Obama attacks Warren

The #1 agenda item of corporate America is passing bad trade deals that hurt workers and were written by big corporations in secret.
It's sad that President Obama is their biggest ally and is now attacking Elizabeth Warren:

The trade proposal under consideration was written by giant corporations in secret. Warren pointed out that provisions (that were leaked) would allow corporations to overturn our nation's Wall Street reforms and other regulations. Obama has tried to belittle Warren with insults -- saying she's just wrong without actually disputing her core points. President Obama has never attacked Republican Leader Mitch McConnell the way he's attacking Elizabeth Warren. Will you stand up to big corporations and defend Warren?

Volusia County decorated war veteran will face trial for using medical marijuana

On May 18th, a decorated war veteran will face trial for using medical marijuana. Jared Hunter, desperate to save his own life when prescribed medications did not work, tried marijuana, and now he faces a jury trial in Volusia County before the Honorable Terence R. Perkins. here

“It is appalling that a man who risked his life to serve our country and protect our freedoms now has to fight for his freedom because he chose to use medical marijuana to treat his PTSD. PTSD is a debilitating condition specifically listed on the new petition, so when this passes dedicated soldiers such as Mr. Hunter will have the ability to go to their doctor and receive a recommendation for medical marijuana." Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager with United for Care.

Happy Mothers Day


I saw this woman on a sidewalk yesterday morning. On my way home she was still there. I stopped and asked her didn't she have somewhere to go. She told me she was in the hospital but they could not find anything wrong with her. She said law enforcement took all her money and dumped her there. I asked didn't she have any children that could take care of her. She said she didn't need any help and that god would take care of her. I gave her a few dollars and left. The second pic is of where we think she sleeps. On the sidewalk in front of a closed store. We don't believe, but at times like these we wish The Crist did come back and kick some fucking ass.

We Don't Care What Steve Schale Has To Say

On CNN: "It would certainly be better to not have him in the race,(Grayson) tends to sort of rely on hyperbole and invective, and I'm not sure that's the kind of primary which is healthy for us. I think it's a center-right state, I think he is not electable in a general and I think he has the ability to create a pretty divisive primary if he runs," here

Rick Scott admits he used dead mother in campaign as a sham

[In 2013] Scott said his mother's death changed his perspective and he could no longer "in good conscience" oppose expanding health care coverage to nearly 1 million Floridians.

Scott conceded this week that was all a ruse. He now says his support for Medicaid expansion was a calculated move designed to win support from the Obama administration for the state's proposal to hand over control of Medicaid to private insurance companies. At the time, he denied that his support was tied to a deal with the federal government. here

Thank you Rep. Kathy Castor for supporting medical marijuana

The U.S. House voted against allowing Veterans Administration (VA) doctors to discuss and recommend medical marijuana to their patients in states where it is legal. But despite the narrow defeat, Kathy Castor voted the right way! Thank your Representative for voting in favor of veteran access to medical marijuana and tell them to support the CARERS Act.
