Local Candidates Beware Of Caviar And Champagne
Beware of candidates for public office that launch a well-publicized “listening tour.” It signifies that they haven’t been paying attention to voters and are not likely to suddenly change and become interested in Joe and Jill Lunchpail’s concerns.

Free Puerto Rico
After Puerto Rico getzwell we need to separate from America completely that's step 1. Step 2 would be a mass Exodus of Puerto Ricans from America back to our home country. Step 3 a reward for any Puerto Rican that would come back they would be Promised Land seeds for growing and Financial recoup. 4 leave the multinational banking system. 5 Unite the Caribbean countries. Rebuild our own country without the help of America. Make a deal with China. Embargo American food products so that they can't get into the country of America. Make a tight commitment to Cuba and ask for the same for Puerto Rico. Same deal all of the Caribbeans will get. Ask of our people not to join the u.s. military for any reason even at the threat of your own life. we don't want Americas help in rebuilding our country they'll turn our country into resort for their shity children. Reject America's imperialistic belief systems completely for the sake of our own people.

Latino Take Over Of Florida
Trump’s poor handling of the tragic ongoing crisis in Puerto Rico is the acceleration of mass migration to the mainland, particularly Florida. The New York Times recently reported that well over 100,000 Puerto Ricans have already arrived in Florida, and well over 200,000 may arrive before election day next year.
-----
The energized new Democratic voter registration groups that emerged after Hilary Clinton’s loss are already aggressively registering them to vote.
-----
While the Latino take over of Florida has been falsely reported more than once, now may really be the time.

Help Our Friend Bruce Wright
Bruce Wright has fallen on hard times. Any help you can provide him would be much appreciated. He is a committed, lifelong activist that works for the poor and oppressed communities. So few of us make the sacrifices to do this work because of the strain it can put on families financially, but Bruce is one that makes this sacrifice. here

#DemExit: John Morgan
Morgan said, while he would support some Democratic candidates he likes, he would not raise a dime for national groups like the Democratic National Committee. “Fuck no,” he said when asked if he would help national organizations. “That’s like pissing money down a rat hole. Read

Sanders vs. Trump 2020
The 2020 presidential election is Senator Bernie Sanders’ race to lose, according to a new survey of more than a dozen top Democratic strategists.
-----
“His people have never gone away,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon told The Hill. “And he has a loyal core following out there that will be with him come hell or high water.” Sanders is the most popular politician in America, with an approval rating of 75 percent, according to a recent Harvard-Harris poll.
-----
Since 2016, Sanders far-left politics have been embraced by Democrats at large. “The Sanders wing is becoming the dominant wing of the party,” Source
-----
So when Florida Democrats pick a new leader please take your head out of your ass and chose wisely. Remember your ways are not working and your voters want change.
-----
Republicans control all three branches of the Federal Government and the majority in the SCOTUS. And Republicans have control of 32 State Houses.
-----
Get a backbone and stand for something. You cannot be the anti-Trump party forever.

Florida GOP Supports Trump's Tax Scam

We Support Stacey Patel for FDP Chair
"I think the time has come for the people to take back the power of the Florida Democratic Party.
What if we built a party people could really believe in?
What if we gave our party back to the people, and spread the power of the few to the many?
What if we returned to our roots & inspired our neighbors with our love for justice and for one another?
What if we adamantly refused to compromise our values, and bought back our party from special interests?
What if we worked together to show Florida what democracy looks like?"

Straz Resolves to Buy Tampa Mayorship
Tampa mayoral hopeful David Straz, who was awarded an ambassadorship but has never held elective office, will unleash a torrent of cash in an effort to become the next mayor of Tampa, according to longtime political insiders in this town.
The whisper number is $2 million, a ton of dough for a guy with name recognition but a pittance for a privileged man of wealth . If he does spend anywhere near that figure, it might stand as a national record for a city this size
win or lose.
The daunting war chest is so many nickels to a billionaire. He announced this week that he added $10,000 to the already $100,000 in rewards for information leading to the arrest of the Seminole Heights serial killer. That equates to 50 cents for the average person; do the math. And the publicity he reaped from the area's most prominent fake news source won't be reflected as a campaign expense.
Apparently Straz and his brain trust aren't worried about peaking too early. The election is in March, 2019; the new mayor takes office on Apr. 1, 2019--496 days from now. That's an eternity for an insulated elitist unaccustomed to answering for past pronouncements, prior political proclivities, and public policy plans.
There will be candidate debates, community forums, and challenging questions from both the mainstream press and internet bloggers. Straz will be forced to appear in sections of Tampa he has never set foot in.
His life and associations, past and present,
will be an open book.
The race will have national implications as supporters of Donald Trump and his Trojan horses attempt to pick off big city, local races. See Rick Baker.
Straz voted for Trump in 2016 but now that he is running for mayor in a predominantly Democratic city, he has declared he won’t vote for Trump in 2020. That shabby, comic declaration illustrates his disdain for the electorate.
Straz better get used to the forbidding glare of the spotlight. Even $10 million won't help him cope with those demands.
Mountains of dinero haven't run off potential opposition : city council members Harry Cohen and Mike Suarez, former County Commissioner and civic activist Ed Turanchik, and former Police Chief Jane Castor remain strong possibilities, according to their supporters.

Florida Corporate Democrats Running Scared
It seems the left has the corporate overlords of the Florida Democratic Party running scared. With progressives winning a special state senate election, an important mayor's race, passing progressive resolutions and rewriting policies on consultant contracts.
----------
They have pushed Stephen Bittel
(Which the FDP should of taken care of a long time ago)
and Sally Boynton Brown out.

and Sally Boynton Brown out.
----------
They are already on the move. This from
"(Corporate Dem) Alma Gonzalez Dnc Florida is whispered to be a prospective candidate for the Florida Democratic Party Chairmanship. If she chooses to toss her hat in the ring, we wish her good luck. Alma would be a great Chair of the FDP. She would have my support."
----------
Her cover photo on Facebook was one of her and Ms. Graham (Not the one above)which she has changed and apparently deleted.
Update 11.21
Hillsborough’s Alma Gonzalez to run for FDP Chair
"We have been given a voice within the party for the first time in my nearly 12 years of involvement. If that voice is again marginalized, and if Sally leaves, I'm not sure I will continue in my role with the caucus." Susan Smith

Cheer up comrades, change is in the air. Let them and their followers (Locally you know who you are) continue their losing ways, In the end, we will prevail.

MLB And Ken Hagan's Fleecing Of Hillsborough County
Hillsborough County taxpayers, take a look around. If you can’t find the sucker, it’s you.
-----
Anyone favoring a new taxpayer-funded stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays is either in the cabal of grifters that will share in the $600M+ windfall or baseball aficianados that have bought into the sport’s bribery/blackmail playbook.
-----
It’s a game plan designed to enrich team owners, local real estate interests, bond attorneys, and public officials who expedite the travesty. In Tampa, that public official is Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan who negotiated with landowners and the Rays in secret, then last week presented his fellow commissioners with what amounted to a fait accompli as to the new Rays site in Ybor City.

Shame On Guido Maniscalco
Democrats Yvonne Yolie Capin, Guido Maniscalco, and Frank Reddick are co-chairs of a movement to make a Trump supporter Mayor of Tampa.
-----------------
We would expect this from Capin and Reddick. But Guido? We are very disappointed! We always thought he would be remembered for being the only dissenter on the 13-1 vote by the MPO on TBX back in 2015.
We were wrong.
