End The War On Drugs
Since the declaration of a "war on drugs" 40 years ago:•America has spent at least $1 trillion on the drug war. It cost U.S. taxpayers at least $51 billion in 2009 at the state and federal level. That’s $169 for every man, woman and child in America – and that’s not counting opportunity costs or costs at the local level.
•Millions of people have been incarcerated for low-level drug law violations, resulting in drastic racial disparities in the prison system.
•More than 1 of every 100 American adults is behind bars. In 1980, the total U.S. prison and jail population was about 500,000 – today, it is more than 2.3 million.

Terrorist Orlando Bosch Is Dead
“As many critics have pointed, out, terrorism is not an enemy. It is a tactic. Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics, the slogans of today’s war on terrorism merely makes the United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world.”.....Professor William Odom, formerly President Reagan’s NSA Director
More Drilling In The Gulf Of Mexico
Answering the call of Republicans and Democrats from Gulf Coast states, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that he would extend all Gulf leases that were affected by a temporary moratorium on drilling imposed after last year's BP oil spill.Cuban Seals for Florida?
The debate continues: Was the killing of Osama bin Laden justified? Perhaps a rather useless debate since he is now most certainly dead. But despite their distance in time and space some flashbacks insist on recurring. I for example still think about that Cuban plane which exploded on October 6th 1976 in the Caribbean, killing the 5 crew members and all 73 passengers, including the entire champion fencing team of Cuba. All four men directly responsible for this horror had ties to the CIA which, it was later revealed, knew of the bombing in advance.So wouldn’t the arguments being trotted out to justify the US raid in Abbottabad mean Cuba would have been justified (or would still be justified today) in “taking out” the organizers of the plane bombing, Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch Avila, by sending in a Cuban equivalent of SEAL Team 6? The two were never holed up in some cave or secret mansion but have been enjoying care-free lives in Florida, with court decisions preventing their extradition to Venezuela, where they were once sentenced, or to Cuba where, it was claimed, they “might be tortured.”
Posada Carriles, after being acquitted of minor pass violations, is completely free. Bosch, referred to years ago by a US expert as “one of the deadliest terrorists in the hemisphere,” was officially amnestied years ago by – guess who – President George H.W. Bush, who just happened to be CIA-Director at the time of the plane bombing.

Brandon Community Advantage Center?
State Rep. Rachel Burgin is calling for changes and an apology from the nonprofit agency that runs The Regent, a facility built with public money that was supposed to serve as a community center but that she says is being run more like a country club. The board running the $7 million edifice on Watson Road has turned its back on the people they are supposed to serve.more
A local Boy Scout troop was asked for $700 to hold a two-hour event on a Tuesday, a women's counseling group was told it would cost $3,000 to use the building for a few hours.

Nothing But A Scam
Looking at our local paper 'Cellmates" i notice most of the folks in it are there for minor drug offences or for violation of probation, probably from a previous drug offence. Legalise drugs now, empty the prisons and stop this madness.

Another ‘Awake the State’ Rally Planned
You’re not alone. Since Awake The State’s first major protest almost two months ago, Floridians have taken to the streets in a historic level of civic activism. Gov. Scott and his allies in the Legislature are hoping that despite their presiding over the most anti-middle class legislative session in Florida history, you’ll somehow just go away. It’s time to prove them wrong.info
