Suppressing the Right of Minorities to Vote

How times have not changed! Centuries ago, all efforts were made to prevent certain people from voting, and here we go again! Rick Scott and the Republican dominated Florida legislation have made all efforts to prevent voters from participating in early voting. Not only have they implemented laws to reduce the early voting days from 14 to 8 days, but they have also made sure that the ballot is so long and complex that it has taken thousands of people at least four hours in Miami-Dade and Broward counties to complete the voting process! Worse, Scott refused to add one day more to allow thousands of people an opportunity to early vote due to the massive turnout. Florida is certainly evident that the oppressive system of voter restriction is a reality! The more things change, the more they remain the same! Just venting!

Citizen's Property Insurance - Shame On You!

Citizens Property Insurance - "insurance of last resort" for the state of Florida is like a vulture! The company is "suppose" to be a reasonable option for those home owners who cannot afford to obtain coverage from private insurance companies. However, the company is doing all that is possible to raise coverages. This years they required homeowners to open their doors to inspectors who were trained to find problems so as to create a reason to raise the insurance rates. However, there were so many complains from customers who luckily had documentation that the so called errors on the Citizen's reports were fictitious. So, the numerous complaints and media coverage caused Citizens to have to schedule re-inspections of the thousands of homes previously inspected. Now, Citizens announced that they intend to raise insurance rates in January, 2013. The company will stop at no end to sock it to homeowners who cannot afford these astronomical increases. The executives of the company have no conscience.

Background Check on Parents by the Florida Governor!

Florida's Governor Rick Scott has taken background check to the next level. He is now requesting that parents attending education forums who want to talk to him about public education should go through a background check! This is a first for any governor of Florida. A parent was recently denied the oppportunity to attend one of these forums because of a questionable background check. Ironically, this parent works with children and must have a background check to be cleared for employment. Since no information was forthcoming from the governor's office as to why the parent was denied entry into the forum, the parent paid her money and did a recent background check on herself to see if any questionable information would be identified. Of course, no derogatory information was identified, and the governor's office is now playing the blame game on their own law enforcement office. Could it be that she was denied because she is a Democrat?

Where Was Marco Rubio During Paul Ryan's Miami Visit?

Paul Ryan was courting the Cuban-American vote in Miami but........where was Marco Rubio? All the other Cuban-American GOP Congressional politician were seen. (besides David Rivera, who needs to keep a low profile with so many scandals - lol). But, Marco Rubio was noticeably absent from the videos in his hometown among his Cuban-American people. Further, in an interview with the local station political reporter Michael Putney, Ryan gave shout outs to Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, along with Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart for informing him on the complexities of lifting the embargo on Cuba..........no mention of gaining any knowledge from Marco Rubio............Hmmh!
