Florida To Wisconsin: "Gonna Roll The Union On"



Raging Grannies of South Florida send musical message of Unity to labor unions and working people from West Palm Beach to Madison, Wisconsin and everywhere else in America...with a lot of help from teachers, firefighters, parents, students, seniors and all the others who are part of Florida's new "Awake" The State protest movement, fighting the "Profits Over People" policies of Governor Rick Scott and an extremist GOP-dominated state legislature.

Not Six Foot Rule Bob Buckhorn

On the eve of a live televised debate in the mayor's race, Ed Turanchik endorsed Bob Buckhorn, saying his former rival is "best prepared to lead Tampa."

Mr. Turanchik should have kept his mouth shut like Mr. Greco did. I think i'll sit this one out.

Ed Turanchik and Kelly Benjamin

I read Michael Hussey's post and what he has to say about Ed Turanchik and Kelly Benjamin. I do agree we need to push every democrat to the left. I disagreed backing a progressive candidate is a waste of time.

Out of 190,000 plus eligible voters in Tampa, only 11,566 (district 6) of them bothered to show up.
The 7,221 that voted for Charlie have spoken for everyone in district 6, his campaign didn't even have an e-mail address. The sad part is Benjamin's campaign took to all the media fronts and only 4,345 of us made it to the polls. Not good.

Other races were the same. Felita 10,802, Turanchik 8,104
Reddick 3,314, West 1,140
