FL Tea Party Candidate to be vetted on 850AM WFTL tomorrow

Mike Lameyer, who is was the first candidate that I jumped in to support will be vetted on the Joyce Kauffman Show on News-Talk 850 AM out of Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow, 3/16/10 at 2pm. EST. I posted an interview of Mike here about a month and a half ago. His opponents were sent e-mail invitations to answer the same questions and did not reply. For those of you from out of state, rest assured, Mike will give a colorful insight into the state of local politics in our State. Over the last week, we have gotten a wonderful picture from KOOK and Clay at Bungallo Bill's regarding local politics in the S.W. Missouri area. Lameyer is running as a "conservative" a.k.a. "tea party" Republican for State Senate district 27. I talked to Mike in depth before deciding to support him and I really appreciate his upfront approach to politics. His style is a refreshing change to those who tend to "dance around" questions such as Massa on Beck last week. 850AM. I will post links to the radio station and the Joyce Kauffman show is both syndicated and I believe is available by internet radio and I believe is available on XM satellite radio.

An Artist, A patriot, and the most beautiful paintings!!!!

Lately I have been meeting so many amazing people, I simply don't have time to write about them all but this one is special. Meet Susan. She has been up and down the corporate ladder, much like many of you, but has decided to take her amazing gift and use it to support the "liberty" movement. When I say her gift is amazing, that is doing her a horrid injustice as her talent as an artist is so good it's hard to put it into words. The only thing stronger than her artistic talent is her love for this country so she has gone into business selling her patriotic artwork. When I saw her stunning hand drawn poster, literally spent my last dime to buy one and get it customized with the blog name as well as friends I attended with included. Here is a link to her site: www.SusanLSmithArtist.com and her story about how she became inspired to use her talent to support the Tea Party Patriots. I will put up some pics of her art in this post and hope that you will support her, as her art is easily worth infinitely more than she charges.

Doesn't this rule? This rendition of the 9/12 protest will be on my wall once it is framed. The detail is magnificent.

It is my belief that the "Tea Party" will be considered a major historical event in the USA and buying a $20-50 piece of art will not only support a patriot doing her part but will get you a patriotic picture that will be the centerpiece of any room you choose to put it in. So check out her stuff and giver her some blogger love. If you can't buy one of her pics, then drop a Washington or a Lincoln so she can keep blessing us with her art. I'm sure for a small donation, she'd be willing to do a logo or a header for your blogs. So here is her story and some samples of her art to go with it!!!!

here is quite a story behind all this and Im sure the left would love to trash me for it so with that in mind Im not gonna make it easy for them to smear me - they have to work for it! But for my 912 experience it went like this

