American for Prosperity-FL reports that yesterday, despite loud cries in opposition, SB 1415 by Sen. Nancy Detert was passed favorably out of the Senate Finance & Tourism Committee, and PCB 7206 was allowed introduction as a committee bill (now SB 2098).

Coming off the emotions of the GOP presidential primary, it seems the politicos in the state are in need of a drama fix and have selected redistricting as the drug of choice.
Driven by self absorbed bloggers who have a history of injecting themselves into high profile stories, as if the topic can only be of legitimate concern if it revolves around them, and then brought to a boil by Rush Limbaugh

I would not look to the US constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012... why not take advantage of what there is elsewhere in the world? ~ US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

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…

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”.
Press Release
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – George LeMieux today released the following statement regarding Adam Hasner’s departure from the US Senate primary…
“It is vitally important we keep Florida’s House districts in Republican hands and I wish Adam and Jillian Hasner the best of luck in their upcoming endeavors.
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…

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…

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) today introduced the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012, a bill to repeal a new ObamaCare mandate that violates the religious liberties and conscience rights of faith-based institutions by forcing them to offer employees insurance coverage for contraceptives…

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.

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…
