Florida INC. One Billion Dollar Rate Hike

We have just a week to stop Florida Power and Light's (FPL) rate hike request for unnecessary power plants that burn fracked gas.

On November 29, the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) will decide whether to allow the rate hike requested by FPL, which includes more than  one billion dollars' worth of power plants that will soon be  obsolete as FPL itself expects solar power and batteries to out-compete plants that burn gas.

As FPL showed by spending millions of dollars to support Amendment 1 and thwart the growth of rooftop solar, FPL will stop at almost nothing to put its profits before people -- whether it's stunting the clean energy economy in the Sunshine state, or needlessly increasing the state's reliance on fracked gas. Fortunately, Florida voters saw through the charade last week and voted down Amendment 1.

Don't let FPL put its profits ahead of your health, our economy and the environment.

Call the PSC today at 1-800-342-3552  to let them know you oppose FPL's rate hike request for unnecessary gas plants.

The Blame Game Begins - And Debbie Wasserman Schultz Goes First

The Democrats put up a terribly flawed candidate instead of a true Progressive (Bernie), and they were destroyed in the general election. There's plenty of blame to go around, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz deserves most of it.

The Day The American Left Became Muslims

"So I pledge to you right here and now, because I care about the fight against anti-Semitism, that if one day in these United States, if one day Muslim-Americans will be forced to register their identities, then that is the day that this proud Jew will register as a Muslim." David Nir

As Jews, we know the righteous and just response. All of us have heard the story of the Danish king who said if his country’s Jews had to wear a gold star … all of Denmark would too.

We are in, are you?

“I’m interested in service and I think we need good people running, and if an opportunity is there, I’ll think about running again, It’s been a great experience and I really enjoyed it and meeting people and getting out there and talking about issues, and if I’m fortunate enough to get the opportunity again, if it’s the right time, 
I’ll definitely consider it.”

Declare Tampa A Sanctuary City

Trump has said he will deport millions, and anti-immigrant harassment is already out of control. It is time to declare America’s cities as sanctuaries of safety and not allow local police to do the work of immigration agents. If your city is not already, declare it a sanctuary city. And if it is, commit to do everything in your power to maintain your sanctuary status and protect your undocumented residents from a Trump administration. here