No doubt that the 912 March on DC was a phenominal and historical event, especially for all of those in attendance. The lack of 'lamestream' media coverage further reinforces that their heads are, well...., where they should not be! I am no mathematician, however, I can count and I have attended enough 500,000+ person events at the Ft Lauderdale Air and Sea Shows in days gone by, several 70,000+ person Professional Football games and many 100,000+ person Rock Concerts to know that the sea of people that Marched on Washington DC on 912 was far greater than 70,000, or even hundreds of thousands, it was a million plus, and plus more. I put the number at about 2.6m, that is 2,600,000 live breathing tax paying patriots! And, if you count the masses that protested all across the country that day, and, those that were stuck on the highways leading into DC well the number swells even more. So let this stand as a correction of sorts to those that thumbed their noses at us and turned a blind eye to our protests. "We the People,...We are Back"
********************
From where I perched on the stone monument walls that cloudy day ( just under the south end of Grants horse) I witnessed the green lawns and the granite malls fill with so many patriotic Americans that no matter what direction I looked to, north, south, east or west, was a sea of peaceful protesters, singing, chanting, waving signs and furling flags, etc......I get goose bumps just recalling the awe and exhilaration I felt then and there in the midst, and, middle of it all. One of the few published photos in the Washington papers actually has the top of my head (dont look at my roots) in the bottom of the photo. And thanks to "Bear" my traveling partner, and, Ron and Mary Rakovich for their generous accommodations, I was right smack dab in the middle of it all.
The many videos circulating and the thousands of posted photos each show a glimpse of 912, a small fraction of the million plus individuals who traveled there, each with their own message, question or concern. Each demanding to be heard and listened to. Not spoken down to or disparaged. Washington tried writing us off as Astroturf.....well I have a message for the most devicive person ever in DC ..... "I Am A 12th Generation American, my family goes all the way back to 1635, and, so help me God, DO NOT talk about me and my family in that way!"
Yes, my great,g,g,g,g,g,g,g,g,g, grandfather emigrated from the repression of England's monarhcy, loss of individual property rights and imposition of religious oppression arriving on the "Speedwell" in October 1635 (374 yrs ago) in New England. His name was Richard Smith. He became known as "BULL" Smith and he later founded Smithtown, NY on the Northshore of Long Island in 1665. Him and my other ancestors built this country before it was founded into the United States of America and they are all rolling in their graves at what is taking place in the country right here and right now. It is, therefore, incumbent upon me as their proud descendant to do something, to take charge, and make action happen.
So here I am America, I am here to do my part, to take charge of my destiny ( thats another story) and to get involved in the retaking of this great country back from the corrupt and insidious clenches of the twisted 'progressives.'
While my own history may be different than yours, we are all united on the issues and causes that are violating our constitution and belittling our bill of rights,and the out of control and wreckless spending that is bankrupting our nation into collapse. OUR issues are of equal importance to us all and will ultimately effect us all- and immeasurably so - if we do nothing. I am particularly concerned for my children and the future generations of this great nation for they are clueless as to what I see going on here. We must not become the United Socialists States of America, we must preserve the United States of America as the best and FREEIST of the FREE world.
Before I left my humble little apartment and set off with strangers for the trip to DC I said to my daughters (23 & 21 yrs) "this may be the most important thing I ever publicly do for you." And four months later after watching their mother work tirelessly, day in and day out on artwork that I was doing out of passion for my country, they are beginning to understand. Why is it taking so long for our youth to recognize what is going wrong....because the history they have been taught in school is minus a whole helluva lot of truth.
**********************
Well call me sentimental but as an artist I am often inspired by lifes experiences and moved by my emotions. I am blessed to have found some of my most worthy creativity through profound events in my life. Such is the case with my 912 experience.
With that in mind I embarked on a grand undertaking to accurately render, in pen, ink and full color, a montage of the events, venues, people, groups, messages, causes and questions representative of the 912 March on DC, that was not captured in any print media I have seen. The movement and my experience is what I wanted to preserve because we cannot count on the educators to do it, we must do it. Just as I was compelled to overcome huge obstacles just to get to DC and participate and be heard........I was compelled to do this "commemorative artwork," it is where my passion lies.
So I began sketching and I thought well maybe someone else may feel the same way, maybe there are others who are so irked by the lamestream media thumbing their noses at us and turning a blind eye towards us ( and I am not making fun of the blind by any means) that they too would want to relive this experience, perpetuate it for our posterity and remind congress, the administration and all elected officials that "We the People,...We are Back".
The "We the People,...We are Back" original is 3' high by 5' long and it contains renderings of the FreedomWorks meeting/speakers at the Armory, the Tea Party Patriots 912 Press Conference at Capitol Hill, the Physicians for Reform Rally, the FairTax rally at the IRS, and of course the 912 March on DC multiple views: West Lawn, North Lawn, South Lawn, views up Pennsylvannia Ave and East view to the Washington Monument.... I was going to solicit advertising space in the boarder because I desperately need to earn a living and then I thought more appropriately would the artwork be if it was wrapped in the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence, the beginnings of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And, Vahwhallah I did just that. Although I remained unemployed as a displaced construction exec/business owner going on a few years now (and never eligible for unemployment) I hoped, just maybe, my fellow patriots would see that I have reinvented myself as a serious artist, maybe even as a Political Protest Artist.

