GOP, Obama Is Not The Guy

Florida's Culture Of Corruption

“scott’s privatization of Medicaid services benefited the bottom line of private HMOs, who spent $2.54 million lobbying, while shortchanging the most needy,” according to a CMD report. “He also signed bills into law requiring every high school student to take online classes, aiding private firms Pearson, K12 Inc., Connections Academy, and Kaplan, which have spent $2.357 million on lobbying in the state.” here

Yes On 2: We're still winning

There's been a lot of poll talk these days. In public polls there's literally a 19% swing between the
highest and lowest.

Here's what I know: Our own internal data currently puts us above the 60% we need to win.

We knew, when a billionaire got into the race and dumped millions on the No on 2 side, that we would take a hit - and we did. But as it turns out - his money didn't go as far as they thought it would. We're still winning.

The only way we keep our lead is to not be outspent in these last weeks. Please contribute today.

I'm not going to be coy about this: This is going to be a close race and we need everyone supportive of Amendment 2 and medical marijuana to come out and vote. We need your help in spreading the word to your friends and families, and helping to explain that what the No on 2 people are saying are scare-tactics
and lies unsupported by the facts.

We Want The Guavaween Parade Back

Again the ever changing Guavaween is back. This year it has a new name.

Guavaween Voodoo Carnival
What does Voodoo have to do with Ybor City? We are not New Orleans.

No more street party. This year you get to go to The Cuban Club. For $20 - $85

But still no parade

The Ybor City Chamber of Commerce is considering licensing its nationally-known Halloween event, Guavaween, to a third party for 2014. "We think it's time for the Chamber to spin-off this unique special event,"

said David Alvarez, Chair of the Ybor City Chamber. here

I wonder how the merchants on 7th Ave feel about The Chamber taking away their business on possibly the best night of the year. We urge to party on 7th and support the folks that are there all year long.

Florida, Rick Scott Thinks You're An Idiot

After Rick Scott's total collapse at Wednesday's debate, his campaign all but confirmed that he's writing himself a check to the tune of $22 million. Rick Scott is personally paying to stuff his Propaganda down Floridians' throats.

John Morgan In Citrus County

(A few nights ago), while another debate across the state focused on a fan, I was on stage in Citrus County fighting for the patients who need medical marijuana.

And when a member of Florida's legislature was clearly having trouble repeating the same, intellectually dishonest talking points of the No on 2 ads, I said,

"You can’t sit up here and make s*** up! That works in Tallahassee but it doesn’t work in Citrus County.”

And with your help it won't. Not in Citrus County, Orange County, Lee County or anywhere in Florida - because Amendment 2 is about the patients and for the people, not the typical, double talking, do-nothing, Tallahassee politicians. They refused to lead. They failed us. But now it's up to us, not them.

Ben tells me we need less than $7,000 to hit our numbers. Based on the amazing response last month, we can do that in a few hours.

There are literally thousands of donors large and small helping to fund this campaign. We need you to join us, or if you've already donated, contribute again. There's no margin for error.

They outspent us 10-to-1 in the last 2 weeks. They're not going to outspend us from here.

Help me move a bunch of people from undecided to the Yes on 2 column. Donate here.

For the people,

John Morgan

Chairman, United for Care
