The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida Endorse Mayor Rick Kriseman
Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida President Susan Smith and Pinellas County Democratic Progressive Caucus President Amos Miers have released the following statement:
The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida (DPCF) and the Pinellas County Democratic Progressive Caucus (PCDPC) are pleased to endorse Mayor Rick Kriseman for re-election as mayor of St. Petersburg.
Mayor Kriseman has supported and worked for increased wages for city employees, better policing practices, and common-sense gun safety regulations. He has also agreed to sign the Defend Our Democracy ordinance to lessen the influence of big money in politics if it is passed by City Council.
"When we re-elect Mayor Kriseman, our city will continue to be an inclusive and welcoming place that attracts a diverse population and socially-responsible businesses," said President Miers.
Smith recalled, "Since his days as a state representative when he was named a Middle Class Champion, Mayor Kriseman has fought for the rights of working families, women, and minorities."
The DPCF and PCDPC proudly endorse Rick Kriseman for Mayor of St. Petersburg.

Florida GOP Ted Yoho Is Packing
He loves the idea of bringing a gun to work.
-------------------------------------
He can’t do it right now. Congressional lawmakers have to apply for a D.C.-specific permit if they want to be armed in the city.
But they are working on that.
-------------------------------------
For Yoho, carrying a concealed gun is just like having a cell phone in his pocket. He’s usually armed when he’s home, and he was packing at a recent constituent event in his northern Florida district. here

The Idea World: Tristan Da Cunha
2,567 Miles from Buenos Aires
2,090 from Cape Town
In 1877 William Glass established a settlement based on equality. All Tristan families are farmers, owning their own stock and/or fishing. All land is communally owned. All households have plots of land at The Patches on which they grow potatoes. Livestock numbers are strictly controlled to conserve pasture and to prevent better-off families from accumulating wealth. Unless the community votes for a change in its law, no outsiders are allowed to buy land or settle on Tristan; theoretically the whole island would have to be put up for sale. her

Florida GOP Marco Rubio Could Cost Florida 78,000 Jobs, $8 Billion From State Economy
Florida GOP Marco Rubio seems likely to vote for the Senate's Obamacare replacement that effectively puts poor people through a meat grinder and turns them into Soylent. Both the Senate and House plans sharply cut Medicaid funding for the poor while giving rich people massive tax cuts, and are among the least popular bills in American history, according to recent polls. here

Florida GOP Marco Rubio Will Never Ever Support Government-Run Health Care
Rubio logged onto Twitter to tell his constituents that he'll never, ever support "government-run" health care, a stance that should surprise nobody in light of the fact that Rubio has taken more than $2.5 million in combined donations from health care, pharmaceutical, and insurance companies since he first ran for Senate in 2010, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Nothing motivates quite like a few million bucks. here