My first REC meeting:

In case some of you don't know, I have developed unique ties to the local Republican Party. (Something that, a year ago, I'd never imagine doing, but times change as do political winds and the local Republican party seems intent on listening to the complaints of the local 9/12 aka "tea party" movement. For those of you who don't understand, the REC is basically the local version of the RNC. Our support for local, state and national candidates, and our blog work in that area has gained us access into an REC meeting. This was really a big event as the topic of the evening was how the corruption of the current Republicans in power is being swept out and calls for closer ties to the "Tea Party" movement are being listened to. This was a unique experience for me as I have never been a part of any such anything like this. People that I support were present and speeches from all the local candidates seeking office from DC, to city councils were there and gave speeches. There is definitely momentum there as the average attendance for such a meeting from what I was told was in the 60's after the 08 election, and the attendance last night was 132. Some of this was because a big rising star in both the "tea party" and republican circles was in attendance. His name is Lt Col Allen West. (R) FL. Many of you may have heard of him. If you have not, you should, as I believe he has the "right stuff" to be President one day. If you have never heard of Lt. Col West, he has a very distinguished military record, and has been a pillar in the local community also. You can find out all about him and his campaign here:http://allenwestforcongress.com/. I was able to speak briefly with Lt. Col West, and offered my support both as a blogger and as a person to try and help his campaign however possible. I will be contacting his staff later today. All in all. this was a good start to what I hope will be a time when I can use this blog, and all my e-mail contacts to support these candidates. I also post on several local 9/12 oriented blogs and will also continue to utilize those to the best of my abilities to support the candidates that I believe will help grind the agenda of mr. obama, "dirty harry" Reid and Nancy Pelotox to a halt.

(Photos are Lt. Col Allen West giving a speech before the RNC, West gets standing O from the crowd and, gives me a closeup photo as we discuss blogger help)

Welcome to the Party, Boys: Hillbuzz declares war on Democrats.

Via Musings of a Vast Right Winger

Guaranteed to piss tons of people off today: we now want every last Democrat in elected office to lose in 2010

All I can say is, Welcome to the Party fellas, this gives me hope.  I, like Musings, do not agree with all of their politics, and I clearly do not understand their sexual orientation, but these guys have a lot going on upstairs.  They are thinking, the light is on, and they are no longer drinking the kool-aid. What is more is that they are influential.  I have said for a long time what they say below, the Pro-Liberty folks are a natural fit for anyone who wants to have a live-and-let-live attitude.  These guys love their country, are productive contributing members of society, and have their thinking caps on:
Point One, To be Gay men in Chicago who declare war on the Democrats like this takes  a lot of guts. Period.
Point two, they are for Michelle Bachmann…how can I dislike them when they clearly have such good taste in women? AND get this, they want her to be SPEAKER.  I am starting to love these guys (not that way).
Point three…they loathe Barbara Boxer (supporting Chuck Devore) and detest Harry Reid.
Now if they would just realize that Hillary wants the same thing as Dr Utopia, aka Chairman Zero we would really be getting somewhere.  Read it and weep democRats, the paradigm is shifting:

