Rally At Rep. Kathy Castor's Office In Tampa
Thursday at 12:00 p.m.
4144 N Armenia Ave., Suite 300 Tampa
If you care about the future of this country, join us for a rally and meeting
to ask Representative Kathy Castor to pledge to vote no on Fast Track for the
egregious Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and all other trade bills that should
be debated under the regular legislative process. Fast Track would allow the
President to circumvent our Constitution which states "Congress shall make all
laws respecting trade." Fast Track would allow very little debate on the TPP,
which has been negotiated in total secret, and attacks labor, the environment,
and affordable medicines, among other targets.
Can you join us in Tampa on Thursday?

Pam Bondi Convalescence Home In Tampa
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

Right Wing Floridian
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.

what’s wrong with Florida?
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

Cocktails On Tampa's Riverwalk
The Tampa City Council on Thursday gave final approval to classifying the Hillsborough River walkway a “specialty center” and open-container area where visitors can carry beer, wine or mixed drinks on their stroll. here
Cool, great job City Council.
Two of our finest had this to say:
“We cannot legislate stupid,” Frank Suarez
“We are seeing a rebirth in this city, and we need to nurture that and keep it going.” Harry Cohen
Now lets do it in Ybor City.
Time For A Imperial President
"President Obama, with Congress refusing to act, I strongly support bold executive action on your part. Let the Republicans howl, but if they won't do their jobs, someone else has to." 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
