(88,117 posts)17. More from the "advice" part of the YBS post. I like it.
And, most importantly...absolutely, positively dump ALL association with private prison groups, and accept that justice isn't about incarceration and tougher laws. Stop pretending as though you're trying to save Florida by punishing its residents, and commit yourself to ridding our state of the corruption known as privatization. The corporate police state that entities like GEO have created has made Florida's justice system a joke in the eyes of the nation, and we're sick of being more afraid of the cops than of the criminals.
Also, please don't let Donald Trump into any more of your fundraisers. Seriously. Call Warren Buffett or something.
Do all those things, and you've all but won this election. Promise. Florida is ready for a Democratic government, and ready to be freed of the yoke of corporate control. We're ready to be welcomed back into the civilized world, and to no longer be the laughingstock of the nation. We're ready for you, if you're ready to do what it takes for us.
But we're also ready to call you out in a heartbeat if you don't utterly renounce anything that remotely sniffs of Teabaggerdom, or if you take a dime from corporate interests that profit from our suffering. We may be a bit broke, but a million Floridians with $5 donate just as much as one corporate tyrant with $5 million.
But if you can...if you're willing...you've got the full support of Americans Against the Tea Party, and at least one bald guy in the Republican stronghold of North Central Florida.

Very interesting turn, he definitely wants an in on politics, or he would not be bothering.

Don't miss his series on the right wing in Florida, esp. the tea party adherents.

I'd love to see him get on board and support the push for medical marijuana

The law firm he is with now is pushing the drive to legalize medical marijuana.

Yes, it will get ugly. The whole Republican Noise Machine is out to get Crist.
