevin Beckner

Great job Mr. Beckner
The Human Rights Campaign
" This week Hillsborough County commissioners unanimously passed the Hillsborough Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO). HERO will ensure that no one in Hillsborough County can be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Commission also voted 7 to 0 to move an ordinance creating a countywide domestic partnership registry forward to a public hearing and final vote on October 15 at 2:00pm. Hillsborough County Commissioner Kevin Beckner drove both efforts, and HRC was pleased to offer
 technical assistance." here

Florida GOP Rich Nugent's Warning

Rep. Rich Nugent warned during a local radio interview that the (Border) children were coming from “gang-infested” countries. “These kids have been brought up in a culture of thievery, A culture of murder, of rape. And now we are going to infuse them into the American culture. 
It’s just ludicrous.” here

“I am a Baptist deacon but I faced discrimination, I know no one should face discrimination regardless of who they may be.”Les Miller. The rest of the commissioners agreed, voting 7-0 to expand the Human Rights ordinance to cover sexual orientation and gender identity. here 

Cops Attack Cop Watch

Across the nation, local police departments are responding to organized cop watching patrols by targeting perceived leaders, making arrests, threatening arrests, yanking cameras out of hands and even labeling particular groups "domestic extremist" organizations and part of the sovereign citizens movement - the activities of which the FBI classifies as domestic terrorism. here

Caregivers are NOT drug dealers

The No on 2 Propaganda machine has bought even more air time to tell Floridians that the people who take care of family and friends with serious illnesses and injuries are the equivalent of drug dealers. 
They're lumping caregivers - kind souls that try to help people with Cancer, MS, paralysis, ALS, and epilepsy - into the same bucket as felons, and outright lying 
about what the actual ballot language says. 
We don't have their casino and pharmaceutical money - but we have an army of supporters to help us fight back.
Only 30 days left boys and girls, time to step it up.

Tell Republicans: PROTECT the RIGHT TO VOTE


In states across the nation, Republican Governors and legislatures are making it harder and harder for people to cast a ballot. In our democracy, that is simply unacceptable.

Today we're calling on Republicans everywhere to STOP making it harder for people -- whoever they are, wherever they live -- to vote.

"Say Yes To Rick Scott" Wins

 The most sexist Republican ad of the year. - TIME magazine

Kathy Castor Wants Federal Investigation


To investigate whether nonviolent criminals are being denied civil rights restoration.  
“I believe that in operation Florida is violating the U.S. Constitution’s tenets of due process and equal protection,” the Tampa Democrat wrote in a letter to 
Attorney General Eric Holder.
Gov. Charlie Crist made the restoration process easier but that was reversed in part under Gov. Rick Scott. 
"It is estimated that by this year’s elections, as many as 600,000 people who otherwise could have voted will be absent from Florida's polls," here

Did you know? “Angela Corey has locked up more Black and Latino youth in her jurisdiction than anywhere else in Florida, she is the state attorney who let George Zimmerman off the hook after he murdered Trayvon Martin and she's also responsible for botching the first trial of Michael Dunn.

have no problem going after African American 
Marissa Alexander and trying to increase her sentence to 60 years for harming no one as she defended herself from an abusive husband.

John Morgan Is Pissed Off

I have to tell you, I'm mad as hell.
In the No on 2 folks' latest ad - they go after CAREGIVERS.  They use scare tactics to demonize caregivers - the people who take on the daunting task of caring for their friends and family members who can't care for themselves. Guys like Robert Jordan - who gets busted for taking care of his wife Cathy, with ALS.  Or guys like me - who risked jail to bring relief to his father and brother.
It's offensive, tone-deaf, and yet - they're blasting it out everywhere with millions of dollars behind it.

Join with me and let's show our outrage:
