Hillsborough County GOP Votes To Continue The Infestation
GOP commissioners voted 5-2 to move ahead with a plan to overhaul the structure of the Hillsborough County Commission including the addition
of two seats.
of two seats.
-----
The proposal is being pushed by Republican Commissioner
Sandy Murman. The proposal would give her more options to stay in office.
-----
The commission’s two Democrats voted against Murman’s plan. Commissioner Pat Kemp said the move is aimed simply at protecting Republican controlled at-large seats in what political pundits predict may be a tough election year for the GOP.
-----
"This is in my mind raw partisan politics, this is commissioners trying to draw districts for themselves to keep themselves on the commission." Pat Kemp

Coffee with Adam Hattersley
Hattersley, a former Nuclear
Submarine officer in the US Navy and Iraq War veteran, is running for Florida
State House, District 59. The former Navy officer rounds out his qualifications
with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the
University of Michigan as well as being a member in the 1999 NCAA champion
men’s gymnastics team.
Adam Hattersley is an ally of Main

he understands the challenges small businesses are facing today and knows the
importance of fostering local commerce.
Adam is a
principled veteran who will work in a cross-partisan way to create a more
effective and less polarized government for District 59.
Asher Edelson Speaks At City Hall
Speaking to Tampa City Council demanding Audit
to Investigate “Biking While Black."
-----
Another gentleman also spoke directing his anger towards
Frank Reddick. He was stopped and told to direct
his comments towards the whole body. He mentioned that Reddick had done nothing for Tampa's
African American community.
-----
Joe Citro was there and a few other people.
Where was everybody?
-----
This is your government at work. I know it's hard for working people to be at City Hall on a weekday morning but what about retirees? Don't you you care about your children and grand children's future? What about students that don't have class?
-----
This is NOT What Democracy Looks Like!!
-----
We all know that some candidates are motivated to run because they want power, prestige, and to do well (for themselves), I believe that Bob's motive was driven by the desire to Do Good. I am not surprised that Bob would put party above himself. Bob may have done right by the party, but they have not done right by him, nor us, the people.
-----
I am also pleased that he is returning donor contributions instead of funneling them into the party. I'm tired of candidates being shoved down my throat. Anybody who is reading this, don't misunderstand, I am not advocating for voting for Dana Young or any GOP candidate. I am exercising my freedom of speech, and criticizing a deeply flawed system. This is NOT What Democracy Looks Like!

Coffee with Dave Cutler
Dave Cutler is a self-described rabid fan of all Tampa Bay
and Florida State teams and a true blue progressive Democrat.
For almost three years now, the Tampa Bay native has manned
the helm of the Hillsborough LGBTA Democratic Caucus with an exceptional track
record in tow. During Cutler’s tenure as President, he has earned continued
praise from state and local party officials for his dedication, hard work and
grass roots political activism.
Later this month, the Caucus will host their First Annual
Bowl-A-Thon on Sunday, April 29th. The fundraising event will be
emceed by former County Commissioner Kevin Beckner and is expected to draw a
large crowd. Tickets are available now for only twenty five dollars by visiting
hclgbtadc.org. Cutler says that the event will be “phenomenal” and encourages the
community to come out and join in the fun.
Something's wrong with the left
Something's wrong with the left remember freedom of speech! what happened to discussion, what happened to being critical thinkers, what happened to civil discourse. we on the left have lost our way. We're going to keep on losing until we return to the values of being a leftist.
-----
-----
People are so quick to call others racist. I've been fighting for the rights of all minorities for years. I have never called someone a racist if I didn't believe it and there wasn't evidence of it. There is no intellectual Independence anymore. What being a leftist is about is empathy, it's about fighting for the people who need you to fight for them cuse they can't fight for themselves. We are living in critical times we were at the Edge, now
we have jumped off.
we have jumped off.
-----
I found a lot of you have not been taught what it means to be a fighter for the poor the oppressed was The Unwanted. We must have a critical inventory of our tactics and the motives of those who seek to destroy Liberty within the left. which is the basic concept of liberalism. You should have the freedom to offend, I may not like what you say but I don't want to live in a the Society where people cannot challenge the majority of thought. Return to being humble to having honor to telling the truth, even if it harms you. To never looking at the big picture and to always looking at the consequences of our actions.we must be able to be upright enough to stand up. If you are in total agreement with any one person or any group of people on everything, there is something wrong.
Wake up!!!!!
Wake up!!!!!
-----
How can we call others fascist when we control the very nature of speech and language. return to fighting for the truth return! return! return! before it's too late. I weep for the next generation your children of the millennials they will live in a disposable Society. proof by evidence of crime should be what convicts. not the accusation of criminality. Wake up men and women or whatever you are. We should never totally agree but we should be able to learn what compromise truly is. We should never compromise on fact what compromise I'm talking about is not a country divided but ideology but to have different people thinking differently working together at the same goal for liberty and justice for all.
-----
So what were going to do today and tomorrow is that we are going to have what I call the great conversation, that the left must have with itself or kiss our asses goodbye.
