Progress Florida Passage...on to the Senate! Two Florida Dems voted NO! Rep Boyd (Tallahassee) and Rep. Kosmas (Orlando).

is very disappointed in Rep. Kosmos's vote. We need to put lots of pressure on Sen. Nelson to do the right thing!

Progress Florida GOP pulls a Michael Jackson - uses baby as a prop. In this case, to
argue against health care reform. Shameless... http://bit.ly/4cJYLx

Source: bit.ly
Yes, GOP Rep. John Shadegg actually used an innocent infant as a prop, spoke baby talk, and provided us with nothing more than what was most likely in Maddy's diaper at the time. ...

They keep on talking their lies, and there are people out there who believe them. What is wrong with our education system that can't produce independent thinkers and researchers!

Progress Florida A Progress Florida member visiting DC sent us this picture from Thursday's teabagger rally against health care reform at the U.S. Capitol. Interesting messaging, not the least of which is "Marco2010" on a car with Georgia plates.

Stephen Colbert was right. Reality has far too much Left wing bias for teabaggers to support it.

Progress Florida 's Mark Ferrulo congratulating St. Pete City Councilman Karl Nurse. Karl, one of Florida's most progressive policy makers, won his election with more votes than any candidate in any race in Pinellas County. He had a great team led by campaign maestro Darden J. Rice

Mike, I spend my time on City Council working on: open government, environmental/energy issues, economic help for those who need it the most, and trying to turn neighborhoods around. The PBA, FOB, Firefighters and SEIU all knew me well enough to endorse me. No other candidate was supported by all four unions. I will let that speak for itself.

Progress Florida "He's been the champion of a multitude of terrible policy ideas for Florida," said Mark Ferrulo, executive director of Progress Florida. Ferrulo and other progressives fear that Haridopolos will be "just a proxy for Florida's special interests."

Having moved to Florida just 3 years ago, the longer I am here and learn more about "Florida politics" the more disgusted I become. I should have figured that given Florida's role in the presidential election mess that got G.W. Bush into office that really, not much has changed---or is going to change...UNLESS we vote the gop'ers out of office.

Progress Florida Trick or treatment! In honor of Halloween, we collaborated with the Florida AFL-CIO, the Florida Alliance of Retired Americans, and Health Care forAmerica Now to send the grim reaper to "thank" the Republican Party of Florida for universally opposing health care reform.
