Attorney General Pam Bondi of Florida, after taking a free ride on a chartered jet last year to a resort island far from her home state, made an unusual offer to one of the corporate lawyers from Washington who helped foot the bill: an invitation to stay at her Tampa home while recuperating from surgery.

Florida: Black Bears Need Your Voice

Florida black bears were once forced to the brink of extinction due to over-hunting and habitat loss. These typically shy forest dwellers have only recently started to rebound, thanks in part to a 1994 statewide ban on bear hunting.

Unfortunately, recent incidents involving human-bear conflicts, including cases of humans illegally feeding bears, have led some lawmakers to renew calls to reopen a bear trophy hunt in Florida. This ineffective solution would allow hunters to target bears deep in the woods far from human neighborhoods, who are not bothering anyone. Instead, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission should focus its attention on educating the public on how to avoid conflicts with bears through everyday actions, such as 

using bear-proof trash cans.

TAKE ACTION

Please take a moment to send a message below to Gov. Scott and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and ask that they keep Florida black bears protected from trophy hunting. here

Founder of U.S. UnCut Letter To Democrats

Dear Democrats,

Are you listening? President Obama says he hears us. He says that people don’t have a reason to show up to vote if the politicians they have to choose from don’t motivate them. He’s partially right. But that’s only part of a much larger problem. To all you would-be elected officials looking for my generation’s support at the polls, listen closely – get populist or get ready to lose bad. here

Raíces en Tampa To Spotlight Tampa City Council Lying

On October 16, 2014 during a Tampa City Council meeting, Raíces en Tampa attempted to have the Council vote in favor of supporting driver's licenses for the undocumented. Joined by supporters and people who would be affected by this change, Raíces en Tampa hoped the City of Tampa would be the first city in Florida to publicly support the movement for licenses. Tampa City Council refused to vote and at one point even stated they had never seen the resolution. A Raíces en Tampa member stated off the podium that each of them had indeed seen it, and reminded them that out of the seven City Council member, six of them had met with Raíces en Tampa. Mike Suarez lifted his finger to his mouth signaling the Raíces en Tampa member to silence herself and continued denying they had met with Raíces en Tampa. This is why Raíces en Tampa will hold a press conference on 
November 10, 2014 starting at 6:00 PM.

Well, about 3 million Christian conservatives and other mostly anti-government Republican voters (sprinkled with some independents) keep re-electing governments that the other 15+ million of us get stuck with. here

How The GOP Wins Elections

National exit polls show the overall 2014 midterm turnout barely broke 30 percent, and the electorate skewed older, white and male – voters more likely to turn to the GOP. By contrast, young people and people of color – the new Democratic base that swept Obama into office twice – made up the majority of nonvoters this cycle.

As a result, “This was a rout," here
