Rick Scott Doublespeak
Once again, Rick Scott owes George Orwell a debt of gratitude. Without the classic novel “1984” and its primer on political doublespeak, the governor’s State of the State speech this week would have been way more…let’s say transparent, since that’s a word repeatedly and ridiculously run through Scott’s Orwellian propaganda grinder recently. here
Florida Have You Signed The Petition?
The legislative session has started in Tallahassee - which means the clock is
ticking for medical marijuana in Florida.
In less than 60 days,
the legislature will either answer the call of 3.4 million Florida
voters - or they will have put full responsibility for passing
medical marijuana squarely back in the hands of us - United for
Care, you and the rest of our supporters will carry the burden of
fulfilling the will of the majority.
That's a big
responsibility, folks. And we aren't waiting:
We can't afford to.
The more we can collect through volunteer efforts
and online, the more money we'll have to fight the lies our
opposition is surely going to push out from here until election
day.
One of the reasons we fell short last year is because
so much of our money went to gathering petitions; money we could
have spent answering lies on the airwaves.
Tallahassee legislators are watching carefully to see if our intensity has
dropped. The harder we work, the more pressure they'll be under to pass a good,
clean medical marijuana bill that helps people now, not 18 months from
now.
Thank you for your continued support.
- Ben Pollara
P.S. f you've already signed the new petition, please forward
this email to everyone you know!!! If you've already done that, DO
IT AGAIN!!! And if you've already done that, please consider a donation to our petition efforts!
Ybor City going from tobacco to marijuana?
Ybor City: its very foundation is based on taking a plant, rolling it up, and then smoking it.
Of course, that plant was tobacco and for decades, Ybor's prime product was cigars.
But now a group called Common Bond Collaborative is ready to cut in on Ybor's historical tobacco ties with its own smokeable, agricultural product: marijuana. here
