Wasserman Schultz Is Wrong

Florida Congresswoman, and Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told a South Florida crowd the economic embargo on Cuba should remain in place.
It's Time For The U.S. To End Its Senseless Embargo Of Cuba.
The nominee for U.S. Secretary of State, Sen. John Kerry, once held up millions of dollars in funding for secretive U.S. democracy-building programs in Cuba. Defense Secretary hopeful Chuck Hagel has called the U.S. embargo against the communist-run island "nonsensical" and anachronistic. Both men are now poised to occupy two of the most important positions in President Barack Obama's Cabinet, leading observers on both sides of the Florida Straits to say the time could be ripe for a reboot in relations between the longtime Cold War enemies.

Help, end the war on the Cuban people, they are being held hostage by a small group of Right-Wing Extremist in South Florida.

I Hate Tampa Bay

 I am not a big fan of the city of Tampa.  As far as I could tell, the only businesses in Tampa are used car lots, pawn shops, strip clubs, and medical malpractice attorneys.  The baseball stadium sucks.  Ybor City is where the clubs used to be, and it harbored some of the worst music anywhere........Greg Miller the singer of The Whiskey Daredevils, a group of barely talented dead beat no frills rockers.

What A Surprise

Hillsborough Denies Domestic Partnership Registry
Commissioners Victor Crist, Ken Hagan, Al Higginbothom and Sandra Murman voted against the motion.
Commissioners Les Miller, Kevin Beckner and Mark Sharpe voted in favor.
It is evident by the vote today that a majority of my colleagues are out of touch with Hillsborough County voters and remain shackled by the unbendable ideology of their political masters,”....Kevin Beckner

Organizer's Conference for Coalition to March Against the RNC



After speaking with several attendees, I realized that although this would be a protest against the Republican National Committee, most of the organizers in this room would be just as happy protesting the Democratic National Committee. This was most unexpected! But as the website for Resist the RNC states, "Both parties are intricately tied to corporate rule, war, economic injustice, and profess freedom and democracy but crack down on dissent." The desire to claim power for the 99% permeated the room. The following question was put to the group: if you could change just one thing about the world, what would you change? Each attendee answered in their own way. The answers were full of hope and idealism.
