FL SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA PETITION
On Thursday, December 17th, 2015 the Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of theUse of Marijuana for Debilitating Medical Conditions petition. The final hurdle to making the 2016 ballot will be gathering enough valid signatures- 683,149. At the time of the Supreme Court ruling, 400,032 petitions had been validated. With 900,000 gathered, United for Care is confident they will garner enough valid signatures to make the 2016 ballot.
This ruling comes as no surprise to United for Care, the organization spearheading the effort to make the 2016 ballot.
Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager, said, "The unanimous decision by the Florida Supreme Court to approve the new medical marijuana constitutional amendment is a huge victory for hundreds of thousands of sick and suffering Floridians who could benefit from the passage of such a law. While we still must collect the required number of petitions before officially being placed on the 2016 ballot, we are confident that we will and that Florida voters will approve this amendment in the general election. In 2014, four of seven Supreme Court justices approved our ballot language and 58% of Floridians voted "yes"; this time, all seven justices approved our language and we feel strongly that well over the required 60% of Floridians will vote "yes" for a comprehensive and compassionate medical marijuana law."
United for Care's chairman, John Morgan, stated,
"This is a huge victory for Florida. We will win next November.
Compassion is coming!"
Compassion is coming!"

Marco Rubio Blames American People For Immigration Reform Failure
During the December 15 Republican presidential debate, Sen. Marco Rubio again backed away from his support of comprehensive immigration reform in 2013, saying his opinion changed with that of the American people. However, polling data suggests that Americans consistently favored comprehensive immigration reform, the Republican Party sabotaged immigration reform, and Rubio faced extreme backlash from right-wing media causing him to change his position. here

"He should start with Cuban immigration reform, people from other places
(Central America, Middle East) are a lot worst off then those fleeing Cuba,
yet Cubans get a free pass." YCS
A Few Words From Alan Grayson
"War— what is it good for? We’ve been asking ourselves this question since Edwin Starr first belted it out in 1970. I can tell you what it’s good for-- padding the pockets of defense contractors and a certain former Vice President who shall remain nameless. I can tell you what it isn’t good for-- peace, the majority of Americans, and our economy. When the rich decide to go to war, it’s the poor and middle class who end up paying for it, with both their money and their lives. Personally, I’m a firm believer that we shouldn’t sacrifice human lives so that a few defense contractors can make big bucks off of making bombs." Alan Grayson

Florida's Charter School Ripoff
Charter schools, which are public schools run by private groups, have received more than $760 million from state taxpayers since 2000 according to an Associated Press analysis of state Department of Education records. Schools can use the money for construction costs, rent payments, buses and even property insurance.
Yet charter schools in 30 districts have wound up closing after receiving as much as $70 million combined in such funding. here

If we remember correctly they built The Tampa Bypass Canal

So why now do we have to take the water from The Morris Bridge Sink?

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R-of course) has once again demonstrated just how much he doesn't care if people—children, even—suffer and die in ways that are totally preventable on his watch. An investigation by the Miami Herald has uncovered how the state gutted its Children's Medical Services, a program designed to help chronically ill and disabled poor children. here

Rick Scott's Florida Voter Suppression
When Republican Rick Scott took office in 2011, he immediately rolled back a policy of his predecessor, Charlie Crist, who automatically restored the rights of many felony offenders who had completed their sentences. Scott introduced new rules requiring that people convicted of nonviolent felonies wait five years before they can apply to have their civil rights restored; those convicted of violent and certain more serious felonies must wait seven years to apply. Under Crist, tens of thousands of felons, on average, won back their right to vote each year. So far, Gov. Scott has restored the rights of just 1,866. here

For Our Blue Pill Friends
There are none so blind as those who will not look. If you are one of those who will look, take a look around. You are surrounded -- surrounded by millions who will not look. These are the blue pill people. Who are these blue pill people and why won't they look?
“The Matrix” may be only a movie, but it presents some scenarios with much relevance to our current situation. In the movie, Neo meets Morpheus and is offered an opportunity and a choice. Neo can take the red pill and see the truth for himself, or he can take the blue pill and return, comfortably unaware, to the illusion of the Matrix. There he can live out his life undisturbed by the truth.

Let your kids deal with it you selfish assholes."