Hillbuzz: Guaranteed to piss tons of people off today: we now want every last Democrat in elected office to lose in 2010 
“Only part of this is because of the personal attacks the Left has made on us this week, but another large part of it is something we read over at http://www.hillaryis44.org/2010/01/26/tough-times-ahead-for-hillary-clinton-supporters/, regarding the need to eject every single Democrat from office in 2010.
It took us a long time to come to this point, but the Liberal-Socialist Democrat party needs to not only be defeated in 2010, it needs to g-damn be EVISCERATED. Every last Democrat needs to be brought down, because we have had all that we are going to take with these nuts.
Saying this could very likely get us killed in a place like Chicago. So be it.
The Left has already destroyed one of our ability’s to ever earn a living in this town again. The DNC sanctions these kinds of attacks, if not directly orders them. THAT is what the Democrat Party has become. Breaking Godwin’s Law, we state the obvious and call this Liberal-Fascists what they are: g-damn Nazis.
Oppose them in the slightest, and they will destroy you.
Speak out against them, and they will get you fired from your job and make you unemployable.
Stand up to them, and they’ll ruin your friendships, chase relationships away, and launch full-on war against you.
THAT is what Democrats are all about today.
In the 30+ years we’ve each been alive, the worst a Republican ever did to us was tell us, to our face, we were going to Hell because we like guys. Some added, “I will pray for your illness” when they found out we were gay. We’ve been through most of the states in the South. We grew up in places like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, San Antonio, Rochester, and Milwaukee.
We’ve been lectured by Catholics, Protestants, Fundamentalists, and Jews of the Republican persuasion, and never once did these people ever do anything worse to us than saying, “Boys, you ain’t right”.
Democrats, however, have sought to destroy us, working page by page through the Alinsky Playbook.We know people at the DNC monitor this site.
We know there are very important people who read us. Trust us, that shocks us as much as it might shock some of you. But we know this for a fact.
We are telling Democrats right now that you have destroyed the Democrat Party, perhaps forever. If you alienated lifelong, dyed in the wool Dems like us, you people are toast.
These lunatics really and truly believe that attacking moderate Dems like us who do not agree with the current Administration is an actual, sound, policy move.
Great Merciful Zeus, this is coming directly from Donna Brazile we bet. That woman is crazy. During the 2008 primaries, we emailed back and forth with her a few times, and she is as rude and vile as can be. This was the genius behind Gore’s failed 2000 campaign, and the woman who dreamed up Obama 2008.
She’s the one who repeatedly said the Democrats do not need moderates, the working class, the blue collar voters, or “average Americans”.
Democrats believe they can exist with just blacks, immigrants, jews, liberals, gays, and the urban elite.Well, we’re gays who commit today to doing everything we can to bring Democrats down in 2010.
Part of it is because of what the DNC did to Hillary Clinton in 2008. Part of it is because of the attacks launched on us this week. But, mainly, it’s because Democrats are bad for this country. The party has gone completely insane and is out of touch not only with voters, but with reality itself.
There are no longer any moderate Democrats to speak of.
This was proven by the votes on the Healthcare Rationing bill. All 60 Dems in the Senate voted for a bill they did not read, did not understand, that they tried to ram through passage in the dead of night when no one was looking.
In our opinion, every last one of these people belongs in prison — for treason. Since we can’t make that happen, we will focus instead on defeating as many of them as we can.
As we said yesterday, looking at our resources, and our time schedule, we can commit to driving an effort behind FIVE good Republicans who can defeat bad Democrats in 2010.
One of these races is Michelle Bachmann’s. If you have any contacts with her, let her know a bunch of gay guys in Chicago want to go all-in for her. We want to make her Speaker too. We are willing to do whatever we can to make that happen.
For the other four races we want to get involved in, we want to pick four really good Republicans we believe in who will defeat Democrats that need to be made examples of.
One of those Dems is Barbara Boxer. Whomever runs against her will have our undying daily support.
We want Harry Reid defeated, but that’s going to happen without us, so we are not going to put our effort there. Part of us wants to take down Evan Bayh, just because we are so disappointed in the man for his behavior in the week before Christmas.
If ANY Democrat should have stood up and shouted down the madness of this Healthcare Rationing bill, it should have been Bayh. This is a man we like very much, on a personal level. This is a man we’ve had multiple conversations with. This is a man we would have loved to have seen become Vice President under Hillary Clinton.
But, he betrayed this country. All Democrats in the Senate did. And now he disgusts us.
We’re torn on what to do about Bayh. Indiana is so close, we could very easily get involved there. But we admit we have lingering loyalty to Bayh for how steadfast he stood with Clinton two years ago. So, he’s tabled for now.
That means two of our berths are now filled. We will be supporting:
(1) Michelle Bachmann
(2) Whomever is the nominee against Boxer (we hope it is Chuck Devore)
And the other three slots are empty.
The qualifications to earn our support are:
(1) Candidate must love America
(2) Candidate must hate socialism
(3) Candidate must not have supported Cap & Tax, the Healthcare Rationing Bill, or Dr. Utopia in any way
(4) Candidate must embrace the Tea Party movement, which we are a part of
(5) Candidate must not be evil to gays
Republicans, stop talking about gays, period. Across the board. News flash: there will always be gays. No matter how much you try to convince us otherwise, Jake Gyllenhaal is hot, Madonna is cool, and a night at Sidetracks beats just about anything else on Earth.
Especially Showtunes night. You can threaten us with fire, brimstone, and the fires of Hell all you want, but we’ll never, ever, not a day in our lives be attracted to women. Nor will we ever wish we were. We drink Pilsners. We adore Lady Gaga. Every drag queen in town knows our first names. We like guys.
Deal with it.
Because we’re here. We’re queer. And we are willing to put ourselves on the front line to take down the Liberals. While Republicans are at their cocktail parties, we are manning phone banks and plotting strategy to take down the corrupt, lunatic, out of control DNC itself.
Reinforcements from the cocktail party, martini in hand, set would be appreciated.

