The Florida Public Education Trainwreck Bill
Purposely tucked in to a huge education bill with a handful of good proposals, HB 7055 has a number of highly destructive measures. HB 7055 includes a partisan attack on Florida's teachers and their union and an expansion of private school vouchers.
-----
Call your Florida state legislators today and tell them to oppose HB 7055: a shameless bill designed to weaken our local public schools. here

Ed Turanchik For Mayor Of Tampa
-----
"Tampa politics have been trending towards pragmatic, passionate, and sincere leaders. Men and women who can respond to our immediate needs while keeping an eye on the future wellbeing of everyone. These visionaries recognize how much our broken transit system has hamstrung our growth, how crucial it is for Tampa's people and economy to preserve our environment, and how essential it is that our government invest its energy correctly, not merely on pet projects and the same old failed ideas. When I say these words, I think of Commissioner Patricia Kemp, Candidate Mariella Smith, and, last but certainly not least, my father, Ed Turanchik."John Winston Turanchik
Florida GOP Matt Gaetz Invites Alt-Right Troll To SOTU
Chuck Johnson is a alt-right troll who’s been banned from Twitter and accused of Holocaust denying and white nationalism.
-----
“I had no idea who he was,” Gaetz said. Why would you invite someone you don't know to something like this? Even after Gaetz found out who he was he decided not to pull his ticket to Trump’s speech.
-----
Johnson said he loves what he hears from Gaetz. “I like weird guys with a fuck-you attitude. And Matt Gaetz is one of those dudes,” said Johnson here
Victor Crist New Spokesperson For Trader Joe's?
Wouldn't it be great to have a Trader Joe's in the north end of our county in Carrollwood
Trader Joe's website has a page devoted to soliciting recommendations for new store locations. I believe a new store on the SW corner of West Village Drive and Ehrlich Road would be a fantastic addition to the Carrollwood community. A Trader Joe's store could add a new dimension to the shopping needs of the area and fill a void in an empty shopping center that has been the focal point of contentious redevelopment plans. I have personally reached out to Trader Joe's in the past and now believe that with strong community input and support, we can get serious consideration. If you feel strongly for the addition of a good neighborhood partner and positive economic impact in the Carrollwood area, please consider going to the Trader Joe's website (link provided below) and adding your comments.
This is what I wrote:
There is perfect site in Carrollwood on the SW corner of Ehrlich Road and West Village Drive in Tampa Florida. Plenty of parking, a large available site and easy access. The thousands of nearby neighbors would be strong supporters. Please feel free to contact me as I would like to make a stronger pitch and let you know about our community. Please visit our website at http://www.carrollwoodvillage.com. Thank you for your consideration

Florida Progressive Dems Beware
You have a big gubernatorial election coming up this year. Beware of Corporate Democrats. They are like The Borg, they assimilate you and there is no way back. They always want to work together but always in their collective. It has already started, stand your ground. Remember history is on your side.
------
Most Progressives already assimilated are lost, we might or we might not be able to bring them back. Enlarge your Hive, recruit NPA's and Greens to become Democrats to be able to vote in the primaries.

Florida GOP On Trump's Speech
“Tonight, President Trump shared that the State of the Union is strong, thanks to regulatory rollbacks, a forecast of regulatory certainty, and the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As promised, this administration has made it clear America is open for business — and the results are clear." Daniel Webster
-----
“President Trump has accomplished much in his first year ever as an elected official. Our economy is booming and capital investment is high. The stock market has taken off. We’ve reformed the tax code so Americans can keep more of their own money." Dennis Ross
-----
“I applaud President Trump’s bold and enthusiastic State of the Union address. He rightly focused on the undeniable economic revitalization that has been cultivated as a result of the pro-growth environment we have created by passing historic tax reform to help middle class Americans and small businesses and the regulatory relief measures that have been signed into law over the last year."

Walking While Wearing A Hoodie In Tampa
Robert Washington was walking home from a convenience store to eat a sandwich one hot July evening. This should have been without incident. However, a Tampa Police Officer staked him out
and then followed him.
and then followed him.
---
She pursued him and demanded his time and attention, to which he, within his rights, said No! Robert just wanted to go home and eat his sandwich in peace. However, the police officer could not take no for an answer. She continued to harass Robert--but Robert stood his ground and would not let her take up any more of his time. That's when she told him she needed to speak with him because "he was wearing a hoodie" and "looked like somebody".
---
As he attempted to enter his own home, he was attacked by several police officers, who brutally took him down and arrested him.

