Right Wing Venezuelan Plotted Coup in Florida in 2013
A new YouTube video was released this month showing Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez detailing destabilization plans against President Nicolas Maduro in a meeting with a right-wing exile group in Florida. The meeting between Lopez, leader and founder of the right-wing Popular Will party, and members of the group Politically Persecuted Venezuelans in Exile (VEPPEX), took place October 31, 2013, just three months before opposition members began violent protests in Caracas. here
Lopez is currently facing a trial in Venezuela for inciting violence during the riots in Caracas that left dozens of people dead.

Our Oligarchic Form Of Society
McCutcheon and Citizens United
have
been disastrous for our democracy.
They are allowing the billionaire class to
spend unlimited amounts in elections, and to elect candidates who protect the
interests of the 1% while opposing the needs of everyone else. here
Today’s conservative court, in 5-4 votes, embraces corruption. That has to stop
or this country will rapidly evolve into an oligarchic form of society where
virtually all power rests in a handful of wealthy hands.

Pam Bondi In Pay-To-Look-Away Scandal
The investigation found Bondi flitting around the globe — at posh resorts in Hawaii, California and all sorts of places other than the state she was elected to serve. Gift records examined by The Associated Press found that Bondi had taken more than $51,000 worth of free trips, meals and hotel stays — much of it thanks to corporations that funneled money through the Republican Attorneys General Association. here
The lobbyists got their way. One of the attorneys lobbying Bondi represented online travel companies that were trying to avoid paying certain taxes in Florida. Bondi's predecessor, Bill McCollum, had sued the companies, trying to get the money. But Bondi dropped the matter, saying it wasn't something her office needed to pursue.

Rally At Rep. Kathy Castor's Office In Tampa
Thursday at 12:00 p.m.
4144 N Armenia Ave., Suite 300 Tampa
If you care about the future of this country, join us for a rally and meeting
to ask Representative Kathy Castor to pledge to vote no on Fast Track for the
egregious Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and all other trade bills that should
be debated under the regular legislative process. Fast Track would allow the
President to circumvent our Constitution which states "Congress shall make all
laws respecting trade." Fast Track would allow very little debate on the TPP,
which has been negotiated in total secret, and attacks labor, the environment,
and affordable medicines, among other targets.
Can you join us in Tampa on Thursday?

Florida: Black Bears Need Your Voice
Florida black bears were once forced to the brink of extinction due to over-hunting and habitat loss. These typically shy forest dwellers have only recently started to rebound, thanks in part to a 1994 statewide ban on bear hunting.
Unfortunately, recent incidents involving human-bear conflicts, including cases of humans illegally feeding bears, have led some lawmakers to renew calls to reopen a bear trophy hunt in Florida. This ineffective solution would allow hunters to target bears deep in the woods far from human neighborhoods, who are not bothering anyone. Instead, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission should focus its attention on educating the public on how to avoid conflicts with bears through everyday actions, such as
using bear-proof trash cans.
TAKE ACTION
Please take a moment to send a message below to Gov. Scott and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and ask that they keep Florida black bears protected from trophy hunting. here

Dear Democrats,
Are you listening? President Obama says he hears us. He says that people don’t have a reason to show up to vote if the politicians they have to choose from don’t motivate them. He’s partially right. But that’s only part of a much larger problem. To all you would-be elected officials looking for my generation’s support at the polls, listen closely – get populist or get ready to lose bad. here

Raíces en Tampa To Spotlight Tampa City Council Lying
On October 16, 2014 during a Tampa City Council meeting, Raíces en Tampa attempted to
have the Council vote in favor of supporting driver's
licenses for the undocumented. Joined by supporters and people who would be affected
by this change, Raíces en Tampa hoped the
City of Tampa would be the first city in Florida to publicly support the
movement for licenses. Tampa City Council refused to vote and at one
point even stated they had never seen the resolution. A Raíces
en Tampa member stated off the podium that each of them had indeed seen it, and
reminded them that out of the seven City Council member, six of them had met
with Raíces en Tampa. Mike Suarez lifted his finger to his
mouth signaling the Raíces en Tampa member
to silence herself and continued denying they had met with
Raíces en
Tampa.
This is why Raíces en
Tampa will hold a press conference on
November 10, 2014 starting at 6:00 PM.
