Bernie Supporters for Civility!
Hello friends!
In order to best impress upon the people that Bernie’s campaign is the way to go, we need to collectively chill, to a degree. Be bold and assertive in policy positions. Do not attack other surrogates, and when others attack us, we need to find a middle ground between holding our own and refraining from returning the negativity. It can be tough. Too much vitriol can ruin our message. I do not want that, and neither does my Senator, Bernie Sanders. To help him win, let’s take a careful, genuine approach to dealing with angry anti-Bernie people. Maybe ask them to mellow their hello, and in return, do the same. We cannot get through to people by returning the rage with more rage. It’ll cement bad feelings and hurt the Sanders campaign. If people won’t return kindness, do not bother to push it too far; just leave the conversation and state your “agreement to disagree.”
Defending other candidates from unnecessary negativity can and should be an objective for us to pursue. This should occur even if we do not agree with that candidate, or the surrogate feeling heat. It will help in the long run to promote civility among Democrats. Shouting matches will not get us far.
Would you share a time when you were politically triggered to respond negatively, and powered through for the greater good to respond with kindness? Perhaps as an example to exemplify the message in this article?
Stay groovy,
— Asher

Justice For Josiah Pinner
Dear Community and the world.
Many of us have taken notice of the abuse of power in Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa Florida U.S.A. While we have reached out to some lamestream media outlets asking for assistance to expose the corruption and cover-ups at HCSO we get little to no responses. This weighs on my heart as the people of this community are not being told the truth by the media or the shamefully corrupt sheriff's office. We will be reaching out to all copwatch,1st A.A.,and activist groups asking for assistance in spreading the truth as far and wide as we can.
It has also become clear that Tampa FL. has no true investigative journalist that will print with integrity and truth. We are hoping that any who can lend us a bit of assistance for this issue will reach out to us as the friends that we know we have. To see that the local Tampa community is mostly complacent to the propaganda and lies fed to them by the local news media and the corrupt Sheriff of Hillsborough county as well as the district attorney of
Hillsborough county Florida.

Tampa Schools Getting Better?
The number of “A” and “B” graded schools operated by Hillsborough County Public Schools has climbed to 99 in the newest School Accountability Report data from the Florida Department of Education. HERE
FYI Among our district’s “A” schools are Plant High School in South Tampa, Steinbrenner High School in Lutz, Newsome High School in Lithia and Sickles High School in Citrus Park—which were ranked as the top 4 high schools in the Tampa Bay area last month by U.S. News & World Report. What happened to King, Hillsborough, Blake, Jefferson, Middleton,
TBT and Leto? Do the math!

Kent Bailey: Sound of Silence
---
At home, these policies have institutionalized powerful vested interests in the legal system, law enforcement and a self-perpetuating prison industrial system; who have grown wealthy and strong by exploiting the poor and weak. The origins and solution of the "border problem" are to be found in Washington DC,
not Nogales, Mexico."
Kent Bailey
If there was no money to be made from dealing illegal drugs to the United States, how long do you think the drug gangs that are terrorizing the people of South and Central America would last? If you lived in constant fear of murder, rape or mutilation by a local drug gang, what would you risk to escape? (to say nothing of those who have already experienced these horrific events) How can one condemn people who are fleeing these conditions, other than because it is politically expedient?

Tampa Right Wing Church
Last month, Paula White, a televangelist who is a key spiritual adviser to and supporter of President Trump, preached at The River Church in Tampa, Florida, which was founded by fellow right-wing pastor and radical conspiracy theorist Rodney Howard-Browne. During her sermon, White proclaimed that she is making the White House “holy ground” simply

Hillsborough Commissioners Seek Applications for the Diversity Advisory Council
---
"Hillsborough County Commissioners are seeking applicants for the County's Diversity Advisory Council. This is an opportunity to replace the "Confederate activist" who has been sitting on that board: David McCAllister, whose term is now ending. McCallister is the spokesperson for the gigantic confederate flag at I-75 & I-4. He has held the "Northern and Southern European" seat for 2 years, so I'm looking for new candidates to apply for that seat specifically. There are other seats to fill too. Please share. Applications are due by July 25. See the link for details about the
application process."

Be The Change You Wish To See
“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him.” HERE
Bernie Sanders Big Green A
“Sanders receives an ‘A’ grade based on his nearly flawless support for cannabis for the last 20 years. His record of pro-legalization legislation is remarkable and cannabis legalization is a central part of his platform as a presidential candidate.” HERE
