Will Kathy Castor Vote For War?

Rep. Kathy Castor says she’s not ready to announce whether she supports the Iran nuclear deal, but will within the next week or so. here
-----------

"We hope Ms. Castor thinks about this carefully. This could be the most important vote of her career. With her base, If she votes for war, everything good that she has ever done will be forgotten. She will always be remembered for helping the war hawks take us into another senseless war. Her base will forget about her, we know we will. She will go the way of Gwen Graham and Patrick Murphy."

Free Lube For Florida GOP Voters

So for those incurably truculent in Tallahassee, here is the reality of what happened:

You cheated. You got caught. And now you're pouting. What's infuriating is their arrogance. These are elected officials who willfully ignored constitutional amendments passed by a vast majority of Florida voters, and now they want to blame the state Supreme Court for calling them out on it?

here

“I  believe at my core that the Florida Supreme Court has grossly overstepped its boundaries,”
 Rep. Dana Young

Sen. Tom Lee pouted that the court maybe violated his First Amendment rights and muttered darkly about hiring a 
personal lawyer.

"Redistricting does not, it’s fair to say, bring out the best in people."





Registered Democrats in Florida still outnumber registered Republicans by 400,000, yet Republicans hold 17 seats in Congress to the Dems’ 10. Some might say that ain’t exactly genuine representation.
----------

Remember the class size amendment? Ignored. We passed  “Polluter Pays,” demanding that Big Sugar and Big Ag clean up their Everglades mess, in 1996. Still waiting on that one. More than 75 percent of voters said yes to conservation land acquisition last year. The Legislature’s response was to blow off the will of the people. Again.

As for Fair Districts, in 2010, Floridians approved two constitutional amendments instructing the Legislature to create districts that made geographical 
and community sense.

Instead, its members cut secret deals and lied. here

For the folks that keep voting for these people, 
we got your back!

Why Are We Paying Rick Scott’s Legal Bills?

Rick Scott has shown time and time again that he thinks he’s above the law

 – and now he’s forcing us to pay for it.

Sign the petition demanding mega-millionaire Gov. Rick Scott pay his own legal fees for attempting to skirt Florida’s Sunshine Law.
----------

“Even for someone who has amply shown contempt for open government, Rick Scott's latest failure to play by the rules is outrageous.”

Miami Herald editorial, 8/10/15
----------

“It's easy to spend money — when it belongs to someone else. Just ask Gov. Rick Scott.”

John Kerry's Democracy In Cuba Idea

When President Cruz & 
Vice President Rubio

are crowned in 2017 we will hear no more of this nonsense about democracy. "We are a Republic not a democracy!". Obama's & Kerry's 21st Century "socialist" ideas will be scrapped immediately for a return to good old 19th century vulture capitalism. Those wealthy Cuban sugar barons who have been polluting the everglades & Florida Bay with the help of US taxpayer subsidies will reclaim their plantations in Cuba where they ...can use cheap peasant labor instead of those  lazy overpaid Haitians & Central Americans. 

Former casino owners will go back into business, underemployed women will get designer dresses & lots of work entertaining foreign tourists. Those polluting 50's junk heaps will be replaced by Uber operated Escalades & Mercedes w/ black glass. To eliminate voter fraud only caucasians w/ top secret security clearance, NRA GOLD CARDS & at least 6 homes in undisclosed locations will be certified by the secretary of state as elingible voters. And it will all be supported by a flat tax & a lottery.

Florida Dem. Corrine Brown Files Federal Lawsuit To Keep Her Job

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, whose Jacksonville to Orlando district would be overhauled in a redistricting proposal now before state lawmakers, filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday seeking 
to stop the change. here

-----------

Justices ruled that Brown’s north-south district was drawn largely to help Republicans retain overwhelming command of the state’s 27 congressional districts. The GOP holds a 17-10 edge over Democrats in Florida’s congressional delegation, despite there being about 500,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state.

FDOT Stealing Conch Republic Land

The Sunset Cove In Key Largo has been in business 65 years. It is the oldest motel on the island. One day the Florida Department of Transportation suddenly 

showed up at its door with a hell of a claim: Part of the resort, including the historic sign, was actually on state-owned land. As soon as possible, FDOT insisted, they must remove the sign and begin paying the state thousands of dollars in rent. here

Hillsborough County Beware: Jim Norman Is Plotting Again

He told Mitch Perry of SPB that he is plotting a comeback. Everything you thought you knew about what happened to him in 2010 is wrong. It was all the media's fault. He is fired up about setting the record straight. here 

“I’m embarrassed for our community that he’s even considering a run, as for me, I’m looking forward to holding him accountable for years of creating sprawl and turning his back on this county while enriching himself.” Pat Kemp

“I am out in the community meeting with voters and I consistently here that our community is ready for new ideas and new leadership, I am confident voters don’t want to go back to the days of investigations and accusations of corruption.” Brian Willis

“They will always remind you whatever challenges you have faced…so that will always be there, we all have a record, and so people have a tendency to remind us of our record, as well.” Tom Scott

Well said Mr. Scott, lets start now.

Also please note, Ronda Storms is also thinking about coming out of the shadows.

GOP Bullshit In Tampa Bay

See how the 14th District jumps across the bay for no apparent reason? Republicans did that because they knew if the cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg each got their own districts, there would be way too many Democratic-leaning African American and Latino voters for Republicans to stand a chance. here

So the GOP legislature made District 14 hop across the bay deliberately packing every minority voter they could find into just one district in order to virtually eliminate minorities' influence in the other.

Local Hero Al Fox In Ybor City

8.18.15 - 6:30pm

At CoWork Ybor, 1901 E. 7th Ave. 
Downtown Ybor City

Hillsborough County Young Democrats 
 will be hosting our local hero Al Fox President of the 
Alliance for Responsible Cuba Policy Foundation. 

It is suppose to be a deliberation between Mr. Fox 

 and Colonel Evelio Otero (US Air Force, Retired) 
about the future of Cuban relations. 
But with recent developments between the island and the US it could turn into a victory party for Mr. Fox.
