Bernie: Our Movement is Winning

All across the country, up and down the ballot, progressive candidates are standing up for working people, fighting back against their establishment-backed opponents, and winning their primaries.
We saw it just this week with Cori Bush's remarkable victory in Missouri, and Rashida Tlaib's landslide win defending her seat 
in Michigan.
We've seen it in New York and Washington, with congressional candidates like Jamaal Bowman and Pramila Jayapal. With district attorneys and prosecutor races, too, like Amy Padden in Colorado and Eli Savit in Michigan.
These victories are happening nationwide because our movement has stood together. And now, more progressives across the country with primaries happening very soon are counting on us to stand with them.
---
Making calls for these progressive candidates is the most impactful thing you can do to help during the final stretch of their primaries. HERE

"I've worked for four years to get HART its first electric buses and for some time met with strong resistance. I couldn't be more thrilled.

Florida Teacher Tamika Lyles’s Emotional Plea




Orlando, Florida Racist

District 3: Sky U. White

District 3 is “the most marginalized district in Hillsborough County and also the poorest district in Hillsborough County. It also is the most neglected district in Hillsborough County, what the county needs to do is make sure we have someone on the Board of County Commissioners that’s advocating for this marginalized community. We can’t keep electing the same people that’s had the opportunity to build equity and chose not to."

Helena L Green on Thomas Scott

He can be a public servant, he just needs to do it from the sidelines. He has had his time. No more business as usual, electing people because of titles and friendships. Sky is young and vibrant and should be looked upon as the future. All these old and played out politicians really need to fade to the back! They have had their times and turns! Need to go sit down somewhere. They should be trying to nurture and mentor Sky! As I always say, it's time for fresh faces and new ideas! Let's go SKY WHITE!

Sky U. White's Grassroots Campaign

Our campaign is grass roots. Our volunteers are full-time nurses, teachers, small business owners, retired physicians and veterans; people who are committed to see the change that was promised by our prior elected official but never fulfilled. Therefore, who we accept money from is a big deal. We REFUSE to take a single dime from reckless developers and special interest groups.
---
However, my opponent chooses otherwise.

According to the public Campaign Finance report produced by Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections, Bishop Thomas Scott,my opponent, has received over $20,000 in campaign donations from reckless land developers. One such funder is Stephen Dibbs, a developer who specializes in building sprawling strip malls, commercial plazas and even sued the county in an attempt to build on protected wetlands.

HERE IS WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM:

Considering your County Commissioners are responsible for regulating development in our county, the fastest growing parts of District 3 has been over run by urban sprawl, congestion and an increase in housing costs. We have good developers who support affordable housing and we have those who are filled with greed and have no regard to the well-being of our residents.

You elect your Commissioner because you trust them to make the best possible decisions for the people that they represent. Seeing the current state of our district, can we TRULY say we have progressed? We must ask ourselves: What are these developers expecting from their donation?

We are no longer electing politicians who only seek to profit off of the backs of our hard working residents. Please share this post if you stand on the side 
of the people.

Gaetz known to viewers, thanks to a series of headline-making (and social media-inflaming) stunts, including tweeting out a not-so-veiled threat to congressional witness (and former Trump attorney) Michael Cohen, and leading a group of rabble-rousing Republicans on a raid of a closed-door impeachment hearing deposition. A perpetual fixture on Fox News, where he parrots Trump talking points. HERE

Democrats Vote No On Medicare For All

A Democratic National Committee panel voted down an amendment that would have inserted a plank supporting Medicare for All into the party’s 2020 platform.
---
By a vote of 36-125
---
Polls show more than 85% of Democrats support Medicare for All

More than 600 DNC delegates had signed a petition vowing to vote against the Democratic platform if it doesn’t include support for Medicare for All, a policy solution supported by around 80% of Democratic voters and a majority of House Democrats. Most of the petition’s signatories are Sanders delegates, according to organizers, but some Biden delegates have also signed on.

Joe Biden suggested that he would veto the universal health-care legislation championed by his primary rival Sen. Bernie Sanders if it were passed after Biden took office. HERE