REVVED US UP MORE THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN REVVED.

Guaranteed to piss tons of people off today: we now want every last Democrat in elected office to lose in 2010

All I can say is, Welcome to the Party fellas, this gives me hope.  I, like Musings, do not agree with all of their politics, and I clearly do not understand their sexual orientation, but these guys have a lot going on upstairs.  They are thinking, the light is on, and they are no longer drinking the kool-aid. What is more is that they are influential.  I have said for a long time what they say below, the Pro-Liberty folks are a natural fit for anyone who wants to have a live-and-let-live attitude.  These guys love their country, are productive contributing members of society, and have their thinking caps on:
Point One, To be Gay men in Chicago who declare war on the Democrats like this takes  a lot of guts. Period.
Point two, they are for Michelle Bachmann…how can I dislike them when they clearly have such good taste in women? AND get this, they want her to be SPEAKER.  I am starting to love these guys (not that way).
Point three…they loathe Barbara Boxer (supporting Chuck Devore) and detest Harry Reid.
Now if they would just realize that Hillary wants the same thing as Dr Utopia, aka Chairman Zero we would really be getting somewhere.  Read it and weep democRats, the paradigm is shifting:

Hillbuzz: Guaranteed to piss tons of people off today: we now want every last Democrat in elected office to lose in 2010 
“Only part of this is because of the personal attacks the Left has made on us this week, but another large part of it is something we read over at http://www.hillaryis44.org/2010/01/26/tough-times-ahead-for-hillary-clinton-supporters/, regarding the need to eject every single Democrat from office in 2010.
It took us a long time to come to this point, but the Liberal-Socialist Democrat party needs to not only be defeated in 2010, it needs to g-damn be EVISCERATED. Every last Democrat needs to be brought down, because we have had all that we are going to take with these nuts.
Saying this could very likely get us killed in a place like Chicago. So be it.
The Left has already destroyed one of our ability’s to ever earn a living in this town again. The DNC sanctions these kinds of attacks, if not directly orders them. THAT is what the Democrat Party has become. Breaking Godwin’s Law, we state the obvious and call this Liberal-Fascists what they are: g-damn Nazis.
Oppose them in the slightest, and they will destroy you.
Speak out against them, and they will get you fired from your job and make you unemployable.
Stand up to them, and they’ll ruin your friendships, chase relationships away, and launch full-on war against you.
THAT is what Democrats are all about today.
In the 30+ years we’ve each been alive, the worst a Republican ever did to us was tell us, to our face, we were going to Hell because we like guys. Some added, “I will pray for your illness” when they found out we were gay. We’ve been through most of the states in the South. We grew up in places like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, San Antonio, Rochester, and Milwaukee.
We’ve been lectured by Catholics, Protestants, Fundamentalists, and Jews of the Republican persuasion, and never once did these people ever do anything worse to us than saying, “Boys, you ain’t right”.
Democrats, however, have sought to destroy us, working page by page through the Alinsky Playbook.We know people at the DNC monitor this site.
We know there are very important people who read us. Trust us, that shocks us as much as it might shock some of you. But we know this for a fact.
We are telling Democrats right now that you have destroyed the Democrat Party, perhaps forever. If you alienated lifelong, dyed in the wool Dems like us, you people are toast.
These lunatics really and truly believe that attacking moderate Dems like us who do not agree with the current Administration is an actual, sound, policy move.
Great Merciful Zeus, this is coming directly from Donna Brazile we bet. That woman is crazy. During the 2008 primaries, we emailed back and forth with her a few times, and she is as rude and vile as can be. This was the genius behind Gore’s failed 2000 campaign, and the woman who dreamed up Obama 2008.
She’s the one who repeatedly said the Democrats do not need moderates, the working class, the blue collar voters, or “average Americans”.
