Once again Gov. R. Scott and his Corrupt Cronies are attempting to do away with our constitutional rights to a fair and open Ggvernment and fair voting rights while protecting themselves by writing laws to make themselves immune from prosecution for violating our State's Sunshine Law.

FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS

People please wake up. Stop them before it's too late. Keep them from being re-elected. They are destroying our constitutional Laws in favor of Big Business. This affects all of us who live here. Write your Rep and tell them we won't tolerate it anymore.

Thanks for pointing this out FFR and it just goes to show that you cannot take your eyes off this current group of scofflaws for a second.

I still have not heard back from writing my Rep and Sen back in Jan and 2 times each since then... this really is frustrating.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

I should have given you a heads up on this. I now have the Daily Bulletin from the Fl. HoR Bookmarked so I can read what bills and where they stand.

This is the link Florida House of Representatives - Daily Actions of The Journal

I had heard something about this in discussion but did not know it was actually a bill.

This must be one of the 1000 laws to change the way things are done in Florida that the
Crook r. scott was talking about.

Yes, way too many US politicians are pushing and going over the line of what our Republic is all about.

They have to be stopped somehow. I've e-mailed my Rep who is a GOP and she's not replied to any of them. They do not care.

Well,,,, I have good news, I think. I believe the bill referred to in this article is HB 7123.

House Rules Chairman Gary Aubuchon, R-Cape Coral, announced that the House would not take up the bill, HB 7123, this session.

Woo Hoo. I just read it. Thanks, Leb. You just made me a happy Lady.

Hopefully they won't be able to bring it up again before they are out of here.

Did you see there's a Bill in the House Now to make it possible to Recall the Gov., the Lieut. Gov and our Reps ? It's been read only once. I don't know how long it will be til they get to it again. But it's a start.
