Hillsborough Democrats Want DWS Out

Chris Cano speaks out on her vote a few weeks ago regarding a measure to cut funds for Drug Enforcement Agency raids on medical marijuana operations, in which the South Florida Representative was one of the few Democrats in opposition (It passed on a 219-189 vote in the House). That was before she came out against Amendment 2, the medical marijuana initiative that raised the ire of one of its leading advocates, 
Orlando attorney John Morgan. here

Stop Oil Drilling In The Florida Straits

Black Horizon 
Millions of gallons of oil are spewing from a hole in the ocean floor after a deadly explosion aboard a massive rig.

Gambling Mogul Adds Name to Anti-Amendment 2 Rogue’s Gallery

With a single contribution of $2.5 million, 
Las Vegas gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson 
has added his name to the list of questionable characters standing behind Drug Free Florida, an organization dedicated to denying patients with debilitating diseases access to the medical marijuana they need to ease their suffering. At Drug Free Florida Adelson joins former Reagan drug policy aide Carlton Turner, who once claimed marijuana use led to homosexuality, tobacco lobbyist Sarah Bascom, and 
Mel Sembler, whose controversial STRAIGHT Inc. drug rehab program folded in 1993 due to accusations of widespread cruelty and abuse. here

Orlando

of any major city in America.
 Florida has continued to use public money to feed the low-wage beast.
"Politicians have offered tax breaks and incentives to theme parks and restaurants. They celebrate the openings of convenience stores. This is simply doubling down on low wages — and using public money
 (Corporate Welfare) to do so.....here

Darryl Rouson Is Worried About Amendment 2

Rouson’s Democratic Party has largely been supportive of the amendment on the November ballot and he says he has immense respect for the influential Orlando attorney who is spearheading the effort. “But, I am worried about the amendment,”
Rouson bluntly told about 300 community leaders at a Sarasota Tiger Bay meeting last week. here

Out Of Touch Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Ybor City Drug Crime

 Last February Matthew Heller was returning to his truck after having attended a Juicy J concert in Ybor City, “When he jumps in his truck, it was torn apart inside, wires had been yanked out, the paneling had some scratches on it…” One might think that maybe it was a burglar who had been inside his truck, but nope. It was TPD, and Mr. Heller knows that because they did leave a note saying exactly what they did. Here
Soon we can avoid all this and TPD can fight real crime.

Dear Mr. Rubio

Thank you very much for your e-mail
"Thank you for contacting me regarding marijuana usage.  I understand this is an important issue to you and I appreciate hearing your thoughts.  
Up front, let me say we disagree.
The use of illegal drugs has a profound impact on many people in our country, especially children.  Drugs contribute to violent crime and enrich international crime organizations.  More than that, they destroy lives and undermine our society.  The federal government has an important role to play in combatting drug trafficking and the criminal organizations that benefit from it. 
H.R. 499 the "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2013", was introduced by Congressman Jared Polis of Colorado. This legislation seeks to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule I controlled substances.  H.R. 499 has been referred to the House Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry.  There is no companion legislation for H.R. 2306 in the Senate. I cannot support blanket legalization for marijuana and I would like to see more scientific research and data before changing the laws on medicinal marijuana.  
It is an honor and a privilege to serve you as your United States Senator.  I appreciate you offering your opinion on this issue.  If I can ever be of any assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me."
Sincerely, Marco Rubio, Uited States Senator

First of all Mr. Rubio, drugs do not contribute to violent crime, drug laws do.
and second instead of enriching international crime organizations
we could be enriching our states coffer. This is going to pass, with or without your support. So you better get used to it.

Florida DINO Debbie Wasserman Schultz

The age of progressive politics I am 
highly disappointed in 
DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz
She obviously doesn’t understand the benefits of medical marijuana and hasn’t bothered to understand Amendment 2, either. 
She was irrelevant in the Democratic Party before this, now she is siding with 
Pam Bondi and Rick Scott 
She is neither compassionate 
nor progressive.”

John Morgan, Chairman, United for Care
“As a constituent of Rep. Wasserman Schultz and the father of a little girl who suffers from terrible seizures that could be alleviated by the use of medical marijuana, I find her remarks extremely troubling and disappointing. I don’t know how Congresswoman Schultz would feel if she was getting constant text messages from home every single day letting her know that her young child was suffering from yet another of hundreds of debilitating and potentially deadly seizures, but I suspect her view on Amendment 2 would be quite different. I hope no one in her family ever has to experience what my Becca does every day, and I hope that she reconsiders her position on this life or death issue.”
