FDOT Citizens Transportation Academy: Not A Joke
No joke, for real. They are so desperate they are now trying to cram their corporate vision of transportation down our throats at taxpayers expense. They want to feed us their corporate propaganda and they want us to like it. here
----------------------
They want to spend billions on something we don't WANT but can't pay for a decent image of our city's skyline. Or is this their way of showing us what our future looks like after they get done with us.

Desperate Rick Baker Exploits Irma
With his chances of becoming St. Petersburg’s next mayor dissipating as rapidly as the ravaging winds of Hurricane Irma, Rick Baker exploited one of the worst natural disasters in the nation’s history to resuscitate his failing campaign. here
-------------
Tampa Bay Times, Baker’s mouthpiece, printed the candidate’s press release verbatim without fact checking. So did a local play-for-pay blog and the right wing Sunshine State News.

Dezeray Lyn Was Wrong About Bob Buckhorn
For those who judged Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn to be a total asshole after having 7 people arrested for feeding the homeless... We were wrong.
He is an *even bigger* asshole than we thought.
Bob Buckhorn has been all over local media- as a catastrophic storm heads right for us, warning "looters" that he is going to have Tampa police attack and arrest them for disallowing corporations profit from a disaster by taking things they need to survive in this rabid, disgusting and horrendous capititalist system that keeps most of us in poverty while we create the wealth for the wealthy.
Sorry we misjudged you Bob.

Donna Davis Lowes Adventure
"At Lowe's, the line is through the store just to look for ply wood. My girl and I found a bunch of wood on a top shelf. Nobody could reach it so with the help of another family, we were able to stand on the second shelf and take wood down, distributing to everyone in line. Everyone there worked together to distribute to families as needed and the line dissipated.
Many folks stayed to help carry wood to the line and load it onto carts to pay. Lowe's called the cops on us. We had to leave the store before they found us. I'm just hoping the families we gave the wood to were able to leave with theirs as we could not." Donna L. Davis

Banana Republican Marco Rubio
Rubio voted against Sandy aid in 2013. Now he wants money for Irma. here
In 2013, Rubio was one of 36 Republican senators who voted against a Hurricane Sandy relief bill for New Jersey and New York, and now his South Florida colleagues hope he has learned a lesson.
“You can be a fiscal conservative until it hits you and your community and then you have a different point of view,” said Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

Florida GOP Jeb Bush
DEM OPPORTENT? - Buddy MacKay

November 7, 2006
Florida GOP Charlie Crist
DEM OPPORTENT? - Jim Davis
We could of had Rod Smith

January 4, 2011
Florida GOP Rick Scott
DEM OPPORTENT? - Alex Sink

January 8, 2014
Florida GOP Rick Scott
ExGOP OPPORTENT? - Charlie Crist
We could of had Nan Rich. Please note: As of early June 2014, Scott had spent almost $13m since March on television adverts attacking Charlie Crist, Although the ads resulted in a tightening of the race, this came about by decreasing Crist's favorability ratings. By contrast, Scott's favorability ratings did not increase. Scott should of been beaten. The Dems had a inferior candidate, with Nan Rich they probably would of won.
2018 DEM OPPORTENT Gwen Graham?
Check out our choice for governor
in Seminole Heights Andrew Gillum here
Also note: On list, 3 corporate Dems and 1 ex GOP. You have tried it their way for a very long time, and look where you are. If you are tired of loosing then you have to reclaim the party. Bernie started it, you must finish it.

There are alot of groups out there that say they are progressive. But if you want to take the party back from corporate power The Susan Smith wing of the party is the place to start. With Susan Smith leading the way and talented committed progressives surrounding her.
