Call out Pam Bondi for selling out our justice system!
As Florida’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi has a duty to uphold our laws and justice system with integrity.
But she could not care less. She’s been selling out Florida’s justice system to Washington lobbyists, socializing with attorneys who have corporate clients under state investigation.This behavior is wildly inappropriate – and a clear violation of Florida law.
Add your name: Call on Rick Scott to set up an independent investigation into Bondi’s blatant disregard for the law!

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.

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.
Florida GOP voters are you feeling it yet. We know you guys like to take it deep. Order our free tube of lube, it will make the experience more memorable.

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?
