USA Is A Center Right Nation? Not!

Don't believe the hype. The American people are actually quite progressive.

Grayson Deserves Our Trust
While Mr. Murphy is a nice young man, he has accomplished little, nor does he seem to stand for much. We tried electing a former Republican for governor and you see how that worked out. I want a real Democrat that I can vote for. here

Rick Scott Wants To Jail The Vote

Politicians like Rick Scott, have used felon disenfranchisement to maintain power
In 2011, Scott overturned an executive order that had previously allowed felons to regain access to the ballot box after navigating a complicated process. The result is that the number of disenfranchised felons in 2010 in Florida (although data on ex-felons are difficult to come by) was 1,541,602. For comparison, in 2014, 6 million ballots were cast in the Florida midterm, and Scott won by a mere 66,127 votes. One study estimates that former felons would turn out at a rate of about 24 percent in a midterm election. Assuming that level of turnout in Florida, nearly 370,000 more people would have voted — possibly costing Scott his seat. here

A planned interstate expansion to 18 lanes through Tampa will move forward unless hundreds of citizens show up to fill the meeting room and object. Many historic buildings in neighborhoods along it's path will be leveled. This is not the Public Transit that citizens said they 
wanted through Imagine 2040.
