Anti-Regulation Governor Rick Scott
Except when it involves The Citrus Taliban
Scott loves to say we need less government regulation — and less government intrusion — in our lives. That is his mantra. Yet there he was recently, signing a bill into law that imposes dramatic new regulations over abortion clinics and likely will intrude on women's abilities to find a provider. here

Rick Scott's Office of Piss Poor Propaganda
Now Is the Time For a Revolution
We need to start a peaceful revolution in our country by electing a president who knows why our country was created, who believes that American freedom and beliefs are exceptional, and who understands WHY capitalism has done more to eliminate poverty than any government program. I have already announced my support for Donald Trump in this presidential election. here

Victor Licata: Ybor City's Axe-Murdering Marijuana Addict
An American murderer who used an axe to kill his family in Ybor City on October 16, 1933. The killings, were reported by the Press as the work of a
"axe murdering marijuana addict".
Evidence that there was a link between recreational drugs, such as cannabis, and crime. Despite evidence Licata had a pre-existing history of mental illness, police and the press made unattributed claims that he was “addicted” to marijuana. On October 17, 1933 the Tampa Bay Times wrote:

W.D. Bush, city chief detective, said he had made an investigation prior to the crime and learned the slayer had been addicted to smoking marijuana cigarettes for more than six months. However, a day later the Chief of Tampa Police Department downplayed the role the drug had in the murders, although he pledged himself to the cause of marijuana prohibition.

"Maybe the weed only had a small indirect part in the alleged insanity of the youth, but I am declaring now and for all time that the increasing use of this narcotic must stop and will be stopped."
Vote NO On Amendment 1
The amendment -- called Consumers for Smart Solar -- local and state regulators would maintain control over solar energy.
----------
The utility-backed amendment would allow monopolies to maintain the status quo in how solar energy is regulated. here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Eatonville
Rick Scott suspended Eatonville Mayor Anthony Grant following his indictment on voter-fraud charges earlier in the week. Grant, and two others are accused of intimidating and bribing voters in the 2015 election that led to Grant's victory. In six cases examined, a grand jury found that Grant, Mia Antionette Nowells and James Randolph unlawfully marked absentee ballots or forced people to vote for them, according to the 25-count indictment released Monday. here
Florida GOP Jeff Brandes: Let’s Make a (Corrupt) Deal
An activist group is running a radio ad in the Tampa Bay area against St. Petersburg-based state Senator Jeff Brandes that questions his ethics. The ad from Florida Strong is called “Let’s Make a (corrupt) Deal.” It attacks the Pinellas Republican for receiving campaign contributions from companies like Duke Energy and insurance lobbyists, and then claims that he voted on issues on behalf of those companies at taxpayers expense. here
Florida GOP Ends Prohibition On Slungshots
Scott signed measure HB 4009 that deletes part of state law which has prohibited the manufacturing or sale of a maritime tool known as a slungshot.
The slungshot consists of a weight affixed to the end of a long cord of being wound into the center of a knot called a monkey’s fist. Although the slungshot is a maritime tool, it became an improvised and very effective weapon, widely used by street gangs in the 19th Century.

The bill removed slungshot from the definition of a concealed weapon and also lifts a prohibition of the sale or transfer of a slungshot to a minor. here

Good Luck! Dezeray Lyn
"Tomorrow morning I begin the journey north for several weeks for an EMT intensive gaining skills to advance me on the volunteer street medic path and eventually towards dreams of joining Doctors Without Borders. I am only able to take this intensive due to comrades and friends donating and supporting me in numerous ways. That means everything.
To all those engaged in revolutionary struggles and movements who have captured my heart and who have my blood, sweat and tears in our fight for a kind, fair and empowering world for all, you will have my skills too... Food not Bombs, Love Has No Borders, Black Lives Matter, Earth First!, International Solidarity Movement and many more. No Walls. No Borders." Dezeray Lyn
