We celebrate the release of the Cuban 5
political prisoners held by the U.S. government for 16 years. Their freedom also marks a positive change in relations between the U.S. government and Cuba.
The Cuban Five are heroes who came to the U.S.
to stop terrorist attacks against their country.
By secretly joining the most reactionary groups in Florida,
the Cuban Five put their lives at risk in order to stop attacks on Cuba and its socialist system. Freedom for the Cuban Five and the plans to normalize relations with Cuba announced by President Obama are to be applauded.

Marco Rubio is out of touch with reality and on the wrong side of history
Exposing more ordinary Cubans to American visitors, opening up the island's economy and expanding access to the Internet will only bring the public demand for human rights and individual liberty in Cuba more squarely before the Communist regime. here

Tell Marco Rubio: Stop Pushing a Failed Cuba Policy
To Marco Rubio:
"It's been more than 50 years since the Cuban embargo began, and by any measure it has been an utter failure. It is time to move on and try a new approach. Stop pushing a failed Cuba policy." here

Beware Of Hialeah Cop Harold Garzon
If you’re ever in Hialeah, Fla., beware of police officer Harold Garzon. He already has accumulated 16 internal affairs complaints, and over Thanksgiving likely added another one when he pulled over a Harvard graduate and current Florida International University law student for having the NWA’s “Fuck Tha Police” playing in his own car while he was stopped at a red light.

Right Wing Propaganda In Florida Schools
An effort to require students in Florida public schools to watch a controversial documentary by conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza gained ground this week with the support of a state House member. Rep. Neil Combee, a Lakeland Republican, filed a bill seeking to mandate that all eighth- and 11th-grade students view the film America: Imagine the World Without Her. His legislation is identical to a measure filed by Sen. Alan Hays in November. here

Support SB 166: Ban Fracking In Florida
Florida's delicate ecology and vast underground aquifer system are in danger from fracking.
We’re at an important moment in the debate over this critical issue: Sens. Darren Soto (D-Orlando) and Dwight Bullard (D-Miami) have introduced SB 166, a statewide ban on this dangerous threat to our water, our environment, and the health of our communities.
Sign our petition urging legislators to support SB 166 and finally remove the threat of fracking from endangering the Florida we love.
Call Kathy Castor

Republicans are trying to sneak two devastating provisions into the big spending bill that would harm everyday Americans. The worst would put taxpayers on the hook for risky Wall Street gambling. Another would increase tenfold what millionaires and billionaires can give to political parties.
Call Ms. Castor today. These provisions must come out of the bill. Report your call here

MLB Hillsborough County Has No Money For New Stadium
Financially, the Rangers deal was basically about real estate. By getting the city to build them a new stadium, Bush and his partners increased the team’s book value from $83 million to $138 million. This required convincing the city’s taxpayers that they would lose the team if they did not pay up for the stadium. To raise the $191 million it would cost to build the Ballpark at Arlington, residents were asked to add a half cent to what was already one of the nation’s highest sales tax rates. According to attorney Glenn Sodd, W.’s group helped egg along Arlington by leaking a story that Dallas was competing for the team and had offered to build them a stadium. “We found out that this was untrue. Sound familiar?.... more>

Dear Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler
It should never be a crime to care for other people. Please work with your city government to take the anti-homeless food sharing law off the books. Your city must drop the charges against Arnold Abbott, the two ministers arrested with him, and anybody else charged under this law.
Thank you.

Senate Report: US Torture
The Justice Department announce that it will
not prosecute any US officials
implicated.
"The interrogations were "absolutely, totally justified." Dick Cheney
Republican Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war who was tortured in
Vietnam, praised the report's release and said harsh interrogations did little
to make Americans safer.
"Those of us who want to see a safer, more secure world want to see extremism
defeated. We won't succeed if we lose our moral authority." British Prime Minister David Cameron
Check this cool place in the Netherlands, The International Criminal Court. It has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes and it may one day be able to exercise jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. here

Drug Test Florida GOP
Gov. Rick Scott’s callous and condescending plan to drug-test welfare recipients has been demolished by a federal appeals court. Although experts had warned that Florida’s broad drug-testing statute wouldn’t survive a court challenge, Scott and the Republican-led Legislature sanctimoniously charged ahead. Now the state’s clanking legal appeals are costing taxpayers a fortune. here
I’ve offered to pay the cost for each of them to pee in a cup and send it to a lab, yet there’s no enthusiasm in Tallahassee for that proposal.
