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?

Brian Willis 2018

“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

Our Leader Susan Smith Speaks Out

Susan Smith, President of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, released the following statement on President-Elect Donald Trump's appointment of Breitbart Chairman Steve Bannon as Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor:
------------
"Do leaders and members of the Republican Party condone white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism? Unless they speak out strongly against the appointment of Steve Bannon as Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to the President, that is exactly what they are doing. Their party will forever be shamed by its ties to the extreme right wing agenda of the Alt-Right movement.
"As Chairman at Breitbart, Bannon has supported and encouraged deception, defamation, bigotry, and hatred. He is unfit to serve in a top position in the White House.
"We strongly urge Republicans to condemn this appointment and call for Donald Trump to withdraw it." Susan Smith
