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
Hillsborough County Corporate Welfare

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
Seminole Heights Fights FDOT and Wins
Seminole Heights is a historic streetcar suburb, three miles north of Downtown Tampa. During the 1990s, still recovering from the dark days of urban America's 1980s, the neighborhood found itself in a fight for its life. FDOT had plans to widen Hillsborough Avenue through the heart of the neighborhood. DOT saw the road as part of a six-lane divided highway with turn lanes running from Pinellas to Polk counties. Their $33.5 million plan to widen Hillsborough Avenue only included the cost of a chain-link in the budget. On the other hand, the historic district's residents envisioned a four-lane boulevard with trees, period streetlights, landscaped medians and brick crosswalks.
Something had to give. Seminole Heights residents convinced FDOT to make concessions by embracing their four-lane boulevard concept. 20 years later, now featuring mature landscaping, this stretch of Hillsborough Avenue shines above the rest of US 92's path through Hillsborough County and the dire traffic congestion predictions have not materialized. here
