Rick Scott; Live To Fight Another Day

With a decision on SunRail forthcoming any day now, Gov. Rick Scott finds himself in a very precarious position. He simply cannot please everyone and his decision, be it in favor of SunRail or opposed, is destined to upset an important bloc that will be critical to future successes.

Yes, it goes with the territory, but if one could venture inside Scott’s head for a moment, it would be interesting to see if being Governor of Florida is what he expected it to be going in…

We The People Must Control Our Government

By Michael Pinson
Americans For Freedom

Taxpayers should understand that the AFL-CIO, SEIU and other Unions have such hard line contracts with many city and county governments that the Unions have a financial stranglehold on the taxpayers.

Under current union contracts, the Unions are telling the city government what they will be paid and no cutbacks for years. If they cannot agree…

GOP; Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t

By Tom Tillison

More proof that if you hang around long enough, you’ll see just about everything!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am far from being an apologist for the Republican Party, but what a pickle they find themselves in. And, as is usually the case, they can look amongst themselves for much of the blame.

Judge Asked To Block Finance Laws For Citizens Group

THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 18, 2010…A federal court was asked Monday to block the state’s campaign finance laws from being applied to four activists opposing a Florida ballot measure – a move the judge acknowledged would add “a little bit of chaos” two weeks before Election Day.

The conservative Institute for Justice urged U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle to throw out the finance laws governing ballot measures, with the challenge centered on Florida’s requirement that two or more people who want to spend more than $500 on either side of a ballot issue must form as a political committee regulated by the state.

It is a sad day in America! Average citizens exercising their civic duty are now being intimidated by politicians and government bureaucrats.

Volusia Tea Party Patriots is one of many groups nationwide that have been hosting forums with political candidates…

These forums have occurred at meeting rooms in public libraries, private rooms at restaurants, and in banquet rooms of hotels. Very few churches have opened up their doors to these patriots and even fewer union halls! Therefore, there is a cost to hosting such events. These Patriots have principles and passion, but money is scarce in this economy.