Democrats believe they can exist with just blacks, immigrants, jews, liberals, gays, and the urban elite.Well, we’re gays who commit today to doing everything we can to bring Democrats down in 2010.
Part of it is because of what the DNC did to Hillary Clinton in 2008. Part of it is because of the attacks launched on us this week. But, mainly, it’s because Democrats are bad for this country. The party has gone completely insane and is out of touch not only with voters, but with reality itself.
There are no longer any moderate Democrats to speak of.
This was proven by the votes on the Healthcare Rationing bill. All 60 Dems in the Senate voted for a bill they did not read, did not understand, that they tried to ram through passage in the dead of night when no one was looking.
In our opinion, every last one of these people belongs in prison — for treason. Since we can’t make that happen, we will focus instead on defeating as many of them as we can.
As we said yesterday, looking at our resources, and our time schedule, we can commit to driving an effort behind FIVE good Republicans who can defeat bad Democrats in 2010.
One of these races is Michelle Bachmann’s. If you have any contacts with her, let her know a bunch of gay guys in Chicago want to go all-in for her. We want to make her Speaker too. We are willing to do whatever we can to make that happen.
For the other four races we want to get involved in, we want to pick four really good Republicans we believe in who will defeat Democrats that need to be made examples of.
One of those Dems is Barbara Boxer. Whomever runs against her will have our undying daily support.
We want Harry Reid defeated, but that’s going to happen without us, so we are not going to put our effort there. Part of us wants to take down Evan Bayh, just because we are so disappointed in the man for his behavior in the week before Christmas.
If ANY Democrat should have stood up and shouted down the madness of this Healthcare Rationing bill, it should have been Bayh. This is a man we like very much, on a personal level. This is a man we’ve had multiple conversations with. This is a man we would have loved to have seen become Vice President under Hillary Clinton.
But, he betrayed this country. All Democrats in the Senate did. And now he disgusts us.
We’re torn on what to do about Bayh. Indiana is so close, we could very easily get involved there. But we admit we have lingering loyalty to Bayh for how steadfast he stood with Clinton two years ago. So, he’s tabled for now.
That means two of our berths are now filled. We will be supporting:
(1) Michelle Bachmann
(2) Whomever is the nominee against Boxer (we hope it is Chuck Devore)
And the other three slots are empty.
The qualifications to earn our support are:
(1) Candidate must love America
(2) Candidate must hate socialism
(3) Candidate must not have supported Cap & Tax, the Healthcare Rationing Bill, or Dr. Utopia in any way
(4) Candidate must embrace the Tea Party movement, which we are a part of
(5) Candidate must not be evil to gays
Republicans, stop talking about gays, period. Across the board. News flash: there will always be gays. No matter how much you try to convince us otherwise, Jake Gyllenhaal is hot, Madonna is cool, and a night at Sidetracks beats just about anything else on Earth.
Especially Showtunes night. You can threaten us with fire, brimstone, and the fires of Hell all you want, but we’ll never, ever, not a day in our lives be attracted to women. Nor will we ever wish we were. We drink Pilsners. We adore Lady Gaga. Every drag queen in town knows our first names. We like guys.
Deal with it.
Because we’re here. We’re queer. And we are willing to put ourselves on the front line to take down the Liberals. While Republicans are at their cocktail parties, we are manning phone banks and plotting strategy to take down the corrupt, lunatic, out of control DNC itself.
Reinforcements from the cocktail party, martini in hand, set would be appreciated.
The DNC should take another look at the Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground to see if they are really getting their money’s worth — because instead of shutting us down, these goblin factories
REVVED US UP MORE THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN REVVED.
These fools took the battle to Boystown. They made things personal. And in 2010, we are going to fight harder than we have ever fought for anything to bring these lunatic socialists down.
Who’s with us? “

