I started this blog back in 2003 after seeing Howard Dean's courage in trying to stop US from going to war in Iraq and bring change to the Democratic Party. Here we are in 2017. Funny how I came across these 2 articles on the same day.

Howard Dean says it’s time for his generation of the Democratic Party to move over here

Millennial voters are the future of the your party and they don't like you. Keep doing the Same Old Shit, ignore The Signs and you will keep losing. But, you should be use to that by now.

The Islamic Society of Tampa Bay was kind enough to host a debate.

-----

Republican Lawrence McClure, Democrat Jose Vazquez, Libertarian Bryan Zemina and non-party-affiliated Ahmad Saadaldin are running in the election Dec. 19 to select a successor to Dan Raulerson, who stepped down from the seat in August due to health problems.

-----

The letter above was sent to the League of Women Voters for their audacity of hosting the debate at a mosque.

-----

The writer? CL Townsend, husband of the DEC Chair Ione Townsend and Jose Vazquez's campaign treasurer.

"The more my community gets involved, the more pushback we get. In. every. freaking. way. Then Democrats come kissing ass for money and votes and asking people to run as D's. And you wonder why some wont? The entire party leadership right now should be ashamed."

Tampa Mayoral Hopeful David Straz And The Bank Of Nevis

Part 1: David Straz, Tampa’s billionaire mayoral hopeful, is intentionally or not, boosting Nevis’ reputation as a safe harbor for international criminals.
