Remember Bush And The Texas Rangers?
Repost: December 11, 2014
The city spent $150,000 on an advertising campaign to persuade voters. Opponents of the deal couldn’t compete with glossy brochures, telemarketing calls, and a “Hands Around Arlington Day.” On Jan. 19, 1991, citizens of Arlington voted two-to-one to approve a sales-tax increase dedicated to building
the new park.
the new park.
Between the sales-tax revenue, state tax exemptions and other financial incentives, Texas taxpayers handed the privately owned Rangers more than $200 million in public subsidies. Taxpayers didn’t get a return from the stadium’s surging new revenues, either. The profits went almost exclusively to the team’s already wealthy owners. here

Florida Keys unlawfully detaining and nearly deporting a U.S citizen
"The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced Monday that it had filed a lawsuit in conjunction with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) against a Florida sheriff’s office for unlawfully detaining and nearly deporting
a U.S citizen.
a U.S citizen.
Peter Sean Brown was born in Philadelphia and has lived in Florida for the last 10 years. According to the complaint, Brown reported to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office in April for violating his probation for a low-level marijuana offense and was subsequently detained longer than was required at the request of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE believed Brown was a Jamaican undocumented immigrant of the same name, and was intent on deporting him. Despite his repeated pleas that he was a U.S. citizen with a birth certificate and a Florida driver’s license, Monroe County jail officers told him he was being sent to a country he had only been to once on a cruise."

2020 Vision with Asher
My candidate will need to be anti war. Someone who supports a full withdrawal from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen will earn gratitude from those who recognize the atrocity that is our War on Terror. These wars have kept the vacuum of terror wide open, poured billions of dollars per year away like expensive cat litter on an open wound, and cost thousands of American lives, not to mention thousands more veterans traumatically injured for life; not to mention the colossal damage we have done to the countries we have indefinitely occupied, whether in terms of massive instability or thousands dead and maimed. The War on Terror, and the money spent on appeasing defense contractors, must be controlled and stopped. This does not mean end counter terrorism or become isolationist. This means end the wars.
My candidate will need to oppose the War on Drugs. The legalization of cannabis nationwide should be a top priority. The decriminalization of other, harder drugs should also be on the agenda. Putting people in jail for use or possession of drugs does not solve the drug issue, it only exacerbated it, putting a strain on marginalized communities and taxpayers. We should follow examples like in Portugal where drug epidemics have been tackled by ending drug wars. We should hurt the black market and cartels by legalizing cannabis and decriminalizing other drugs. We should liberate non violent drug users/possessors by ending the abysmal War on Drugs.
My candidate will support environmental protection. In this, they should be an advocate for alternative energy, carbon taxes, and keeping corporations from polluting as they please. They should be in favor of healthcare expansion, ADA expansion, and securing liberties for the trans community. They should be opposed to “Teach to Test” education and support the protection of public education. They should support worker rights like a living wage, unionization, and safe workplaces. They should be progressive, independent minded, bold on the issues, and possess quality character.
With all of that said, I like Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Gillum, Jeff Merkley, and Kirsten Gillibrand. Who do you like that will be good on the issues I mentioned?