The Florida Bullet train and what you MUST KNOW...

The Money Train...

Florida has already acquired a dedicated right-of-way along the I-4 corridor where the rail line will go. This first phase of rail development will include stops at the Orlando Airport, in Orlando, at Disney, Lakeland and then Tampa. With speeds above 120 mph, which is certainly not as fast as bullet trains are running these days (China’s averages 217 mph), this will still be faster than driving by car. The 85 mile trip should take less than an hour, and will also provide better transportation for tourists trying to get to Disneyworld without having to rent a car.

Florida anticipates the first phase of their rail line will cost $3.5 billion, and they are currently raising money from private investors (I.e raising taxes) to cover the remaining billion after they receive the stimulus funding. Construction is set to be completed and trains running by 2014. And now, Obama needs to decide where the rest of the $8 billion in stimulus funding will go. Given the length of phase one and it's cost, which is 3.5 billion, how will we pay for the other phases with only 8billion left? (hint...they're gonna tax our asses off)

But wait, it gets good...Phase 2 goes right over my property as I live a mile west of 95. I've seen the closeup plans and my neighborhood will be taken by imminent domain because of this. They will have to take this property BY FORCE. They have no idea how angry people here are. Simple fact, they will need to use military force to take all the proposed property they want to do this, plus it is forcing Florida which is a "right to work state" (meaning unions cannot force their way into a business and a business can fire someone for trying to start a union.) to unionize because of that stipulation in the stimulus package that says any government contracted labor and subcontractors must be allowed to unionize. Now, does that unionization end when the project ends...why no. See there are all sorts of strings attached to all that "obamamoney". When Obama promised to "help small businesses and small banks with stimulus money, is that going to come with the same strings that were attached to the big banks which was permanent federalization? Same with the auto makers like GM and Chrsysler. Obama said he doesn't want to run those companies, but he hires and fires CEOs at will, forces closings of successful dealerships because they were donors to the other political party, but don't worry, they will give it all back, just like they did in WW1 when they federalized the trains to make Amtrak, and you know how well managed Amtrak is, only losing billions annually...so think long and hard about this train deal and ask yourself, why are we doing this? The Florida legislature made this train a constitutional amendment long ago but in 2004, it was voted down by the people which took a 2/3rds vote, but log cabin Crist and his boy toy obummer are insistent on doing this. Think maybe you ought to ask your self why and wonder when this train will be pulling up into your town.

