GOP Caught On Tape Pandering For Koch Money

Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst and Senator Mitch McConnell — both caught on tape pandering to a room full of right-wing billionaires like Charles and David Koch.

  

Ernst thanks the Koch brothers, crediting them with acting as the foundation of her 

political “trajectory.”

The day a measure passed to get big money out of politics was the “worst day” 

of his political life.

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Back when Wasserman Schultz was the head of the DCCC's Red to Blue program in 2008, she endorsed 3 corrupt Republican amigos-- Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Mario Diaz-Balart-- over three Democrats.  That year Wasserman Schultz helped beat Joe Garcia, who eventually made it to Congress anyway and 
helped beat 

Annette Taddeo, who is running for 
Lt. Governor today. 

Now she is asking us for money? here

DREAMers Protest Rubio

Maria Palacios, of United We Dream-Tampa Bay, was one of the demonstrators who showed up at the event in Anderson, S.C. Some of the demonstrators went to Rubio's Miami office last week with a similar message. "If Sen. Rubio wants us deported, we're here to ask him to tell us to our faces," Palacios said in a statement. "

We went to Sen. Rubio's office in Florida, but his staff hid and closed the doors on us, so we're here to let him know that Dreamers do not forget, and that we will fight to keep our DACA. The Florida immigrant community must see that 
Rubio does not stand for us." more

It's bizarre. Florida leans ever so slightly Democratic in high turnout presidential elections, but Democrats are virtually powerless and irrelevant in Tallahassee. No question the state is trending Democratic. here @adamsmithtimes

Tampa Fights Police Brutality

On a rainy afternoon, Aug. 23, 70 people rallied in downtown Tampa demanding justice for Mike Brown of Ferguson, Missouri. Gathering at Lykes Gaslight Park, the people protested outside the Tampa Police Department and the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Middle District of Florida. Protesters showed solidarity with the people fighting back in Ferguson by demanding the jailing of killer cops in Tampa.

Alekos Zambrano of Tampa Dream Defenders said, "We are here today to demand justice. We demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of the officer that shot Mike Brown. The immediate arrest and prosecution of the officer that killed Javon Neal. The immediate arrest and prosecution of the officer that killed Arthur Greene. We believe that these demands are reasonable. We believe that these demands are just. We also demand that here in Tampa, the police wear forward facing cameras so we no longer have to take their word for it, when they tell us that our young sisters and brothers forced them to pull the trigger. And we demand the police records of arrest, detainment and questioning, not ending in conviction. here
