University Of Florida SDS Demands Tuition Equity

On Oct. 17, student activists at the University of Florida (UF) officially launched their tuition equity campaign by having a demonstration at Tigert Hall, the University of Florida’s administration building. Around 40 students gathered in front of Tigert Hall to demand in-state tuition for undocumented students who have graduated from Florida high schools. The delegation made speeches calling for the university to implement DACA (the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals process) at UF and live up to its claim of being a flagship university and open the door to undocumented students........more

Alan Grayson Maintains Firm Grip on Race

The latest race ratings for Florida's 9th Congressional District affirm that Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Orlando) remains a heavy favorite to win re-election in 2014. "These nonpartisan prognosticators understand the reality of this race. We are in a heavily-Democratic district. We won in record fashion in 2012. We have some of the best field and fundraising operations in the entire country. But most importantly, I work hard, pay attention, and get things done for my constituents. They want a ‘Congressman With Guts' representing them," Grayson said.......more

Rep. Alan Grayson: "Tea Party is no more popular than the Klan"

Jessica Ehrlich Not Welcome

In an email shared with Peter Schorsch of Saint Petersblog  Mrs. Young, Bill Young's widow advises Ehrlich, who ran against Rep. Young in 2012, that she is not “welcome at any of my husband’s memorial services.”

“People like you are the exact people that makes this world a scary place to live in,” Young writes. “You should be ashamed of the games you attempted to play so you could secure a job.“

I will keep my words to myself on this one, RIP Mr. Young.

Consider Rep. Ted Yoho Of Florida

Accountability

Consider Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), a Tea Party freshman whose outspoken stupidity on a default’s potential benefits, such as an improved U.S. credit rating, has provided a bit of dark humor in these dark days. Yoho, a large-animal veterinarian, announced months ago that he would never vote to raise the debt ceiling. Like most Republican candidates, he had no problem raising contributions from business interests, notably including contractors, insurance companies, manufacturers and agricultural processors — all of which presumably share the horror of default expressed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But no doubt Yoho parroted the usual right-wing clichés about taxes, regulation, labor, and health care, so all the business guys wrote a check without caring that Yoho is an ignorant yobbo.......more
