Drug War Racism In Tampa Bay

Nationwide, black people were 3.7 times as likely to be arrested from 2001 to 2010, according to an American Civil Liberties Union report based on FBI crime statistics 
and census data.

The 2013 disparity in Pinellas and Hillsborough 
was nearly double that. here

United for Care Responds to No on 2's "Not What It Seems" Television Spot

United for Care, the main organization advocating for passage of Amendment 2, is responding to the No on 2 campaign's first television :30 second spot entitled "Not What it Seems." The spot criticizes Amendment 2's provisions allowing for caregivers who would assist gravely ill Floridians in securing and administering medical marijuana as recommended by their physicians.

"For the No on 2 campaign to use its first television spot to attack caregivers in Florida is beyond outrageous," said Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager at United for Care. "It is obvious that all of their other specious arguments have failed to garner public support, so they've turned to casting undue suspicion and aspersions on those who sacrifice their lives every day to care for the sick and suffering. We are all literally speechless."

Bob Jordan, who has used medical marijuana to take care of his wife Cathy, an ALS sufferer for almost 30 years, was confused by the spot’s assertions.

“I'm not a politician so maybe that's why this doesn't make sense,” said Bob Jordan. “What I’m hearing is that my wife should stay a criminal because otherwise I'll become a criminal. I just don't get it. Why should either of us be criminals?”

"The contrast between our campaigns could not be more stark, said Ben Pollara. “They are looking to criminalize the patients and those who would offer them comfort while we are looking to enable compassionate care for the suffering."

"I think their ad will fall flat, no doubt about it," said Pollara. "Floridians know who caregivers are and the sacrifices they make, in fact increasing numbers of them are playing that very same role today," added Pollara. "Outrageous scare tactics like the ones displayed in this spot will only increase support for Amendment 2 among Florida voters."

For more information or to schedule an interview with Ben Pollara, please call Maurizio Passariello at 786.285.6398 or email him at press@unitedforcare.org.

Hold Senator Brandes Accountable

Senator Brandes was the only Senator who voted against the compromise Medicaid expansion bill – depriving nearly 1 million Floridians, including more than 41,000 veterans, access to health care. Apparently health care for our most vulnerable citizens, including veterans, is offensive to Senator Brandes – despite the studies that have shown that accepting the Medicaid expansion funding will save lives, save money, and create jobs. Instead of talking about his record on issues that are important to Floridians, Senator Brandes and his special interest donors are sending out this offensive mail attacking me.

Chip in $10 right now to our Fight Back Fund so we can respond to these smearing and deceiving mailers – and get our message out.

Thanks again for holding Senator Brandes accountable,

Florida Millennials It's Your Time

Political consultants say a public battle over the proposed constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana, included on this year’s midterm election ballot, could boost turnout among young voters for Democrat 
Charlie Crist, who supports the measure. The extra support may be enough to help him defeat incumbent Republican Governor 
Rick Scott,who opposes it. here
