Floridians Defeat The Florida Frackers

Thanks to Floridians like you, communities throughout our state will be able to protect their land and water by banning fracking. Earlier today, the sponsor of the dangerous fracking bill, 

Florida Fracker Garrett Richter withdrew SB 318 from the Senate Appropriations Committee saying 
"I didn't have the votes."
Give yourselves a hand Florida. This didn't happen by accident. Thousands of Floridians from every corner of our state spoke loudly and clearly, putting daily pressure on their elected representatives in the legislature. It worked. here

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Is Working For The Other Side

Payday lenders have been gunning for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since the day President Barack Obama tapped Elizabeth Warren to set up the new agency. As the CFPB has moved closer to adopting new rules to shield families from predatory lending, the GOP has assailed the agency from every conceivable angle -- going after its budget, attempting to tie its hands with new layers of red tape and Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would gut the CFPB's forthcoming payday loan regulations. She's also attempting to gin up Democratic support for the legislation on Capitol Hill. here

counties your chance to rid yourselves of your Right Wing Infestation.

Check out this guy:

* He established and runs the Haiti Recovery & Development Co., a nonprofit he created shortly after learning about the devastating earthquake there that killed nearly 300,000 people more than six years ago.
----------

* His stance on immigration, he refers to his American Indian heritage to guide his path (his mother was of Choctaw descent). “Immigration without restrictions didn’t work out very well for us, but as an American at this moment in time in 2016, I am not going to take any stance that says I’m running 12 million people out of the country,” he said. “If we can put a probe on Mars, we can figure out a way to path you to citizenship.”
----------

* He expressed disappointment about Washington lawmakers’ hesitancy to allow Syrian refugees to enter the U.S. PresidentBarack Obama has said he would like to bring in at least 10,000 over the next year, saying he’s confident in the vetting process.

* And,  he supports “common sense reforms” such as removing cannabis from the Controlled Substance act. here

Pediatrician Silenced’ By Rick Scott

Sixteen people traveled to the Florida Capitol last week to testify on Gov. Rick Scott's Department of Health secretary and state surgeon general nominee John Armstrong but none was given the chance. Now at least one advocate has taken steps to make sure he gets heard. here

“It’s not really a democracy the way they do it,” said Tallahassee pediatrician Louis St Petery who wanted to share with members of the Senate Committee on Health Policy concerns he has with the direction of programs like Children’s Medical Services under Armstrong’s leadership. “What can you say? That’s the way they run the show.”

Laila's Elevator Ride In Tallahassee

I was in an elevator with several members of the Florida House. We had just gotten out of a committee hearing that passed the ludicrously unconstitutional anti-refugee bill (whose premise, may I add, is entirely bigoted and Islamophobic) and a Representative that should damn well know better walked into the elevator and jokingly hesitated while looking at me, "Oh, is it safe to ride the elevator with you." Everyone laughed. Every single one of them laughed (Democrat, Republican, white, black, old, young) as I was belittled with a wildly inappropriate remark that because I'm a Muslim this Representative should be afraid to ride in an elevator with me. It's not funny. It hurts. 

Florida, nothing about our legislature reflects our amazing communities, my warm and loving neighbors and friends, and our Florida that I and many others fight for every single day. It's far past time that we take it seriously that the large majority of the 120 members of the House entrusted with the responsibility to govern and lead, are not fit to lead and are certainly not fit to govern. 

Please help me get all of this

disconnected, bigoted, small minded, pos legislators out of office.

Oh, and on being an "ally": an ally, in moments such as today says, "Representative, that is not funny, it is offensive, please apologize." That's what it means to be a leader. That's what you should do when someone is belittled in your presence. Laila Abdelaziz