Fake News: California Becomes A Country
California has voted to leave the United States and become their own country. With the 5th largest economy in the world it is excepting anyone wishing to contribute to their booming economy. The news has spread quickly and all roads leading into the new country are packed. Vehicles from as far away as Florida and Maine have been spotted. They are offering citizenship to anyone who applies within the next 60 days before the borders are sealed.
Floridians Hold Your Nose And Join The Democratic Party

Florida being a closed primary state you must vote in the primaries to put him on the ballot. You can always go back. You can do it here

Florida GOP Smells The End
The Florida GOP is smelling the mass termination of republicanism in Tallahassee in November and is doing every thing they can to protect their corporate clients before the exodus.
They have proposed a constitutional amendment that would require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to increase statewide taxes and fees. They want to put the question on the November ballot.
Our next governor Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum wants to raise corporate income taxes from 5.5 percent to 7.75 percent, which he says would give about $1 billion to education.
“Republicans know a blue wave is coming in Florida, and when we're in charge that three decades of corporate tax loopholes will be closed so we can properly fund public schools, expand affordable health care and improve job opportunities and wages," Gillum said. here

Exposing Carlos Curbelo
The Miami press is making much noise about the Congressional Hispanic Caucus rejecting entry to Florida's Congressman Carlos Curbelo, and instead accepting Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Democratic opponent for Curbelo's Congressional seat in 2018. The claim from the Miami Herald and its Spanish language counterpart "El Nuevo Herald" is that all Hispanics should be allowed to become part of the Caucus. No matter if what you stand for goes against the basic interests of the Hispanic community.
Even though, Curbelo has cultivated an image of being a moderate in reality he is far from what he claims to be. For example, Curbelo voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) even though in his Congressional District Florida's 26, 20 percent of its non-elderly population is enrolled in the ACA and he voted in favor of that monstrosity once-called Trumpcare. The Caucus is correct in rejecting Curbelo's entry. Being a member of the Caucus it should be to further the interests of Hispanic people not to undermine them. If Curbelo had taken a position against Trumpcare like Republican Senator Susan Collins from Maine did then I could see merit on the complaint. Curbelo's moderation should also be called into question when he decided to vote for Trump's tax cuts.
Working hard at exposing Curbelo should also be a major task for Democrats in his Congressional District. There is no reason for Curbelo to be holding a seat in a District that it's majority are Democrats. Curbelo's District is the nation's District where Democrats are the largest majority that has a Republican Congressman.
The "Moderate" Curbelo has voted with the Republican Party on 86.3 of the time so far. He has also voted with President Trump's position 83.6 of the time. And one of those votes against Trump, the TPP ratification, most progressives were agreeing with Trump. Curbelo has cultivated well his moderate reputation, but there is no substance to his overall standing. He voted for the tax cuts at the last minute because as the Miami New Times reported, Curbelo's wife who owns a pass through Limited Liability Company would financially benefit from the last-minute provision in the bill enabling such companies to deduct a larger portion of their profits on taxes, after a provision was inserted in the Act that favored his wife's company. We could safely say that Curbelo is a typical Republican >Greed Over People.
But, maybe the most important feature in exposing the real Curbelo (He used to say that he will not vote for Trump) are his votes regarding Trump releasing his tax returns forms. When Curbelo was serving on the Ways and Means Committee, he voted against a measure that would have led to a request of the Treasury Department for Trump's tax returns. Curbelo also voted against a resolution that would have directed the House to request 10 years of Trump's tax returns, which would have been reviewed by the House Ways and Means Committee in a closed session. With enemies like these, Trump can tiptoe
through the tulips.
through the tulips.
Curbelo passes as a friend of the environment, but he supported building the Keystone Pipeline. Curbelo supports increased American involvement in Syria and Iraq. Curbelo supports diverting a portion of the Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts. In short, Curbelo supports privatization of Social Security.
Curbelo has no business because the Congressperson for Florida's 26th CD. Democrats need to work hard in exposing the fake moderate.

The Democratic Party (As is) Is Not Our Friend
Maybe you can still feel the wetness of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s lips from when he kissed you on your cheek before selling you out. Maybe you can hear the coins jingling in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s pockets or Doug Jones being elected by black people in Alabama, then voting with the Republican Party on the continuing resolution. If you can’t, it’s probably because you are so accustomed to the sound and feeling of being sold out by the same people you are willing to fight for, you’ve grown numb to the feeling. here
