Ben Pollara: You Vote?

 "Moocher Mel Sembler has promised to collect $10 million of his friends' money to try and keep this medicine out of the hands of patients.  In 2014, Mel got a billionaire to put in $6 million, and it cost patients 2 years of suffering. We must raise millions between now and the end of Summer. We need to make sure voters throughout the state know why they should vote for Amendment 2. Don't assume they know already: This is, because of the presidential race, a larger pool of voters than in 2014." Ben Pollara

Who's responsible for this mess? The simple answer is the management group. But that's a cop-out. When you give a for-profit company access to taxpayer funds with minimal oversight, should you really be shocked when money is missing? here

Boycott Puerto Rican Summit In Orlando

For the last 7 years, the non-Boricua Dynamic Community Development Corporation of Miami has gotten away with benefiting from an an annual event in Orlando they call the Puerto Rican Summit. They charge corporations interested in targeting the large Boricua market between $5,000 and $10,000 to display their products and services at this annual Orlando two-day event. We cannot allow people to financially exploit the fact that we are a large and loyal consumer market. more

Florida: Shady Solar State

What do you call a super sunny state with regressive and oppressive solar policy, actively working to prevent the healthy development of this clean and affordable source of power? Ironic? Shameful? For those who love a good pun, perhaps “SHADY” is the best term.

----------

Center for Biological Diversity recently released a report outlining 10 sunny states that are working so hard to keep distributed (rooftop) solar from expanding, and the analysis explains how this unfortunate work is happening. here

Transgender Floridian Catherine Merchant

Catherine Merchant, a transgender woman from the Panhandle, was denied a name change by a state judge. Three years later, with the help of the ACLU of Florida, she won in her fight to have her legal name reflect who she is. This is her story in her own words: here
