From the Inbox: How did Florida get here?

October 19, 2011 by Kenneth

Rick Scott was elected Governor by only 67,000 votes out of more than five million cast. How did Florida get such an extremist Governor and Legislature, and the most anti-middle class agenda we’ve ever seen? Because far too many middle class Floridians stayed home and didn’t vote in last year’s election. We can’t allow that to happen in next year’s election – our very future is at stake.

From Florida Watch Action:

Pick Slip Rick es un poco loco.

Don’t believe me? Governor Scott and his latest effort to tell the people of our state he’s actually created jobs is failing – but that hasn’t stopped him from pouring more corporate money into the campaign. Now, Scott is actively reaching out to the Hispanic community in Florida hoping to convince them he is their friend.

That’s why today we’re announcing our latest project – RickyEnReversa.com – a new FWA project that exposes Pink Slip Rick and his backwards policies to the Hispanic community. Check it out right now:

With the success of our previous campaigns (robocalls, mad libs, and more), we believe this is the next logical step in continuing the fight to stop Rick Scott‘s anti-jobs agenda. We have to make sure he fails in his quest to turn our state into a corporate playground for his business pals – and that is exactly what we are doing here now.

Committee On Church Cooperation Says Undocumented Won't Be Denied Help

October 19, 2011 by Left in Alabama

The Board of Morgan County's Committee on Church Cooperation held a public meeting last night to reaffirm that the organization's purpose ...

... “is to build cooperative efforts among the churches of Morgan County to provide emergency and short-term assistance to persons in need, in the name of Jesus Christ.” The sole basis on which assistance will be offered will continue to be (and always has been) CCC’s assessment of an individual’s physical needs.”

They also rolled out the welcome mat for people in need, even if they lack documents:

“If somebody has been denied service, bring them back,” said board member Sam Janis. “If there are undocumented individuals, bring them in. Bring a translator with you, and we’ll do the very best that we can. There is no intent to exclude people from service.”

Winner and Loser of the Day: Clemens/Buchanan

October 18, 2011 by Kenneth

Winner: Jeff Clemens — He introduced a bill to ban banks from charging the new debit card fees. If the Republicans actually cared about Floridians, they’d support the bill.

Loser: Vern Buchanan — He’s finally being investigated by the feds, hopefully they’ll dig up the truth.
