Tell Citrus County Commissioners: Vote NO on Killing Shelter Pets!
Commissioners in Citrus County plan to vote in a 10-day-only hold-then-kill policy for their county animal shelter! The new bill would let the Citrus County Animal Shelter director decide whether or not to euthanize animals

Shawn Harrison District 63 Want Their Money Back
Mike Reedy, the Democratic running to unseat Republican state Rep. Shawn Harrison in a north Tampa swing district, has seized on an interest message over the Florida House shutting down early this week: You owe taxpayers their money back.
“Shawn Harrison and his gang in the Republican leadership have let us, the taxpayers, down once again. I, along with my fellow citizens of District 63 call for you, Representative Harrison, to return your paycheck. You work for us, not the Republican leadership."

Must See: Alan Grayson On Obama's Fake Trade
Americans are creating tens of millions of jobs in other countries with our purchasing power, and we are losing tens of millions of jobs in our country, because foreigners are not buying as much of our goods and services. What are they doing? They’re buying our assets. So we lose twice. We lose the jobs, and we are moving further toward national bankruptcy. That is the end game. here

Many lawmakers come from safe, gerrymandered districts, and that means they don’t have to listen to anyone outside their leadership. So, with Democrats having only 38 representatives to the 120-member state House, the next logical step was for the GOP to devour itself. here

MCM: Mario (Fredo) Diaz-Balart Blinded By Ideology
President Obama’s attempts at détente with Florida’s southern neighbor Cuba have been well-received throughout the nation and by many in Florida. Approval for the policy change has been wide-ranging and controversy at a minimum. That is unless a zealot has power in some capacity, as Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart currently has in the US House. here
Blinded by ideology to actually claim the Cuban embargo enacted in 1961 unilaterally by the United States

My survey form, Rail is not even an option.
When i asked why, they told me to write it in on the back.
As you can see here Transit routes and bike lanes
are our top priority.
Yet according to this, it is not.
Thank you to this very nice gentleman

Florida Medical Marijuana Campaign Effectively Relaunches Today
Medical marijuana will be on the ballot in 2016 and the voters will pass what the legislature failed to.
The legislative session ended today - and with it the hopes of short term relief
for thousands of sick and suffering patients throughout Florida. The House of
Representatives decided to simply quit work, three days before the end of
session, and with that, medical marijuana legislation is dead in
Tallahassee. The same people who stood up against Amendment 2 last year, many stating that
this was an issue better handled by legislature - simply turned their backs on
patients, and ignored the will of nearly 3.4 million voters. Despite
courageous leadership from Senators and Representatives in both houses and both
parties, Tallahassee has failed us again.
Clearly - the
only way this is going to get fixed is through a constitutional amendment and
our new petition. We have a donor - ready to match
your donation through
the end of May. here
"Today the Florida House of Representatives failed us, yet again. I never had much faith in Tallahassee to do the right thing. But I continue to have tremendous faith in the compassion of the people of Florida to do what the politicians refused to. Today marks the first day of the 2016 campaign for medical marijuana. We will put this issue back before the voters. We will win. Believe!" John Morgan

GO Hillsborough Meeting Today In Temple Terrace
One of our last chances
"Good luck with that," That’s what one Tribune columnist
said about Commissioner Hagan talking about a balanced transportation referendum
for more options.
It’s a dare. Some think we won’t stand up to make sure
we have options.
We need to make it loud an clear to every doubter,
naysayer, and tea party insider that it’s time to work together to create new
transportation options for everyone. This is one of our last chances to
be heard. Come out tonight for just 15 minutes:
Don't let these corporatist Republicans ruin our future.
If you Dems would of voted Pat Kemp would be in office and we would not be dealing with Higginbotham. No one even ran against Hagan.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: The Florida Senate
As the legislative session stumbles to an end, the House and Senate have
succeeded in distorting the will of the people beyond recognition. What these
Republicans leaders have proven -- by failing to enact what the people expressed
through Amendment 1 (that 1/3 of the documentary stamp tax on real estate
transactions to be used to purchase environmentally sensitive lands) -- is that
they are only concerned about their own security. here

Racist At The Econo Lodge in Live Oak, Florida
A group of Flint high school students were wrapping up a college tour in Florida, on their way back to Flint, their bus broke down. They ended up spending the night at the Econo Lodge in Live Oak,
Coordinator Blake Odum says right after dinner, is when the trip took a much different and disturbing tone."It was owned by white people. And they started taking pictures of all the kids as we were walking in and out of the hotel," said student Melissa Blacque. "They were calling us the N word. Odum says things felt so tense that to avoid any trouble, he tried to be proactive by calling police. When police arrived, they told the group to stay in their rooms for the night.
Odum says the officer left him with a chilling message.
"The officer pulled me to the side and said, 'You know, I just want to let you know this area right off the interstate, people aren't too accommodating to you all.' And he said,
'If you know what I mean.'
Dear Flint high school students, we are not all racist in Florida, here we have a saying, the further north you go the further south you are. We don't consider the panhandle part of Florida, it is more like south Georga. visit us in Tampa Bay, we have great schools, (University of Tampa, USF,
St Leo, Stetson University)
and we would never treat you that way.
