Tuition Equity At USF
All Bulls Are Equal
In the state of Florida, thousands of young people are denied access to higher education because they are forced to pay out of state tuition, despite meeting the requirements for in-state tuition. Ask the USF Board of Trustees and administration to change this, joining FIU and states across the country in granting tuition equity at USF.......here

A married man has an affair with his secretary. He likes it so much he wants to keep her on as his mistress, they even have a child together while he is still married. The wife tells him no and she wants a divorce. Then he has no further contact with the children from that marriage after 1986. Less than a year later, he was awarded the Family and Freedom Award from the
Christian Voice, the nation's largest conservative religious lobby.
He received the award because of

A New Breed Of Cuban-American
For more than two decades, running for Congress in this sun-soaked capital of
Cuban exiles has required two things: a Republican registration card and a hard
line toward the Castro regime. And then came Joe Garcia
In a break with the exile community, Garcia campaigned in support of loosening restrictions on Cuban-Americans who want to visit relatives on the island or send them money. Since taking office, he has pushed for U.S. trials of a Cuba-developed diabetes treatment and for easing travel rules for Cuban diplomats who visit the U.S. And while Florida Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio, fumed when President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro last month, Garcia dismissed it as a simple courtesy.

Stop Fracking In Florida: Hydraulic Fracturing In Naples
Oil Drilling Truck Convoy headed for Naples
One of the newest controversies in the field of oil and gas extraction is playing out in South Florida, just outside of the City of Naples. While there has been history of oil and gas development, both on- and off-shore in Florida since the 1940s, the risks of fracturing rock to extract hydrocarbons more than 10,000 feet below the surface, has been gaining much attention recently.......more>

Tampa's Abelardo Arteaga
There was a time when his neighbors celebrated the support Abelardo Arteaga gave to the Cuba of the Castro brothers. Fifty-five years ago this Jan. 1, Cubans in Ybor City and West Tampa danced in the street when the Cuban revolution declared victory. Much has changed since that day in 1959. Yet through it all, Arteaga, a Tampa native, has never wavered in his support of the island nation. At 91, Arteaga is the elder statesman among those in Tampa who would eliminate the trade and travel embargo imposed by the U.S. He has challenged it from the beginning.......more>

Who is Allen West?
While serving in Iraq, West had his soldiers arrest an Iraqi
police officer, and beat the living daylights out of him. Then, for good
measure, West took out his own gun, and shot it right next to the Iraqi police
officer's ear. West was convicted of violating the Military Code of Conduct,
fined $5000, and ushered out of the U.S. Army.
West somehow parlayed that experience into a seat in Congress, proving that there is fine, fine line between fame and infamy. During West's one term in Congress, he:

Denounced Democrats as "chicken men, said that "about 78 to 81, Democratic
Congressman are "members of the Communist Party," characterized Obama supporters as "a
threat to the gene pool," called Rep. Keith Ellison the "antithesis
of the principles upon which this country was established" simply because Ellison is Muslim, and called Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the
head of the Democratic National Committee, "the most vile, unprofessional, and
despicable member of the US House of Representatives."
