I opened up my site today and saw this advertisement "Should Floridians be Forced Into Obamacare?” This ad is being paid for by Republican Rick Scott for Florida Governor. Rick Scott, The founder of Conservatives for Patients’ Rights, a national media campaign that aimed to defeat health care reform legislation.
His whole objective is to defeat Health Care Reform because he knows that Health Care Reform will dig into his bottom line of take home pay. He does not want Health Care Reform for the working people when they are paying high insurance rates and getting less and less insurance coverage.
Rick Scott is telling lies just like the rest of the Republicans in office. One of his advertisement is telling us that we need to change the people in office and I totally agree with him on that one, I mean, change to Democrats and remove all Republicans.
First of all you are not made to buy Health Care Insurance, period. This is a myth and needs to be stopped. If you do not have Health Care Insurance you will be taxed higher, just like you would be if you made a lot of money, you move up in the tax bracket. After all, if you do not buy insurance, then you are making more money and you are taxed on that money. This Health Care Reform is also making it easier for businesses that want to get insurance for their employees in which you would have insurance and this would not affect you anyway.
Republicans do not want bigger government but everything that they do is bigger government. The Republicans pushed through Homeland Security, which is the largest expansion of government in history. They squandered our surplus into a trillion dollar deflect. They got us into two wars that could have been stop before it started but refused to so. The Republicans lied to the American People over and over again to get us into the War with Iraq.
Every time I hear a Republican on the news, I just about get sick listening to them telling us how bad the Democrats have acted and it is bad for our country. The real fact is the Republicans have destroyed our country and President Obama is bringing it back. People are now being helped with Health Care, the Economy is coming back, we are ending the wars, Wall Street will be accountable soon, and much more. President Obama is and has been for the people of America. Being for the People of America means disrupting the money that the Republicans have been making off of the American Corporations which is one of their objectives and a second is to make President Obama fail at any and all costs. If President Obama fails, then the Republican Party will take over the power of our government. That is their thinking, but the real lost is the American People.
When Republicans were in office they got us into two wars, job losses, auto company failures, bank failures, home foreclosures, and much more. This was a disgrace for our country and I do not want to be part of this type of government behavior anymore. The Republicans actually destroyed the US and are still trying to destroy it even more.
Lies like this ad and more from the Republicans have got to be stopped and with your help by voting all Republicans out of office in 2010 and even more out of office in 2012.
A good start is to vote for Alex Sink for Florida Governor, Kendrick Meek for Florida Senator.

Moving State Funds Should be Illegal
As I was going through the news I ran across an article from Florida Capital News called "Legislature Raids Trust Fund" Transportation money will be used to help plug budget shortfall by Jim Ash and I was thinking that Florida Republican Congress has already messed the Florida Budget up so bad that it is a wonder if anyone can figure it like it suppose be. They have routed and rerouted money in every direction but the right way, toward making a good solid future decision for the State of Florida.
If there and not if but is a tax of 12 cents per gallon for road repairs it is suppose to go to road repair and nothing else. Now the Republicans want and have made a decision of taking that money and using it on other things, I would say things as salaries and insurance for congress.
There were four hundred people going through Halls of the Capital to argue that road building is the best recession-fighting fuel just to find out that congress had already made a deal to move the money to fill other gaps in the budget. This is wrong, another late night backroom deal without letting the people know what is going on in our Capital until after all is done and over. This is the way Republicans have and still are trying to destroy our country.
Rep. Gary Aubuchon, R-Naples said "Once again, that's one of the hard choices we face with a budget that cannot meet all of our needs or desires," which is not a hard decision because they should not have been there looking in the first place. The money was to fix roads and only roads and not there to fill any gaps in the budget. Republicans always make things look good for them which has to be stopped.
Bob Burleson, president of Florida Transportation Builder’s Association, (FTBA), predicted that the legislative decision will cost Florida 11,000 jobs. This means more people out of work when there is no work in the first place. Republicans have their heads up their butts and no way to remove them when they make decisions like moving money from one area to another, like stealing from Peter to pay Paul, flat out wrong.
Then you have another Republican, Jeff Atwater, who knew the deal was a done deal and never brought it up in front of the people that were there to protest the money being moved out of the Transportation Budget to cover other expenses, which is also wrong. Why would anyone want to put these types of people back in office is beyond me.
Atwater said the Senate would fight to preserve the trust fund and create jobs. "We just won't stand for that," Atwater said. This is a bunch of bull since they have already made the deal to move the money and he knows this but trying to cover his butt and confuse the people for Florida hoping that they will forget or some other ridiculous situation comes up first to take its place.
Jeff Atwater said "In this process, it's about finding common ground and give and take,”. and this is wrong. This is a common statement from many politicians that should be removed from their vocabulary. All this means is that they have been doing things wrong in the first place. They put the common ground in because that way they can add things to a bill that has nothing to with that particular bill just to get votes for the bill. A bill is either good, bad or just needs to be improved and not meant to be compromised. They should consider only putting in a bill what the bill is related to only that bill and not add anything that is not related to it at all. An good example was the with the Federal Government on Health Care Reform Bill when they added the Education section to Health Care which should not have been there in the first place. Health Care Bill should be only Health Care and Education should be education only. Even though in this case it was good for the country but in many cases it is bad and the people never know about it until it is too late.
My suggestion would be eliminate congress salaries and insurance until they get Florida back on track where it is suppose to be, very good jobs, excellent education, excellent Health Care for all, no more backroom deals in congress or any other government agency.
Call your Representative and tell them not to steal from Peter to pay Paul, period. This is a bad policy and should have never been put in place.
It is time to replace all Republicans in the next election. In my area it should be Alex Sink for Governor, and Kendrick Meek for Senator.

Crist requests probe of GOP `mess'
BY JOHN FRANK
Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau
TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Charlie Crist asked federal authorities Friday to investigate the Republican Party of Florida amid growing concerns about secret deals and misspent money.
``It's a mess,'' he said. ``This thing stinks.''
In an interview, Crist said the U.S. attorney's office needs to take over the criminal investigation of former Chairman Jim Greer and examine the use of party credit cards by top GOP lawmakers.
