It’s Time The Florida Democratic Party Grew Some Balls

Florida Democratic Party: We Want Black and Progressive Votes but Not Their Candidates

-----

In 2018 Florida Democrats will have the opportunity to nominate two Afro-Americans to statewide offices: Mayor Andrew Gillum of Tallahassee for governor and State Rep. Sean Shaw for attorney general. Both are exceptional candidates.

-----

The race for governor is clearcut: Gillum, a compelling orator and bona fide Democrat, stands out in a four-way race that includes former Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine, former Congresswoman Gwen Graham, and entrepreneur Chris King.

-----

There are 3.4 million blacks in Florida, nearly 17 percent of the population. They vote overwhelmingly Democratic and closely align with the progressive wing.

-----

The charismatic Gillum gives the Democratic party its best chance to win the governorship which has been in Republican hands for 20 years.  He would motivate voters who normally shun the polls in off-year elections. It also offers the Florda Democratic party to right past wrongs and truly represent its constituency.

-----

The fallacious notion, long perpetrated by the party apparatus, that a Democrat needs to be a centrist marginalizes black candidates and white progressives.  That’s been the modus operandi under the last five party chairpersons who are either elitists (Alison Tant and Stephen Bittel), conservative (Rod Smith), or self-serving (Scott Mattox and Karen Thurman).

-----

All shared one trait: they were 

supremely ineffective.

-----

Succeeding the disgraced Bittel is Terrie Rizzo who headed the Palm Beach Democrats.  She defeated Stacy Patel who was backed by progressives.

-----

Rizzo says she will “reach out” to progressives.  Sorry, lady, that’s not enough.  White progressive and black voters will not be voting for Republican Lite candidates in this election cycle or any future one for that matter.

-----

Then there are hundreds of thousands of progressives registered as No Party Affiliation.  They, too, don’t buy into the failed centrist right philosophy of 

the state party.

DO THE MATH!

High Speed Ferry Project Threatened!

After 5 years, $150,000 and 2 exhaustive site selection studies only one site was ever found to be either environmentally acceptable or economically feasible. But now the future of the Schultz Ferry Park is very much in doubt. And as a key component of south Hillsborough transit plans, losing the ferry project jeopardizes the future of public transportation plans.

County Commission Chair Stacy White has expressed doubt about public support for the ferry project. He told us that he would like to hear from environmentalists about the Tampa Bay Ferry Project and the proposed Schultz Ferry Park.

Stacy White's Hillsborough County War Veterans' Memorial Protection Ordinance

Our right wing Commissioner Stacy White plans to introduce a bill that would ban the relocation of any public memorial or monument. The "Hillsborough County War Veterans' Memorial Protection Ordinance"  would also prohibit the renaming of  streets, bridges, buildings or public property named or dedicated in honor of military figures or U.S. Presidents. here

Local Activist Denied Free Speech By GOP Hillsborough County Commissioner Stacy White

"I was escorted out of a public town hall by two police officers and DENIED my right to free speech because Hillsborough County Commissioner White couldn't handle being put on the spot about his open, unabashed racism. I was barely through introducing myself when he told me I was out of line. I persisted at trying to get through my question, but Commissioner White would not let me, and I was walked all the way off the property."

We Want A Referendum To Kick Out The Hillsborough County Commissioners Because They Ignored The Referendum

Nearly 80 percent of voters in 2008 approved a referendum to give up to $200 million to the Jan K. Platt Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program to purchase pristine, sensitive land for preservation. Now the program is broke and its leadership blames the county. here

"It's a disgrace,what are they waiting for, another referendum for the next election to kick them out because they ignored the referendum?" Jan Platt

Two Republicans get it.

People overwhelmingly approved that amendment, that was the message and we can't forget or lose sight of what that message was." Sandy Murman

Stacy White said he expects to unveil a new proposal within six weeks to fund and "revitalize" ELAPP. Where is Kevin Beckner on this? 

Does Ken Hagan need the money for  Corporate Welfare or to give to Hollywood filmmakers?
Remember White and Miller wanted to use some of the BP money.
