Meet the Latino voters backing Donald Trump


Florida Disaster Scenario 2020

For perhaps the first time in our history, ordinary Americans are worried about whether the world’s oldest democracy can actually pull off a democratic election. 

We asked a bipartisan group of five experts to unspool their own specific disaster scenarios. 

On November 19, a skirmish breaks out in Tallahassee between pro-Biden protesters and armed white-nationalist groups. Several people are killed, and multiple buildings are vandalized or burned. The next day, violence and looting continue all over Florida. Several Molotov cocktails are hurled into the state capitol.

On November 21, GOP governor Ron DeSantis mobilizes Florida National Guard troops to “restore order,” and on November 22, after some prodding from the White House, he formally requests that Trump send military personnel to help law enforcement suppress what he describes as “an insurrection.”

Support Pro Disability Campaigns

Hello friends,
Please consider supporting Kathy Lewis for the Florida State Senate, and Lt. Governor David Zuckerman for Governor of Vermont. Both of these candidates discuss people with disabilities in their platforms. Kathy Lewis needs your help to win. David Zuckerman does, too. State Senator from Vermont, Dick Sears, is also supporting people with disabilities with his bill to provide accessible, commercially available legal cannabis to the people of Vermont. He is running for re-election and needs your help. We need elected officials who will take 
our issues seriously.

In the United States, we have an underfunded, under-enforced ADA, absolutely subpar public transit, non-equitable housing being made worse by gentrification in working class neighborhoods, poor healthcare, and a loophole that allows for sub minimum wage to be paid to disabled workers. People with serious disabilities who are on disability welfare lose their coverage should they get married. Mental health is frequently forgotten about, and can cause unnecessary danger for people — especially people of color — with LEOs (Law enforcement officers). Education is at times a nightmare for people with disabilities seeking accommodations, or for the desperate parents of children with disabilities. People with disabilities across the spectrum are grossly underrepresented in government.

The state of disability rights in the United States is atrocious. We need candidates and officials to put our rights on the forefront, and often times, to represent our respective communities. We need people with physical, mental, neurological, & developmental disabilities to see political figures fighting for them, and representing their communities. We need to see more people like Senator Tammy Duckworth, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and attorney Haley Moss. We need to support more people like candidate Kathy Lewis, Lt. Governor David Zuckerman, 
and Senator Dick Sears.

Please support good, pro disability candidates for public office, and support the Stogie! We are currently banned from posting blog articles on Facebook; please reach out to Facebook and let them know that they made a mistake in censoring the Stogie! Thank you friends.

Stay groovy,
Asher

Ella & Jaeden of St. Pete

MaskUP St. Pete is an inspired collection of gender neutral face mask, designed and produced in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The line was born during the Covid-19 quarantine while Ella & Jaeden were quarantined and watching the pandemics chaos unfold. With so little known about Covid-19, you could observe debate everywhere concerning wearing mask and the following panic over the lack of availability of mask. 
Looking for a solution this brand has since become Ella & Jaeden's passion project and primary focus.

Florida Dems Kathy Lewis Confusion

Most of the confusion about why the state Democratic Senate leadership isn’t championing more challengers converges on Kathy Lewis, a writer and disability-rights activist who ran in a red district in 2018 and came closer to winning than anyone expected, taking 46.5 percent of the vote in this traditionally Republican, rural, urban, and suburban district, even though she was outspent more than 10-1 by a longtime 
GOP incumbent. HERE

Hillsborough County's Over Staffing Myth

Hillsborough County School District Superintendent Addison Davis says some schools are living beyond their means and staffing cuts have to be made. 
---
Teacher and School Board District 3 candidate Jessica Vaughn said when she visits schools she’s seen frustration with understaffing, 
not an excess.
“This over-staffing myth is something that I have yet to see or experience or really understand where that’s coming from,” Vaughn said. Both Stephanie Baxter-Jenkins with the Hillsborough classroom teachers association and Vaughn agreed that the District should look at recent software spending before threatening teaching and support jobs. HERE
---
With just a few months on the job under his belt, Davis has already spent more than $12 million on computer-based learning systems for the district, including a $3.7 million purchase from a company that employs his brother
 as an executive.

Florida GOP Voter Suppression

In 2018, Florida voters agreed by a nearly 2-1 margin that ex-felons who have served their time should be permitted to participate in the political process. They approved a referendum (Amendment 4) 
---
Afraid that ex-felons would disproportionately vote Democratic, the Republican-controlled Florida legislature quickly acted to gut Amendment 4 by enacting a law (Section 0751)
---
 In a split that exactly tracked the party of the President who appointed them, six Republican-appointed judges outvoted four Democratic appointees to uphold Section 0751. HERE

An Accurate Census? Don’t Count on It!

Every ten years the public is reminded, through news reports, commentary, and public service announcements just how important census-inspired statistics are to our economic well being and representative government.
---
Dozens of critical social services, education, and infrastructure programs depend on census-guided federal grants that provide many billions of dollars to states and local areas each year.
