Demise Of GOP On Full Display At The Miami Debate
On Thursday night, as the four remaining GOP candidates debated, hundreds of people from across Florida took to the streets outside the University of Miami to protest the party’s rhetoric on immigration, women’s health, the Puerto Rican debt crisis, and the minimum wage. here

Not enough old white guys.
The Republican Party has a demographics problem. A recent analysis found that while GOP frontrunner Donald Trump may be energizing a subset of white male voters who normally don’t participate in politics, he is driving away the very groups Republicans need to win the White House this fall: young people, women, naturalized immigrants, Latinos, and blue collar workers. Trump has done so much damage to the GOP’s brand with these groups that he would need to win more than 70 percent of all white men to make up for it,

Sun-Sentinel Won't Endorse Any GOP Candidate
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's editorial board says it can't endorse any of the 2016 Republican candidates -- a rebuke that especially stings Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. The Sun-Sentinel, lambasted Rubio, writing that he "has almost no experience and has done little but run for office," and criticizing his missed Senate votes.
"Because Rubio has failed to do his job as a senator, broken the promises he made to Floridians and backed away from his lone signature piece of legislation on immigration, we cannot endorse him for president," the newspaper wrote. here

Tallahassee's Skunky Weed Bill
Once again, Tallahassee politicians are putting their own campaigns before medical science and the rights of doctors. They passed HB307, a bill that perpetuates the status quo except for a very small number of terminally ill patients. This law would do nothing for people like my brother, a quadriplegic, or any other person who has intractable pain. It does nothing to help cancer patients who need marijuana to counter the affects of chemo. It does nothing for our soldiers with PTSD or patients with MS. The bill is typical Tallahassee window dressing, designed more to help with campaigns than serve as a true means of access for those that need it. lt also adds a new class of eligibility to a universe of
ZERO eligible patients.

ZERO eligible patients.
----------
While there are a few up there worth supporting, I lost faith in the legislature a long time ago. The ONLY thing they've done with this legislation is acknowledge that medical marijuana works, but then they specifically voted against access for hundreds of thousands of patients who need it.
----------
----------
This is why we took matters into our own hands, and why so many of us opened up our wallets to support getting Amendment 2 on the 2016 ballot. Tallahassee's failure points again to the need for Amendment 2, and the need for your continued support. Doctors—not Tallahassee politicians—should decide who they should recommend use marijuana. People shouldn't have to be terminal to be allowed this access.

Florida INC. Power Grab For Control Of The Courts
After the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the partisan maps drawn by the Republican-controlled Legislature violated the Fair Districts amendments, Florida GOP John Wood, of Polk, called for impeachment proceedings against the justices. Now, Wood and his colleagues in the House are asking the people of Florida to believe that the judicial term-limits bill passed in the House has absolutely nothing to do with payback.
Don’t buy it. here

The truth is the judicial branch is the only thing that can prevent the governor and the Legislature from enacting unconstitutional laws.
John Morgan On Tallahassee Window Dressing
The Florida Senate passed HB 307 on a bipartisan 28-11 vote. HB 307 is meant to expand current medical marijuana laws to allow terminally ill patients the use medical marijuana.
Attorney John Morgan, United for Care's Chairman, said, "Once again, Tallahassee politicians are putting their own campaigns before medical science and the rights of doctors. This law would do nothing for people like my brother, a quadriplegic, or any other person who has intractable pain. It does nothing to help cancer patients who need marijuana to counter the affects of chemo. It does nothing for our solders with PTSD or patients with MS. The bill is typical Tallahassee window dressing, designed more to help with campaigns than serve as a true means of access for those that need it. Hospice centers have another drug. It's called morphine."

Twenty grams, he said, could be rolled into some 40 joints. “We’re not talking about one or two marijuana cigarettes here,” he said. Not giving first-time offenders a criminal record for possession of a small amount of marijuana is fine, but it should be handled differently. here
