When I introduced myself, it was clear that Mr. Miller was not happy about being questioned about his vote.
I tried to explain to him the legal issues with the loose language of these sections, but he was unwilling to listen. He became very hostile, even shouting at me at one point. This back and forth went on for a bit and then he replied, “you need to get out of my way because I need to get home to my family”.
Action Alert
In a year where they have to fill a nearly $2 billion shortfall we were bound to see some proposed tax increases.
The Senate has confirmed our fears and on Thursday they will be proposing a new tax on Internet purchases. It is important that your elected officials know that you will not sit idly by while they impose a new tax on you and your families.

I attended Newt Gingrich’s party at the Rosen Centre in Orlando last night. Over a hundred media outlets were there. Despite not winning Florida, the mood of Gingrich supporters was extremely upbeat; waving signs, “46 States To Go!” Gingrich’s speech was awesome! He talked about overturning Obama’s policies to which the crowd was elated. He did not mention Romney at all.
I never do this. However, as I surveyed the ballroom, I noticed I was one of only about ten blacks in…

You are walking in the woods and find a box containing a pair of athletic shoes made in China (miraculously in your size) with a note stating the Chinese people are pleased to donate this to whoever finds it.
Do you take the shoes and consider yourself lucky? Or, do you question the donor’s motives and consternate over the effect your good fortune may have on domestic manufacturers, international trade and foreign exchange rates and refuse to accept the gift?

My friends, the solution to our nation’s health care cannot be found in the acts of politicians or in the visions of experts. It is rather found in the moral compass provided to us by our Creator and in the unyielding pledge that each and everyone of us is committed, as individuals, to a reality that is bigger than ourselves.
It strikes me that this is the vision that will not only fix our health care woes, but restore our nation…

In the Weekly Republican Address, Florida Senator Marco Rubio explains the failures of the Obama administration.
He contrasts those with the promise of America that he and Republicans believe in, if the government stops doing the wrong things.
Helga is the proprietor of a bar. She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.
To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.

Speaking last night from the U.S. Capitol, President Barack Obama described the state of the Union as he sees it — strong and getting stronger, with future growth fueled by his pursuit of progressive policies and an expansion of government, all architected to bring about his brand of “fairness.”
The President essentially redelivered his 2011 State of the Union address — complete with the same empty rhetoric, class warfare cloaked in “fairness,” and proposals for massive tax and spending increases.

Herman Cain, who was in Central Florida this past week in support of U.S. Senate candidate Craig Miller, will deliver the tea party rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address next week.
Cain, former frontrunner in the GOP presidential primary, will have a chance to “square off with the failed politics of the Obama administration,” Tea Party Express said in a statement announcing the Tuesday speech.

Chairman Curry and the RPOF family would like to share Governor Scott’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day message as we honor this important figure in our nation’s history.
Statement from Governor Rick Scott Regarding Martin Luther King Jr. Day;
“This weekend our state and our nation will remember the legacy of a great man who challenged us to make the American dream available to every American…

Our founders deliberately did not establish a democracy, because in that form of government, the majority would always choke to death the desire for Liberty of a minority. Yet another point that Mrs. Ginsberg might be wise to share with Egypt instead of encouraging them to strive “to achieve a general democracy…”
The dichotomy of her praise and criticism of our founders and our Constitution shows that she is greatly misinformed of both…

Good bye Presidential hoopla we’ll see you in August.
But for now, let’s turn our thoughts to more pressing problems for Florida and the nation. Fasten your seat belts folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
This won’t be a Tea Party vs the Establishment event, that’s just so 2010. No, this is a showcase for Agenders, Fair Taxers, Occupiers (well they don’t really vote do they”), and GOOOH’ers…

I am not a fan of this two-party system where your personal beliefs have to be compromised to one party platform or the other based on the lesser of two evils.
I am reminded of my own words of how Congress has become entrenched and regardless of party they are more concerned with the power and the prestige of office then in service to their country.

So after three years of toil by thousands of average everyday citizens who’ve sacrificed far more than they ever cared to, Florida supports John McCain yet again, just in a prettier package.
And just as in 2008, Florida will be the impetus that thrusts this better wrapped version identified as Mitt Romney one step closer to an eventual match up with Barack Obama.
There will be plenty of coverage breaking down the final numbers…

I remember the instant that the mood changed.
As my lens focused beyond the Washington Monument and upon the Capital Dome I recognized that I no longer felt proud of this city. I was embarrassed that under that dome sat men and women who first thought of themselves before they thought of their nation.
