Florida's Shitty Beer
-----
I know what you are thinking folks. But, no worries, agriculture commissioner candidate GOP Matt Caldwell of North Fort Myers has sampled beer made from it.
-----
Home brewers in the Tampa area, which has been dealing with water shortages for years, have made beer using gallons of recycled, purified water. Yuck!

You can call or write Gov. Poopy Water and tell him to VETO 'toilet to tap' bill HB1149 and protect our aquifers.

Rick Scott's Right Wing Propaganda
The governor had cast the decision to give Florida relief from offshore drilling as a spontaneous triumph. It Wasn't.
-----
Scott and U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced on Jan. 9 that Florida was “off the table” for offshore oil drilling, the governor cast the hastily arranged news conference at the Tallahassee airport as unplanned and the Trump administration’s decision as something Scott had influenced at the eleventh hour.
-----
The fact is, Zinke’s top advance staffer, whose job it is to plan ahead for such events, was in Tallahassee the previous day. And top officials from the offices of both Scott and the secretary were in regular contact for several days leading up to the announcement. here

Gwen Graham Running Third And Plummeting
There were two notable developments this week that strained the trust of even the most gullible reader.
-----
First, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gwen Graham, running third and plummeting in the polls, claimed she is the only candidate from her party capable of winning the general election. This sack of balderdash was dutifully reported by some of the state’s media and
pay-for-play blogs. here

Support Our Revolution
We have a choice to make this November. Progressive candidates across the country are prepared to challenge incumbents that represent the corporate CEOs bankrolling their campaigns. For the first time in what seems like decades, voters will have a new set of choices when they cast their ballots; a candidate who will fight for working people or a candidate who will fight for the special interests supporting their campaign.
-----
Now is the time to decide whether we believe dark money and Super PACs should influence elections or whether grassroots support and small-dollar contributors deserve a greater say.
-----
Unlimited campaign contributions are not free speech. Together we can amplify the voices of the people when each of us chips in a few dollars.
-----
Let's tell every elected official across the country to turn out their pockets and show us who really is supporting their campaign! If their pockets are lined with money from Exxon, Big Pharma, WalMart, or from any other industry that seeks to corrupt our planet or our bodies, we deserve to know. The candidates of the future will not fight for Medicare for All and a living wage if they are beholden to the corporate interests who benefit from the disenfranchisement of working families.
-----
A path to victory is possible. Now is when we must dig in and work to elect progressives in primary elections across the country who, with the strong backing of the grassroots, will fight for Medicare for All and the issues we care about. Your contribution builds our texting, calling, and canvassing programs to reach even more people and keeps us organizing locally.

-----
The revolution will go as far as we take it—so let's keep moving on the path to economic, racial, social,
and environmental justice.

March for Our Lives in Tampa Notable for Politicos Who Attended–and Those Who Didn’t
The March for Our Lives, Tampa edition, drew an estimated 13,000 participants with candidates and would-be hopefuls making a firm statement by their presence—-or absence.
-----
From reports gleaned from the field, not one Republican supported the Millennial and Reform Generations, giving credence to widespread accusations that the GOP has been totally co-opted by the National Rifle Association.
-----
The “family values” canard that has served Republicans well since the Reagan years has run its course in this pivotal election year. And young people are registering to vote in droves.
