Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida

In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Watching the Florida Legislature Joint House-Senate Committee Meeting on Court-ordered Redistricting

Reminds me of what President Lyndon Baines Johnson said about a duck trying to make love to a football!
Or what the late Attorney General JOHN NEWTON MITCHELL said: "Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it's awfully hard to get it back in again."
Republicans violated Article III, Section 20 of our State Constitution.
Two Congressional Districts were blatantly gerrymandered to favor Republicans.
Let justice be done. Now.

The counsel for the Florida State Senate in the redistricting hearing is none other than WHITE & CASE partner RAOUL G. CANTERO, III, a/k/a "Roberto Garcia-Cantero y Batista,"former Florida State Supreme Court Justice, and the grandson of the late Cuban dictator FULGENCIO BATISTA. How revealing is that!
