Americans vote for the party that got them into the mess that Obama just dug them out of?

Consider, right now in America, corporate profits are at record highs, the country’s adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6%, U.S. gross national product growth is the best of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries The stock market is near record highs, gasoline prices are falling, there’s no inflation, interest rates are the lowest in 30 years, U.S. oil imports are declining, U.S. oil production is rapidly increasing, the deficit is rapidly declining, and the wealthy are still making astonishing amounts of money. here

Hillsborough County Tea Party Leader Sharon Calvert

In an email sent to voters yesterday she asks them to fill out a form to send a stern message to officials in Hillsborough County. “Let your Hillsborough County elected officials know that it’s still “NO” on having an 8% sales tax in Hillsborough County,” Calvert wrote. here

We ask that you do the opposite, tell the Hillsborough County Commission that you want a  referendum on the 2016 ballot. Join the discussion at 6:30 p.m. November 19 at Holy Hog in Downtown Tampa to talk about how to move Hillsborough forward despite early opposition.

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?

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
