SHRIMP DOCKS KITTY RESCUE PROJECT
Made good progress on the kitty condo yesterday. Stopped by the docks today to check on everyone and a fisherman told me of a crazy man that worked out there a year ago that was threatening to kill the cats with a crowbar! It is no wonder why my blood pressure is high between this and the stories in the news. It just drives me to do what I am doing...I just wish it could be done sooner.
In the meantime, Houlihan is adjusting well at my home and Diesel and Bobby T have become friends...here

United for Care: why you should care
You may never have smoked it or know anyone that has.
But chances are, you know someone that will have the kind of serious, debilitating medical condition that could be helped, or alleviated somewhat, by medical marijuana. The science is there. That medical marijuana helps people was largely undisputed in the last election.
If someone close to you has or unfortunately develops cancer, glaucoma, epilepsy, ALS, MS, severe neuropathic pain, PTSD, AIDS, or similar ailments - they may benefit from having access.We are fighting for that access in both the state legislature and on the streets.
Please help us fund this fight. If we're going to fight it out again on Election Day, 2016, we need to raise $10 million between now and then.
We can't rely on big donors alone. Even $25, $50, and $100 donations kept us close. We need your help again. Please help us fund the fight for medical marijuana
by contributing today.
If you haven't yet signed the new petition, please click here.

Tell AG Bondi: Withdraw Florida from partisan lawsuit attacking immigrants!
With Republicans in Congress failing to pass immigration reform, President Obama was forced to act on his own. Now immigrant families will soon have a chance to come forward and register, get permits to work legally and contribute to our system, and finally get a chance to live without the daily fear of deportation.
But rather than embracing immigrants, AG Bondi joined in a partisan lawsuit against the federal government over the President’s program. here

Take Action To Save The Everglades From Big Sugar
It’s time to protect our water by ending the deadlock on Everglades restoration once and for all. What has been called "the most critical piece of land ever for Everglades restoration" could be bought this year, but Big Sugar, who agreed to sell this land to the public in 2010, is trying to run out the clock, hoping you won’t notice.
Sign the petition to the Florida Legislature today and tell them to buy this critical land south of Lake Okeechobee. We can help save the Everglades from Big Sugar and protect Florida’s drinking water all at the same time. here
