Florida GOP Politicians Who Only Defend Certain Parts Of The Constitution
Take the Second Amendment:
"He has waged war on the Constitution," Sen. Marco Rubio said when President Barack Obama proposed background checks for guns bought online or at gun shows.
----------
"We have seen yet again that we have a president who does not think the law, or the Constitution, applies to him," Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera said of Obama's background checks.
----------
"Our right to bear arms is enshrined in our U.S. Constitution," Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam felt the need to point out in a news release following Obama's proposal.
----------
"Some on the left believe the Second Amendment is negotiable, flexible — even forgettable. I don't," Panhandle congressman Matt Gaetz once wrote in an opinion piece. "Our founders understood that America's strength comes from empowering citizens, not government."
----------
Nice stuff gentlemen, but what about the
First Amendment? here

Puerto Ricans Coming To Save Florida
I am not very politically savvy, but that could mean we are 90 days away from the Florida Legislature going from Republican to Democratic for a long, long time.
And that’s because Puerto Ricans will vote — and they will likely vote most Republicans out of office. here

Why Florida Needs Bail Reform
Florida taxpayers spend well over $1 billion per year keeping people locked up in county jails. Many of these people are low level offenders who simply can’t afford bail. Some of them are awaiting trial and haven’t been convicted of a crime.

The Florida Democratic Party’s Amazing Display Of Incompetence
-----
-----
A Dem named Paul Chandler filed on his own. The GOP accused him of being ineligible to run. Democrats urged him to drop out of the race — and called him “malicious” when he didn’t. Chandler did finally drop out, but only after his name had been printed on all the ballots. So when a brave replacement finally stepped up, he didn’t have money, time — or even his own name on the ballot. Yet despite all that — 44 percent of voters still voted Democratic.
-----
This is why Democrats keep losing. Because, while rallies, protests and petitions are great for rallying the troops,
if you don’t
if you don’t
give them candidates to rally behind, you simply can’t win.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Jose Oliva
On Aug. 18 he received a $100,000 check from U.S. Sugar.
----------------------
What does U.S. Sugar expect in return for this investment? He is expected to be the next speaker if the GOP retains the majority in the Florida House.
----------------------
.Sugar has aggressively fought the push to force agricultural interests to relinquish some of their land to build a water-storage reservoir in the Everglades Agricultural Area. It relied on the House and the governor to weaken the proposal last session, and succeeded.
----------------------
The mega-check was not all that unusual.
$100,000 check to Rick Scott

The Green Party Of Tampa's Council Has Failed Us
Less than five people attend the green party meetings. Ahmad Saadaldin is the hierarchy behind all of this. In order for the green party of Tampa to be a real party of revolution for the people. (not just the upper-class) we must change the council!! their failure to care for the community's in which I had to battle them to even attend marches! So if you really care about the green party of Tampa and you want to change this corrupt Council then let's do it!
we must attend the next meetings in Mass! We will protest against their gross incompetence and downright neglect of the communities that need us the most. until the council members are removed from their office and real revolutionaries are voted in through consensus, not just placed in power.They must either resign peacefully. will you fight for a third party.
I have given all I have to this group and the only thing I have received is resistance to the plate of homelessness and many other issues in which they show no regards. I will not give up!!!! Let's do what's right for the green party as a whole! . Please message me this cannot go any further. Your brother
