Bill Nelson has let the people of Florida down and thrown SENIORS under the BIG GOVERNMENT Bus

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

Florida Senator Bill Nelson once again wants to use smoke and mirrors to hide his big government support instead of letting the free market set prices. Read to email he sent out below that clearly shows his support for government interference in the market.

What big government Bill Nelson does not support is energy independence for the United States. If Big Government Bill Nelson was right the speculators would be getting killed with the drop in the price of OIL. It sounds good but the reason for commodities prices is to have a good flow of product in the market.

Let the Democratic Socialist movement in the government stop trying to control the markets and FREE the market and let the United States start producing oil and gas without constant interference. Once the United States is allowed to produce all the energy this country needs, foreign countries will not longer be able to bleed us for funds to support terrorist.

Bill Nelson has let the people of Florida down and thrown SENIORS under the BIG GOVERNMENT bus. We can not longer tolerate Bill Nelsons support of a planned Socialist economy. Why does Bill Nelson continue to vote for programs that hurt and undermine our seniors. Florida needs a NEW Senator that will support the free market and produce jobs.

Please call Senator Nelson (Phone: 202-224-5274) and ask him why he has not called for a special prosecutor to investigate the Solyndra scandal. White House officials discussed the political ramifications of a possible default by a troubled solar energy company that received more than $500 million in federal loans, newly released emails show. WHERE is Bill Nelson hiding on this?

Let the people of Florida start demanding the oppressive government stops killing jobs and destroying our America energy companies. Bill Nelson has voted in lockstep with Harry Reid in pushing BIG government. Tell Bill Nelson to vote to help business succeed not punish them.

Florida NEEDS jobs and NOT more taxes and government interference.

*******************************************************************
After my email on gas prices, below, it looks like a lot of people decided to let regulators know how they feel about speculators trading oil contracts. We got a few calls this morning, however, that the email link was incorrect and prompted an error message. If you sent a note to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that bounced back, you can go directly to the agency’s website for comment, which the agency may publish, or feel free to send it to me and I’ll make sure to share your sentiments with the Chairman of the CFTC. Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks for taking the time to be involved on this issue.

Sincerely,

Just another load mouth racist pig, NO THIS IS A RACIST FLORIDA GOVERNMENT FREELOADER PIG!

Just another load mouth racist pig, NO THIS IS A RACIST FLORIDA GOVERNMENT FREELOADER PIG!

Rep. Frederica Wilson: ‘The Real Enemy is the Tea Party’
Last night at a town hall meeting in Miami sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus, the subject was supposed to be jobs, but Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D- FL) turned it to partisan politics and told assembled job seekers:
“Let us all remember who the real enemy is… the real enemy is the Tea Party… the Tea Party holds the Congress hostage.”

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, herself known for vitriolic anti-Tea Party rhetoric, and the Reverend Jesse Jackson were also present at the town hall. The stated intent of the gathering was to hold a preview discussion of a mega jobs fair in Miami held today.

At least one citizen, an older woman, walked out of the meeting last night in disgust and told CBS 4 News:

“We expected more than this. We did not come here for politics, we came here for solutions.”

Watch Sen Rubio clean the clock of Sen. John Kerry on the senate floor.

Monday, August 1st, 2011


During by far the most dramatic 24 hours of debt limit negotiations that have had a chokehold on American politics and government since January, Sen.Marco Rubio’s remarks followed by debate with Sen. John Kerry on the Senate floor this afternoon perhaps no better captures the frustration of freshman Republicans, hypocrisy of current political rhetoric, and inability of opposing sides to form real solutions.

Americans for Prosperity’s Florida chapter.

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Today, more than 40% of Americans pay no income tax and nearly 60% receive some form of government assistance. With a federal budget deficit of more than $1.5 trillion and a total federal debt exceeding $14 trillion, it is clear we need less government and more say from commonsense taxpayers like you.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to our new State Director of Americans for Prosperity’s Florida chapter.

Slade O’Brien will be helping folks like you take action in Florida and make your voice heard on key issues concerning our economic freedom and prosperity.

A leader in grassroots mobilization, Slade has played a prominent role in Florida state politics for more than 15 years. Slade served as the Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida for Victory ’94, Florida Director of Citizens for a Sound Economy, Executive Director of Florida Stop Lawsuit Abuse, and most recently as President of Florida Strategies Group.

Slade has proven to be influential on a plethora of critical issues facing Floridians, and has conducted more than 50 town hall meetings on Social Security reform, Medicare reform, tort reform, and school choice. Moreover, Mr. O’Brien is an expert at recruiting, educating and mobilizing economic conservatives and free market thinkers.

He is now living in Boca Raton with his wife, Brooke, and their two children. We are so lucky to have Slade working on our behalf.

