The Suncoast Haven of Rest Rescue Mission

Is in a desperate situation, perhaps months away from closing their doors for good, or at best, dramatically decreasing the number of meals provided to the homeless and families in financial need.

Anita Stewart's $300 Campaign

When a friend suggested I run for office as a Green in June of 2009 I thought, “No, definitely not me.” I wanted to serve, but not that way. “Why not?” he asked. “I have no money, no backers, no way to promote myself, not the right resume, not the right hair-do,”
plus a myriad of other reasons that I listed for about five minutes. All excuses.

Dick Cheney, The Ultimate American Terrorist

Speaking of damaging the republic, Dick Cheney has a book out. I'm sure you've heard about it by now; If there were any justice to be found in this deranged country, Dick Cheney would have penned his pestiferous, self-serving little memoir by the light of a bare bulb inside the cell of a federal prison.

Pastor Mike of Miramar

Meet Michael Stahl, otherwise known as "Pastor Mike." Stahl lives in Miramar, Florida, and leads an online church called Living Water Church, which we think is a fancy way of saying he hangs out a lot in a Christian-themed chat room. Stahl has proposed the creation of a national registry for atheists, much like the ones in existence for sex offenders. It's almost self-evident why this is a good idea,
but let's have Stahl explain it himself.

Where Are We Heading?

Here in Florida,
in the past few months alone, the Department of Community Affairs was eliminated; the Florida Forever land acquisition program was unfunded; all the appointments to the Environmental Regulation Commission and to the Florida Energy and Climate Commission had been withdrawn; the state's planned cap-and-trade program was scrapped, and the regulations protecting the Everglades, a body of laws that had been decades in the making, were rolled back. Seed money from Washington for high speed rail was rejected by the Florida governor—as if the Florida construction industry were not in need of jobs. Meanwhile the ocean around the Keys heated up to an astounding 30 C (90 F); the water is teeming with jellyfish, and the reefs look blotched and blighted. How can we possibly afford this—even from a business standpoint? Is the Florida tourism industry not in need of tourists?

Drill for Oil and Gas in the Everglades

"The United States needs to be less dependent on foreign sources of energy and more dependent upon American resourcefulness. Whether that is in
the Everglades, or whether that is in the eastern Gulf region,
or whether that's in North Dakota, we need to go where the energy is.".....Michele Bachmann

Resourcefulness? Solar, Wind, Better MPG's, Mass Transit and some of those 60mpg VW's they got in Germany.
