Florida One-Term Wonders
David Jolly, FL-13.
Tag Team says Whoomp! (There It Is), and they may be back again, but David Jolly won’t be in 2016. In 2012, President Obama carried this district with more than 50 percent of the vote. Jolly has already tried to deceive Florida voters, claiming he wasn’t a lobbyist when his own paperwork clearly said he was. We’re sure he’ll try to deceive them again when voters hold him accountable for being willing to risk Social Security in the stock market. more
Carlos Curbelo – “Hey Mikey” might blow Floridians’ minds, but Carlos Curbelo will surely be a disappointment. We will make sure voters know that Curbelo has a long record of voting to approve contracts for his campaign donors, while supporting a budget that slashed hundreds of good-paying jobs for middle class families in his district. Curbelo even recently endorsed Republicans suing President Obama to stop immigration reform action. more

We’ll also be fighting for new laws that look to expand freedoms for all Floridians. We’re excited about the work we’ll be doing and want to share just a glimpse of what’s to come. here
- The practice of charging kids with adult crimes.
- Ending Florida’s infamous and shameful practice of sending people to death row on a simple majority vote of a jury.
- Reforming Florida’s prison system.
Florida Joins The Pitbull Party
The enduring hunt for Republican celebrities has its newest viable target: Pitbull. Latino Republicans in Florida GOP has made overtures to the Cuban-American star to join the party and support its candidates. Rick Scott and Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado recently showered him with gifts and praise, giving him the key to the city and declaring his birthday, Jan. 15, “Pitbull Day.” Scott also bestowed the title of Ambassador of the Arts on him. here
“I’m not here to be part of any political party,” Pitbull said in a statement. “I’m here to bring political parties to my party because they can’t, they won’t they never will, stop the Pitbull party

Florida for Care Cautious to Support HB 683
While Florida for Care applauds the filing of House Bill 683 by Rep. Greg
Steube (R-D373), there are serious reservations regarding its provisions, which
are far more restrictive than its Senate companion bill SB528. “We are
encouraged to see this companion bill filed by Rep. Steube. However, the
exclusion of qualifying symptoms - in addition to qualifying diseases - and the
prohibition on a patient’s ability to consume their medicine as recommended by a
doctor is alarming.", said Ben Pollara, Executive Director of Florida for Care. here

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Baileygate
Demand An Independent Investigation Into "Baileygate"
We’re just weeks into Gov. Rick Scott’s second term, and he’s already caught up in a major scandal. First it was reported that Scott lied about his firing of Florida’s top cop, longtime Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Commissioner Gerald Bailey. Now it appears that the firing was politically motivated and that Scott violated both state and federal law. here
Florida To Imprison Trans People for Using Public Bathrooms
Florida’s bigoted legislators are proposing one of the most viciously sadistic, hypocritical bills the legislature has ever considered. The basic purpose of the bill is quite simple: to forbid trans people from using the public bathroom that matches their true gender. According to the bill’s text, any trans person who enters a “single-sex public facility” that doesn’t match their “biological sex” is guilty of a first- degree misdemeanor. here
