This spring, a team working under the president's son-in-law produced a plan for an aggressive, coordinated national COVID-19 response that could have brought the pandemic under control. So why did the White House spike it in favor of a shambolic 50-state response? HERE

Hillsborough Democratic Voter Protection Team Sign Up
As we learned in the 2018 recount, every vote matters. It's our job as your local Voter Protection Team Leaders to ensure that every eligible voter is allowed to cast a ballot in the 2020 Election. That's the reason we need poll watchers (inside polling sites), poll greeters (outside the 150-foot zone at polling sites), drivers, and other volunteers to assist voters who encounter problems or need information during the election. Poll watchers must have credentials from the Supervisor of Elections office so we need to verify voter registration information in order to get those
credentials for you.

Democratic Party Platform Committee votes Down Legalization
Shame on you
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor,
Ana Cruz, Oscar Braynon II,
Mia Jone and Khurrum Wahid
Yesterday, the Democratic Party’s delegates appointed to their Platform Committee convened to vote on several key issues. One issue of importance was the topic of the legalization of cannabis. The presumptive nominee for the Democrats, former Vice-President Joe Biden, has not been a champion for legalization. Rather, he has adopted a lukewarm stance on the issue. This should come as no surprise to students of American politics. Biden served as a U.S. Senator for over 30 years and VP to Barack Obama for another eight, yet in all that time his record on criminal justice reform remains tarnished by his own support for the prison-industrial complex. He is no paragon of justice. Joe Biden is often credited as the architect behind the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. The ’94 crime bill is frequently reference by social scientists as the driving force behind mass incarceration and the racial disparities in the modern criminal justice system. MORE

"I am disappointed in Congresswoman Kathy Castor’s vote, and in the votes of all those who struck legalization of cannabis from the DNC platform. It stifles progress, discourages voters, and is contrary to what a majority of Democrats want — registered voters and elected officials who ran for President in 2020! What is their rationale here?"
