Rally in Tally For Rhana
Rhana Bazzini
better known as Rhana B is 81 years-old. She’s a widow, a mother, and a cancer
survivor. She’s also walking over 300 miles, from Sarasota to
Tallahassee, to raise awareness of the problem of
big money in our elections.
big money in our elections.
Rhana B is
walking in the footsteps of Granny D, the 89 year-old woman who walked across
the country for campaign finance reform in 1999. And next week, Rhana will
complete her epic trek at the State Capitol building in Tallahassee with a rally
to get big money out of politics.
Alan Farago's Great Idea
If you voted, you get a tax credit. If you register a car, you pay a
penalty if you fail to vote. Shut down the stores. Turn off the traffic lights. Declared voting days a national holiday.
I'd favor turning off everyone's electricity on election day UNTIL people vote. Tie it to the phone number on your electric bill.
No Vote, No Light.

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!
