Florida GOP Picking On Rick Scott

Since charging into office some five years ago, Rick Scott has routinely had an awkward relationship with the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature and other GOP officials. Now, Scott is being handed a string of defeats that could render his final 2 ½ years in office nearly irrelevant. here

Florida INC. Patrick Murphy

Last summer, President Barack Obama unveiled his Clean Power Plan, a proposal that would implement new EPA standards for power plants to reduce carbon emissions 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Big business interests and Right Wingers (such as Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi) cheered when the proposal was stayed by the U.S. Supreme Court last month. here When Florida DINO Patrick E. Murphy was asked if he thought the proposal was unfair to industry, Murphy said that there are too many unnecessary regulations imposed on businesses, and touted his co-sponsonship with South Carolina Republican Mick Mulvaney of the Regulatory Improvement Act, which created a commission to review and revise redundant regulations.

Champion for transit!
"Without a primary focus on transit, or at least an attempt at balance, voters won't support a sales tax."
----------
"Tampa Bay needs to move forward with a 21st century transportation plan. We can do way better than what's being proposed. A 1/2 cents tax with 65% for roads is a plan that looks backwards, not forwards."
----------
"We can do better. The proposed sales tax, 1/2 cent (as it now stands) is 65% for roads, 25% for transit and 10% optional transit for 30 years. So contrary to what's repeated like a mantra, that we live in a car culture."

Floridians Defeat The Florida Frackers

Thanks to Floridians like you, communities throughout our state will be able to protect their land and water by banning fracking. Earlier today, the sponsor of the dangerous fracking bill, 
Florida Fracker Garrett Richter withdrew SB 318 from the Senate Appropriations Committee saying 
"I didn't have the votes."
Give yourselves a hand Florida. This didn't happen by accident. Thousands of Floridians from every corner of our state spoke loudly and clearly, putting daily pressure on their elected representatives in the legislature. It worked. here

Remember these guys next time you vote. here

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Is Working For The Other Side

Payday lenders have been gunning for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since the day President Barack Obama tapped Elizabeth Warren to set up the new agency. As the CFPB has moved closer to adopting new rules to shield families from predatory lending, the GOP has assailed the agency from every conceivable angle -- going after its budget, attempting to tie its hands with new layers of red tape and Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would gut the CFPB's forthcoming payday loan regulations. She's also attempting to gin up Democratic support for the legislation on Capitol Hill. here

Florida's New Superhero Jim Lange

Polk and Lake
counties your chance to rid yourselves of your Right Wing Infestation.

Check out this guy:
* He established and runs the Haiti Recovery & Development Co., a nonprofit he created shortly after learning about the devastating earthquake there that killed nearly 300,000 people more than six years ago.
----------
* His stance on immigration, he refers to his American Indian heritage to guide his path (his mother was of Choctaw descent). “Immigration without restrictions didn’t work out very well for us, but as an American at this moment in time in 2016, I am not going to take any stance that says I’m running 12 million people out of the country,” he said. “If we can put a probe on Mars, we can figure out a way to path you to citizenship.”
----------
* He expressed disappointment about Washington lawmakers’ hesitancy to allow Syrian refugees to enter the U.S. PresidentBarack Obama has said he would like to bring in at least 10,000 over the next year, saying he’s confident in the vetting process.
* And,  he supports “common sense reforms” such as removing cannabis from the Controlled Substance act. here
Sound minds in Polk and Lake you gotta vote!
