Dear Rep. Wasserman Schultz

The Cuban political dissidents were not forcibly deported and they have NOT been banished from their homeland. Please stop listening to South Florida Cuban-American hardliners who are intentionally misrepresenting the facts daily in a desperate attempt to advance their political agenda. Get the facts, madam, before you misrepresent them yourself. Your colleagues, constituents and the Cuban dissidents themselves deserve nothing less.

Avenge the Gulf

By permanently banning BP and all oil companies from ever drilling in Florida waters. You deserve a vote on amending Florida's constitution to ban oil drilling in state waters in the upcoming election. Unfortunately, during next week's special legislative session on oil drilling, House Speaker Republican Larry Cretul of Ocala could prevent you from getting that chance.

How Facts Backfire

“In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger.”
