Thank you Rep. Kathy Castor for supporting medical marijuana

The U.S. House voted against allowing Veterans Administration (VA) doctors to discuss and recommend medical marijuana to their patients in states where it is legal. But despite the narrow defeat, Kathy Castor voted the right way! Thank your Representative for voting in favor of veteran access to medical marijuana and tell them to support the CARERS Act. 

The Death Of Conservatism In America

Republicans and conservatives 
have a brand problem.
Republicans are baffled by Hillary Clinton’s persistent lead in the polls despite months of bad publicity. the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Monday showing Clinton ahead of both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio by 6 points, Scott Walker by 10, and Rand Paul by 3.
The New York Times/CBS poll released a day later 
showed what the GOP is up against: 
Only 29 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the Republican Party, 
while 43 percent had a positive view of the Democrats. The survey also documented a steady but little-noticed trend: Americans, by their own self-description, are becoming less conservative. here

The New GOP Budget

Promises to cut domestic agencies and safety net programs like Medicaid and food stamps, carve up transportation spending and student aid, and curb tax breaks for the poor while  leaving tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy, including a proposal to eliminate taxes on multimillion-dollar inheritances..  And $38 billion increase for the Pentagon. here

 Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio voted for it.
Democrats blasted the measure for getting the bulk of its savings from cuts to programs that help the poor and middle class.

Florida Democratic Party ‘Bosses’ Out-Of-Touch

“Florida Democratic voters choose our party nominee, not out-of-touch party bosses sipping cognac in a smoke-filled room in Washington DC.,” Alan Grayson

“Progressives are the heart and soul of the Democratic Party in Florida and across the nation. We are the volunteers who stuff envelopes, knock on doors, and provide the grassroots energy that powers successful Democratic campaigns. The idea that a senator from Montana and Wall Street Democrats know better than rank-and-file Florida Democrats is both patronizing and unsurprising. Then again, no one knows better than Jon Tester that DSCC support 
doesn’t mean a whole lot." Susan Smith
"We will not vote for or support Patrick Murphy." YCS

Florida's Right Wing Infestation

"The problem: Florida’s House of Representatives, with a few exceptions, has been infected and taken over by ideologues. Good people have succumbed to the delusion that it’s not enough to be conservative, but they have to be rock-hard, unwilling-to-bend-or-negotiate, right-wing fanatics." here

Winter Park Police Lack Of Evidence

Earlier this week, an unnamed police officer using a police union Facebook account posted about a restaurant called Miller’s Ale House in Winter Park, Florida. The post asserted that cooks at the restaurant were conspiring to spit in the food of any policeman who ordered from the restaurant.
Just one problem: there’s a compelling lack of something called “evidence.” Since I realize most modern-day police officers are unfamiliar with that term. here

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

Florida GOP Devouring Each Other

Republicans took control of the Florida Legislature 17 years ago and have kept it, despite 
the fact there are about 
500,000 more registered Democrats 
in this state. 
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
