A Post For Millennials

1980-2000 - Millennials or Generation Y
Every where you look you read how Millennial are going to rule the world. Here at home you don't grasp the power you have. If you guys had voted for Amendment 2 last year we would be on our way to legalizing marijuana in the state of Florida right now, instead we have to do it all over again. John Morgan told you but you didn't listen. It is your future why are you letting a bunch of old people ruin it for you.  Check out this fact, in Hillsborough County there are 301,447 Democrats to 244,078 Republicans, 221,905 don't belong to any party at all. Which brings us to the issue of transit. This is your future, us old folks will all be dead and gone. Get involved

-----------
"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.”
