Florida's Culture Of Corruption

Tampa Tribune Editors: Here We Go Again

In the course of just a few short years the state has instituted questionable changes to popular early-voting hours, launched a flawed voter purge effort, and issued a misguided absentee ballot directive. Rather than make the voting process better, these moves have instead given life to claims that the state is more interested in preserving a particular party’s political power than in preserving the integrity of the vote.
The state’s meddling needs to stop.......more

Spanish River High School in Boca Raton

 The Institute on the Constitution launched a partnership with this American Club and will be sponsoring numerous more throughout America in the coming year! Knowledge of our God given liberties belongs in public education...If the school won't teach it, the kids will!

The Institute on the Constitution did not succeed in getting their course on the Constitution in the Springboro (OH) school district but

Failed State: Florida Still Looking For Creative Ways To Suppress Voter Rights

Florida is well known for finding creative methods of suppressing the vote. The latest ploy is a new rule issued by Governor Rick Scott’s chief election official Secretary of State Ken Detzner, directing that absentee ballots be returned by mail or directly to the offices of election supervisors. It has been a common practice in the state to allow ballots to be dropped off at locations such as tax collectors offices, libraries and other sites designated by the local election supervisors.  This was to accommodate those who wished to save the postage or found it more convenient to drop them at a nearby location.......more>

 

 The directive appeared to take dead aim at one supervisor, Deborah Clark in Pinellas County, who aggressively promotes voting absentee and has a small network of remote drop-off locations to make it easier for people to turn in their absentee ballots.

Bartlett Park Community

"After five years of growing food and community at the
Bartlett Park Community Garden,
we are excited to announce that we have bought the land the garden sits on.
It goes without saying that this is a major milestone for our garden. We no longer have to wonder each month if we will be able to continue
to grow food for our neighbors.  
We can run the garden as a resource for the
Bartlett Park Community for as long as the community needs it." Tom Tito

It is amazing what we can do when we all work together. Mr. Tito and the Bartlett Park Community  should be commended for their great work, they are a treasure to Tampa Bay.
