clean and healthy
beaches and marshes. here

Tampa Right Wing Attacks
Tampa tea party founder Sharon Calvert and conservative activist Sam Rashid have been relentless in their attacks on the Go Hillsborough transportation initiative, suggesting that rampant cronyism influenced the spending of $1.35 million in public funds.

But when county sheriff’s investigators last year asked Calvert and Rashid for evidence of wrong-doing, the critics came up empty. “Investigators asked if they had facts to support their claims and allegations but they had none to provide,” investigators said in records released Monday. here

They hid the Democratic ballots
in a closet.
in a closet.
Theresa Wibert of Polk County was shocked to arrive at her polling station only to be handed a Republican ballot – and then told that Democrats couldn’t vote there. “The boss came over and said we could vote for Republicans only,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it. I told them I wasn’t leaving … It sure wasn’t politically correct. We pushed it a little further and the lady called a few people. Finally, she looked in the bottom of a closet and found a box with the Democratic ballots. here
Susan Smith Wing Of The Florida Democratic Party
"It's depressing how little the Florida Legislature (controlled by Republicans) cares about issues that impact the lives of working people. They only want to protect the interests of big business while coddling right wing religious nuts."

Not enough old white guys.
The Republican Party has a demographics problem. A recent analysis found that while GOP frontrunner Donald Trump may be energizing a subset of white male voters who normally don’t participate in politics, he is driving away the very groups Republicans need to win the White House this fall: young people, women, naturalized immigrants, Latinos, and blue collar workers.
