Jon Rector Speaks Out
And, for the incessant Republican robocallers: We voted for Charlie Crist. Florida has suffered enough at the hands of the Chief
Executive Orifice Prick Scott.
After Scott and his minions threw their support to Nan Rich, she was no longer a viable candidate. A vote for Rich would be the same as a vote for Scott.

Tampa Fights Police Brutality
On a rainy afternoon, Aug. 23, 70 people rallied in downtown Tampa demanding justice for Mike Brown of Ferguson, Missouri. Gathering at Lykes Gaslight Park, the people protested outside the Tampa Police Department and the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Middle District of Florida. Protesters showed solidarity with the people fighting back in Ferguson by demanding the jailing of killer cops in Tampa.
Alekos Zambrano of Tampa Dream Defenders said, "We are here today to demand justice. We demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of the officer that shot Mike Brown. The immediate arrest and prosecution of the officer that killed Javon Neal. The immediate arrest and prosecution of the officer that killed Arthur Greene. We believe that these demands are reasonable. We believe that these demands are just. We also demand that here in Tampa, the police wear forward facing cameras so we no longer have to take their word for it, when they tell us that our young sisters and brothers forced them to pull the trigger. And we demand the police records of arrest, detainment and questioning, not ending in conviction. here

GOP BS: Murican Enemy Number One
WAKE UP LATINOS
“I think people are very upset, and people have really been awakened to the immigration issue where they haven’t been before,Right now at this current time, I would say immigration is the No. 1 issue on people’s minds.” first-term GOP congressman, Scott Perry said. here
It’s funny how they claim that immigration is the number one issue for many people. It’s downright hilarious that they are using the bill they voted on before their August recess to prove to the American voters that they care about working on the issue. The bill would speed up the process to send the migrant children back to their dangerous countries. It would also end Deferred Action for the Dreamers.

Florida's Oath Of Office
"I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend the sugar industry interests of the state of Florida; that I am duly compromised to hold office under the legalized bribes of various vested interests in this state, and I will well and faithfully perform the duties of a compliant shill and will to the best of my abilities follow the hunting laws of the great state of Texas for which I am about to board an airplane for an all-expense-paid trip by agricultural lobbyists to butcher unsuspecting critters, so help me (a lot!) the Republican Party of Florida."
Is Florida Really The Most Corrupt State In America?
The superficial, court-ordered
redistricting in Florida only scratches the surface of the prevalent culture of
political corruption that permeates the state's two political parties. here
