Miami Rally to End Marijuana Prohibition
This is a free rally to end prohibition of marijuana. The State of Florida is wasting tax dollars by incarcerating non violent offenders with a little bit of pot. Free up our jails, make tax money and put an end to this war! How many have been killed by smoking God's plant? NONE!
Bring your friends, signs, and peace. This is a peaceful rally that will start at 10:00 am! See you there!

We Want Alan Grayson
Progressives are clearly looking for a bold champion who will inspire and engage voters.
We can’t afford to run former Republicans or corporate Democrats who consider themselves “centrists” but who are really “Republican lite.” If we do that, we lose.”
Neither Murphy nor Tallahassee area Rep. Gwen Graham fit the qualifications of what progressives are looking for in a candidate. here
Florida GOP running out the clock
I wouldn't trust a politician to be in control of my medical decisions - but
that's exactly what's happening in Tallahassee.
Instead of giving physicians the right to do what they think is best for their patients, they're obstructing access to medical marijuana, making it impossible for doctors to truly fulfill their oath.
This obstruction, right now, is coming in the
form of running out the clock. And in 36 days, should legislature end without a
bill, it means an automatic 2 year delay (minimum) before we can pass it at the
ballot box and get legislature to implement.
Over 3.4 million Florida voters said they
wanted medical marijuana - and that
will should not be denied by a couple of
hundred legislators in Tallahassee.
I'm going to do what I can to get this done sooner, and if not,
I'm going to do what I can to get this done sooner, and if not,
I'm going to help get it passed in 2016.
In the meantime, can you make a small donation to United for
Care, make this campaign stronger, and help us keep the pressure on
Tallahassee?
We
can, and will, get this done. But so many people would benefit if it gets done
sooner.

Ronda Storms Day In Ybor City
Tampa's Pride used to hold the distinction of the state's largest LGBT pride event. From 2005 to 2013, Hillsborough County enforced a ban on acknowledging, participating or promoting anything to do with gay pride events. The ban was spearheaded by then-County Commissioner Ronda Storms and wasn't repealed until after citizens elected Kevin Beckner, Hillsborough County's first openly gay commissioner. here

Floridians Not Big On Bush, Rubio White House Bids
Floridians aren't very excited about the prospect of either Jeb Bush or
Marco Rubio running for President, and Hillary Clinton leads the entire field of potential
GOP candidates in the state. here
Only 37% of Florida voters think Jeb Bush should run for President, to 52% who say they think he shouldn't. The numbers for Marco Rubio on that front are almost identical- 35% say he should run to 51% who believe he should sit it out. The lack of enthusiasm for either Bush or Rubio making a White House bid is at least partially a function of their not being terribly popular. 45% of voters approve of the job Rubio is doing as a Senator to 40% who disapprove. Bush's favorability numbers are similar with 45% giving him good marks to 42% with a negative opinion.
