A love letter from Dezeray

A love letter to the Muslim community of Tampa. By Dezeray Lyn 
-----
"A love letter from Dezeray, who along with Jimmy, and Torrie, Bruce, Syd and Rev. Russell have the biggest hearts I've ever known. They do it for love." 
Donna L. Davis

Ms. Davis we feel the same way!

Donna Davis Lowes Adventure

"At Lowe's, the line is through the store just to look for ply wood. My girl and I found a bunch of wood on a top shelf. Nobody could reach it so with the help of another family, we were able to stand on the second shelf and take wood down, distributing to everyone in line. Everyone there worked together to distribute to families as needed and the line dissipated. 

Many folks stayed to help carry wood to the line and load it onto carts to pay. Lowe's called the cops on us. We had to leave the store before they found us. I'm just hoping the families we gave the wood to were able to leave with theirs as we could not." Donna L. Davis

Banana Republican Marco Rubio

Rubio voted against Sandy aid in 2013. Now he wants money for Irma. here

 In 2013, Rubio was one of 36 Republican senators who voted against a Hurricane Sandy relief bill for New Jersey and New York, and now his South Florida colleagues hope he has learned a lesson.
“You can be a fiscal conservative until it hits you and your community and then you have a different point of view,” said Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

The Susan Smith Wing Of The Florida Democratic Party

January 5, 1999
Was the last time a Democrat sat in the governors office. The great Buddy McKay. Since then:

January 5, 1999
Florida GOP Jeb Bush
DEM OPPORTENT? -  Buddy MacKay
---
 November 7, 2006
Florida GOP Charlie Crist
DEM OPPORTENT? - Jim Davis
We could of had Rod Smith
---
January 4, 2011
Florida GOP Rick Scott
DEM OPPORTENT? - Alex Sink
---
January 8, 2014
Florida GOP Rick Scott
ExGOP OPPORTENT? - Charlie Crist
We could of had Nan Rich. Please note:  As of early June 2014, Scott had spent almost $13m since March on television adverts attacking Charlie Crist,  Although the ads resulted in a tightening of the race, this came about by decreasing Crist's favorability ratings. By contrast, Scott's favorability ratings did not increase. Scott should of been beaten. The Dems had a inferior candidate, with Nan Rich they probably would of won.

2018 DEM OPPORTENT  Gwen Graham?
Check out our choice for governor
in Seminole Heights Andrew Gillum here

Also note: On list, 3 corporate Dems and 1 ex GOP. You have tried it their way for a very long time, and look where you are. If you are tired of loosing then you have to reclaim the party. Bernie started it, you must finish it.

There are alot of groups out there that say they are progressive. But if you want to take the party back from corporate power The Susan Smith wing of the party is the place to start. With Susan Smith leading the way and talented committed progressives surrounding her.

Florida Pro-Dems, this is your time! 
The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Tampa Bay 


TAKING BACK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
