Florida Vote No on Fracking Bills
NO on HB 1205/SB 1468 and HB 1209/SB 1582. These bills would allow more dangerous fracking in our state, and prevent Floridians from knowing what chemicals are being used in the process.

Recently it was revealed that three KKK members who worked for the Florida Department of Corrections were plotting to murder a black prisoner.
Students will rally at Florida State University’s Westcott Fountain at 7:00 p.m. and will then march to the steps of the Old Capitol. here

Support for medical marijuana, 84% among Florida voters
New poll came out that showed support for medical marijuana, in general,
has reached
has reached
84% among Florida voters.
While we're not surprised support is
increasing, we have to take these numbers with some caution - as we learned in
2014 there's a big difference between general support for the concept of medical
marijuana, and actual support for the ballot amendment itself. (Especially when
voters are being told outright lies by our well-funded opposition.) In fact, a
good number of our opponents last year - including two key spokespeople for the
No on 2 side - expressed support for medical marijuana in
general.
For that reason, we have to mobilize, right now -
projecting a reasonably close race. More (and younger) voters vote in
presidential years, and that will help us - but not to the tune of 84%.
Please help us by signing the petition, signing up as a volunteer, and contributing to our outreach so we can do in this
next election what legislature should be doing
right now!
right now!

Save The Friendship TrailBridge
The long-delayed demolition of the 58-year-old Friendship TrailBridge is back on track and could occur this year.
Die-hard defender Neil Cosentino, a member of the committee that saved the bridge from a wrecking ball in 1997, argued its structure is safe. Cosentino invited County Administrator Mike Merrill and commissioners to walk the bridge with him so he could prove its durability. “If we find anything wrong with the bridge, I’ll buy (Merrill) any dinner he wants at Bern’s Steak House,” Cosentino said. “I also invite commissioners to do the same after we take the first walk to make sure the bridge is safe.
I’m absolutely sure the bridge is safe.” here

The Citrus Taliban: Joshua Feuerstein
After a bakery in Casselberry, Florida, refused to decorate a cake with a anti-gay marriage message" they started to receive hundreds of hateful, threatening calls. Former TV evangelist Joshua Feuerstein posted a video of his call to YouTube and his own Facebook page, then encouraged his viewers and fans (of which there are apparently more than a million, because humans are terrible) to call Cut the Cake themselves and complain.
Shockingly,* hundreds of Feuerstein's viewers decided to take this as an opportunity to leave Cut the Cake hateful or threatening messages, calls which at last blush
were still ongoing.
were still ongoing.
