2018.14.2 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting cast your vote
We are asking North Korea to cease their R&D launching of Nuclear Mass destruction, yet here in North America we cannot ban AR-15 and weapons meant for war intended for mass shooting in the hands of civilians to kill anyplace, anywhere, anytime with impunity...enough is enough this has to stop now. More arms is not the solution; however, eliminating assault weapons is.

JACKSONVILLE, November 14, 2017......... With a backdrop of generators, chainsaws and pressure washers in a Duval County hardware store, Rick Scott on Tuesday unveiled his final budget proposal as Florida's governor, releasing an $87.4 billion plan that calls for $180 million in tax cuts and increased education spending.
“In 2010, when I (first) ran for election most people doubted that a business person could come in and try to turn this economy around and run a budget to cut taxes and make historic investments in education,” Scott said at a news conference at Northern Tool + Equipment. “But we have actually done all of those things.”
It is important to voice your vote in all Legislative issues especially related to Education. You can use your private phone, email and social media (no MDC resources allowed) to communicate directly with Governor Scott today.
