Florida GOP clamping down on voter initiatives
In November, 64 percent of Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing former felons to regain their right to vote. Three weeks later, a Republican state representative introduced legislation that would require constitutional amendments to earn 67 percent of the vote to pass.
Republican legislators in states across the country have introduced dozens of bills that would make significant changes to the initiative and referendum process.
Critics of the proposals say they are a Republican end run around the direct democracy process, meant to stifle popular progressive policies before they get

Hillsborough County GOP Facebook Post
An incendiary Facebook post has once again created controversy for the Hillsborough County Republican Party — this time, one comparing Democrats to Nazis.
“Democrats do a lot of projection with the word ‘Nazi,’ but it’s THEIR platform that resembles it, not Republicans,” the post
and tweet said.
It went on to say that Democrats and Nazis both advocated “socialism,” “no guns,” “censorship,” “media mind control,” “abortion,” “hate Jews” and “worship
the government.”

MIAMI BEACH MOVES TO BAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES
Today the Miami Beach City Commission will vote on legislation proposed by Commissioner Joy Malakoff (Above) that would replace the City’s already restrictive dispensary ordinance with an outright ban on medical marijuana retail in Miami Beach.
Ben Pollara, founder and Executive Director of Florida for Care issued the following statement regarding the Miami Beach proposal:
“It is outrageous that 80% of Miami Beach voters supported medical marijuana in 2016, yet the City Commission is contemplating a proposal by an unelected Commissioner to deny the voters’ will - and stifle patient access.” Pollara continued, “Not only is this ban wrong for Miami Beach, but it is also wrong for Miami-Dade County. There are only a handful of dispensaries in Dade and this would further limit access. The City needs
to reverse course immediately.”