Crist opposes tougher corruption laws

I REALIZE I AM POSTING MUCH MORE LOCAL MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T GET THE ATTENTION OR THE COMMENTS THAT NATIONAL MATERIAL DOES, BUT THIS ISSUE IS A PerFECT PICTURE OF WHY THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT EXISTS. THIS IS PURE CORRUPTION BY A REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT. I AM WORKING TO CHANGE THAT FROM THE INSIDE AS I FEEL IT IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR HOW THIS STATE'S ELECTION LAWS AER SET UP. SO PLEASE UNDER STAND THAT I HAVE VERY IMPORTANT REASONS FOR GOING THIS DIRECTION THAT WILL HOPEFULY BE REVEALED WITHN THE NEXT WEEK. IN THIS POST, I WILL COLOR MY COMMENTS IN GREEN AS USUAL AND THE VERY IMPORTANT PARTS IN RED.

LATOUR LAFFERTY: PUT MORE BITE INTO FLORIDA'S PUBLIC ETHICS LAWS

BY Latour Lafferty
Published Saturday, January 2, 2010

The answer to Florida’s public corruption crisis can be found in a stronger and more vigilant Florida Commission on Ethics.

Gov. Charlie Crist recently asked the Florida Supreme Court to empanel a statewide grand jury to investigate public corruption, citing the “unconscionable violations of the public trust by public officials” and noting that he had removed more than 30 public officials from office during his three years in office, about one official for every month he had spent in office.

The U.S. Supreme Court is also evaluating the constitutionality of the federal “right of honest services” statute, which is widely used to prosecute state and local public officials when their ethical breaches rise to the level of criminal offenses.

Florida’s public ethics watchdog agency recently asked the Senate to consider legislative reforms increasing its jurisdiction to investigate breaches of the Florida Code of Ethics for public officials, including the right to initiate its own investigations rather than waiting for a formal complaint to be filed, lessening the burden of proof from clear and convincing evidence to a preponderance of the evidence and increasing the maximum fine from $10,000 to $100,000.

So, Crist can have anyone he wants prosecuted, but there is no way to investigate him without him being investigated. Gee...do ya see some opportunity for corruption in our Republican led state government there?????

The commission annually submits similar legislative proposals, which often fall on deaf ears. However, the current public corruption crisis should be cause for greater consideration. As more politicians are investigated or accused of public corruption, the need for a stronger and more vigilant Ethics Commission becomes clearer. So these folks that are charged with investigating corruption see corruption all the time and cant do squat unless Crist and the Legislature say so.

So bottom line, if ya pay yer dues, you can play around on the side with taxpayer money and you are protected by a retarded law that handcuffs the the legal system regarding the most corrupt segment of society, right?

In a 1982 Atlantic Monthly article, two sociologists put forth the “broken windows” theory of combating crime in urban areas — the idea being that addressing small problems quickly can prevent them from escalating into bigger problems, causing respectable citizens to flee urban neighborhoods.

When you don't treat a tiny tumor, what does it do????

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani made this theory famous during the 1990s, calling it “quality of life.”

A stronger and more vigilant Ethics Commission could prevent ethical lapses from escalating into full-blown public corruption offenses, and could restore the public’s trust and confidence in the ethical leadership of our public servants. The foundation of all public corruption and, indeed, all white-collar crime, is simply a lack of ethics.

And how much did crime rates drop in NYC when Giuliani was mayor????? Is it possible because before the NYC government cleanup, people wouldn't report a crime because it was likely a friend of the cops that were responsible.

I left two paragraphs of bovine scatology out as not to waste your time!

We should expect our public officials to adhere to their Code of Ethics, and we should empower the Ethics Commission to vigilantly defend those expectations. Our public officials should embrace this vigilance as it will help them avoid the slippery slope that results when a mere lapse in ethical judgment escalates to a chargeable offense. Crises are great opportunities, but only if we have a vision for a better future, and quality of life.

EXACTLY!!!!! (and we wondered why he and Obama got along so well!!!)
