Jeb Bush's Voter Purge Part 2
Jeb Bush still doesn't have a good answer for his effort to purge Florida's voter rolls of convicted felons in 1999, the year before the infamous election in which several hundred Sunshine State votes would secure the presidency for his brother, George W. Bush. here

Kimberley A. Johnson's Letter To Bristol Palin
Dear Bristol Palin,
I heard you're dealing with another unplanned pregnancy. I feel for you. I don't think you're a whore or a slut though. However, you have been a hypocrite because you preach abstinence only. Evidently you weren't taking your own ignorant advice. Abstinence only works when you don't have sex - It's kind of tricky that way.
Liberals really aren't judging you for your sexcapades. Sex is fun and we think it's great! The people who are judging you and implying you're a dirty girl, well, that would be the radical religious right (your mom's crowd) .... and more specifically, Jeb Bush. Ol' Jebbers thinks you should be publicly shamed and that you need to find yourself a man. He's an asshole.
You might want to re-think political parties if you're going to keep sexing it up. Our side doesn't judge good sex - we celebrate it. We judge hypocrites who slut shame.
Something to think about.
Toodles, Kimberley
Florida's Culture Of Corruption
Florida’s federal lawmakers and their staffs took 103 privately sponsored trips in 2014 valued at more than $350,000. Foreign destinations included Sweden, Peru and Japan. In a number of cases, relatives came along and had their expenses covered. here
Topping the list was Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Jacksonville.
Other top travelers at a private group’s expense include
Rep.Ted Deutch, D-West Boca Raton ($20,713),
Sarasota's Rep Vern Buchanan
And Miami Cuban Mafia members
GOP Sen. Marco Rubio ($37,255),
GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami-Dade, ($36,084),
GOP Rep, Mario Diaz-Balart ($28,922), R-Miami-Dade

Mario (Frado) Diaz-Balart Is Out Of Touch And Should Be Out Of Office!
This past June 18th the House Appropriations Committee passed its FY 2016 Financial Services Appropriations bill. It contains three "Cuba-specific" prohibitions that were drafted by one of the most out-of-touch members of Congress - Mario Diaz-Balart. These prohibitions are a threat to the universally lauded advancements in U.S.-Cuba relations and seek to effectively end president Obama's highly successful "people-to-people" policy that has generated interest among all Americans to go to Cuba and see for themselves the devastating effects of the embargo. These measures will also hurt Cubans on the island who have benefited by the influx of tourism.
How can Diaz-Balart claim he is a champion for the Cuban people when 97% of them are in favor of normalization? His judgement is clouded by his family's involvement with Fulgencio Batista, a dictator who suspended democracy in Cuba. Regarding Cuba, it's personal with him and that long-standing vendetta is getting in the way of the inevitable process of normalization. here
WMNF Has A Long Road To Travel
WMNF has 65 hours of prime time programming and only 3 of those hours are by programmers of Color (African Americans and Muslim Americans).
The News program has been cut to 15 minutes and 5 of those are dedicated to NPR. How can we realistically cover a diverse community of some 4 million people with such little time?
We are demanding a one hour program with 5 minute reports on the environment, People of Color, housing/homelessness, foreclosures, poverty/food distribution, immigration, women's issues, etc.
We are also demanding integration of the staff of 15 with only two People of Color. Thank you for your support!