I would like you to do three things that will help Slade, and AFP Florida continue to fight for economic freedom:

Forward this to three friends who live in Florida ask them to join AFP here and receive updates on what both your state and federal representatives and senators are doing.

An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up “executing” the deputy who stopped him.

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF, GRADY JUDD

An illegal alien, in Polk County, Florida, who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up “executing” the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state-wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times.

Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: “Because that’s all the ammunition we had.” Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!

The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: (BEST QUOTE of 2009) . . . “When you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die.”

HOW MANY of you agree with me that Sheriff Grady Judd has some splaining to do!
Why did they run out of ammunition??? Clearly OUR Swat teams need more ammunition and fire power.

Teens get charged with a felony and Weiner has a press conference saying he is going back to Congress?

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

So teens get charged with a felony and Weiner has a press conference to admit what he did and he goes back to Congress? Really? Is that how our system is suppose to work?

A 15-year-old boy and girl have been arrested after teachers found that the girl had texted a topless photo of herself.
Police were called after the boy told a teacher at the school in Brooksville, Florida, that he had forwarded a cell phone picture of the girl’s breast.

Both were charged with transmission of pornography by electronic device and taken to Hernando County Jail before being released on bail.

The boy told the school that he had forwarded the photo to another boy on May 27 and was afraid to go to school after he had been threatened for spreading the photo.

The photo came to the attention of the school when the boy’s mother reported the threats.

The Florida Senate has voted to decriminalize the sending of sexually explicit text messages, photos or videos via cell phone or other devices by minors.

But the new law has yet to be signed by Governor Rick Scott.

Under the new bill, minors found guilty of sexting would face non-criminal penalties for a first offence, punishable by eight hours of community service and a $60 fine.

At present, minors can be charged with felonies and sentenced as sex offenders if found guilty of sending nude or sexually explicit photos or videos to another minor using computers or cell phones.

Weiner should resign or be removed from Congress.

Governor Rick Scott which will require welfare applicants to undergo drug testing.

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

Florida gop governor signs bill, requiring welfare applicants to pass a drug test.

TALLAHASSEE (CBS4) – Expect challenges to a bill signed by Governor Rick Scott which will require welfare applicants to undergo drug testing.

The bill also requires that those who apply for welfare must pay for the drug testing out of their own pockets. However, the cost would be reimbursed if the person passes the drug test.

Republicans said the measure was needed because if taxpayers are screened at their place of employment, so should welfare recipients. The drug testing bill was a priority for Scott.

“While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction,” Governor Scott said. “This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.”

FL Senate Fails to Pass Immigration Reform.

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

FL Senate Fails to Pass Immigration Reform
by Javier Manjarres

Florida’s much anticipated illegal immigration law is dead on arrival- there won’t be an immigration law. The so-called ” Most Conservative Senate” ever failed to pass an E-Verify amendment penned by Senator John Thrasher (R), and will submit the weak SB2040 bill that Senator Anitere Flores (R) has been pushing all along. Without the necessary leadership support to push the bill forward, Senators voted individually, and not in block like they do many times to help pass a bill that has been identified as ‘important’. The Florida House’s bill does include an E-Verify provision for government and private hiring and is overall much stronger, but it will most likely not see the light of day or come to a vote.
The reasoning is this- if the Senate were to pass such a weak immigration bill, what makes you think that they will adopt the stronger House bill? They in all likelihood wouldn’t, and the House would most likely feel compelled to adopt the weaker and squishier SB2040. If the House decides not to compromise and adopt the Senate bill, that means that there will not be an immigration reform bill to vote on. Recall that it was Senate President Mike Haridopolos who took the immigration reigns away from Flores after receiving backlash from constituents regarding her SB2040 bill and handed matters over to Senator J.D. Alexander- wrong move.

Alexander turned out to be one of a handful of Republicans that voted against the measure. Proponents of E-Verify can thank the Hispanic Caucus Republican Senators Anitere Flores, Rene Garcia and Miguel Diaz de La Portilla for voting against the E-Verify amendment. One Senator who also inexplicably voted against E-Verify is Senator Ellyn Bogdanoff (R) – this has me scratching my head.

It is now even more obvious what put the kibbosh on this needed legislation- not only did certain espanol-speaking Senators pander to their Hispanic base by voting against a strong immigration reform bill, but there were also several other Republicans that bowed down to the ‘Big Business’ lobby who have been adamantly against the E-Verify provision since the notion of an immigration reform bill first came to light.

Governor Rick Scott must be proud of the incompetence and Democrat-lite leanings of this so-called ‘Most Conservative Senate’ which he hoped would help him fulfill a campaign promise to bring a very strong and reasonable illegal immigration reform law to the State of Florida. Who’ll be willing to stand up and take responsibility the next time we read about crimes perpetrated by illegals who should have been long ago deported? Way to go, Florida Senate!!
