Florida's Latest Private Voucher Scheme

Rick Scott’s allies in the Florida Legislature are working to divert our tax dollars to unaccountable voucher schools. Private vouchers purposely divert funding away from our already underfunded public schools

Enriching their campaign contributors in the process.

We urge you to oppose HB 7099.

“The Now Is the Time Tour”

On March 14, the CIW arrived in Lakeland. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside of a local Publix store. Groups of people arrived throughout the night to take part in a 24-hour vigil. The local police were in full force, as well. They told people not to enter the parking lot - threatening them with arrests and car towing......more>

I Am GOP: Tom Lee, Brandon

Lee's proposed amendment would give Florida's next governor

power to pack state Supreme Court. If voters approve Lee's amendment in November, Gov. Rick Scott, if re-elected, or his successor will have the power to appoint a majority of the seven-member court, a legacy that could last for decades.......more

GOP Red States Have Highest Poverty Rates

Why do people vote against their own best interest.

People in these states consistently vote against their own best interests
by electing Republicans.
The apparent disregard for human life is evident in how

the people in each of those states live.

Howard Dean Called It Right Years Ago

Right after the 2010 elections Democrats had absolutely nothing to lose at all by taking the liberal stances on issues that mattered to people and affected their lives.
Instead...all we got was preaching about more "bipartisanship", getting along with the other side, bite the other side, without the involvement and commitment of people at the ground level, you don't really have a party. Look what happen to Sink. Be proud to be a liberal You have no pool from which to draw future congresspeople, senators, and presidents.

And you have no genuine excitement...."He says "the truth is when you trade your values for the hope of winning, you end up losing and having no values--so you keep losing.

We have to reconnect to the base.......more>

We have tried cautious, centrist, moderate, bipartisan. We have tried being careful not to take strong stands. We have gone along with right wing policies trying to please.
It hasn't worked very well.

Jack Latvala, No Voter Reform

He doesn’t want to deal with it today

Republicans have fought against being able to register to vote when you get your driver's license or state ID.

Republicans are trying to keep young and poor people from voting because they know they are on their way out.

Florida GOP Blatant Hypocrisy

The GOP House just passed H.R. 4138

The "ENFORCE the Law Act of 2014."

The sole purpose of the bill is to force the President and Attorney General to enforce Federal laws prohibiting states from selling marijuana for any reason. In Florida, all GOP.
