Everglades Is Most Critically Endangered Site in US

Ever since white people moved to Florida, the Everglades has been under almost relentless assault. After being drained and developed, polluted with fertilizers, and overrun by invasive species, it's no secret that today the vast wetland is on life support. more

Meet Greg
He is from Crystal River

Are Straz And Guido Even?

Guido said he let Straz use his name as a courtesy because Straz has supported Maniscalco in the past, letting him use Straz’s name in campaigns. source
"It’s not an endorsement or pledge of any kind."

Guido Maniscalco's Brilliant Idea

Wants to discuss the parking minimums/requirements in 
downtown Tampa.
-----
The discussion I am aiming for would be to see how we could reduce or adjust the minimum parking requirements in the central business district. This would perhaps spur some development with some vacant buildings and office spaces to allow for more residential downtown, etc.
-----
As I have seen with my generation and younger, not everyone wishes to or owns a car. Some folks prefer to ride a bike or walk or use alternative methods of transportation. 

This would perhaps increase the residential population and density downtown, creating more of a live, work, play urban environment. here
-----
NO MOSI or more attractions, 
 we want affordable housing.


Let the suburbanites rush to the burbs.



Some of us perfer to stay here!

Florida GOP Newest Scam

The Constitution Revision Commission was created a half-century ago just so you, the Florida voter, would have a chance every generation to consider major changes to how the state is run.
-----
The folks in charge of the commission were chosen almost entirely by the governor, Senate president and House speaker. 
-----
 The folks on one committee approved a potential amendment that would repeal a ban on sending taxpayer money directly to religious institutions, including private schools. 
-----
 The Legislature put a similar amendment on the ballot in 2012. And it was defeated by voters.
-----
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try to scam the voters again.

Local Candidates Beware Of Caviar And Champagne

Beware of candidates for public office that launch a well-publicized “listening tour.”  It signifies that they haven’t been paying attention to voters and are not likely to suddenly change and become interested  in Joe and Jill Lunchpail’s concerns.

Straz, became a billionaire by buying and selling banks,  owns six homes around the world and hobnobs locally with his caviar and champagne society pals. more

Free Puerto Rico

After Puerto Rico getzwell we need to separate from America completely that's step 1. Step 2 would be a mass Exodus of Puerto Ricans from America back to our home country. Step 3 a reward for any Puerto Rican that would come back they would be Promised Land seeds for growing and Financial recoup. 4 leave the multinational banking system. 5 Unite the Caribbean countries. Rebuild our own country without the help of America. Make a deal with China. Embargo American food products so that they can't get into the country of America. Make a tight commitment to Cuba and ask for the same for Puerto Rico. Same deal all of the Caribbeans will get. Ask of our people not to join the u.s. military for any reason even at the threat of your own life. we don't want Americas help in rebuilding our country they'll turn our country into resort for their shity children. Reject America's imperialistic belief systems completely for the sake of our own people.

Latino Take Over Of Florida

Trump’s poor handling of the tragic ongoing crisis in Puerto Rico is the acceleration of mass migration to the mainland, particularly Florida. The New York Times recently reported that well over 100,000 Puerto Ricans have already arrived in Florida, and well over 200,000 may arrive before election day next year. 
-----
The energized new Democratic voter registration groups that emerged after Hilary Clinton’s loss are already aggressively registering them to vote.
-----
While the Latino take over of Florida has been falsely reported more than once, now may really be the time.

Help Our Friend Bruce Wright

Bruce Wright has fallen on hard times. Any help you can provide him would be much appreciated. He is a committed, lifelong activist that works for the poor and oppressed communities. So few of us make the sacrifices to do this work because of the strain it can put on families financially, but Bruce is one that makes this sacrifice. here
