I love DC in November

we get letters

Forwarded to DEC from Drew Martin, Conservation Chair, Loxahatchee Group Sierra Club. Drew also serves as a Supervisor, Palm Beach Soil & Water Conservation District, and is a DEC Committeeman and co-Zone Leader for Zone 6E (Lake Worth, Lantana, Atlantis, Hypoluxo, & Palm Springs.)

Please ask Governor to Veto SB 360


SB 360 will damage both the coasts and the Everglades. It does away with the DRI requirement. DRI's require large developments to be reviewed for significant impacts by the State. This prevents developers from placing significant developments into environmentally sensitive areas.


Right now developers have to pay for road improvements on large developments. If this passes, those improvements will have to be taxpayer funded. This means that if counties can't afford new roads we will all be stuck in traffic.


Click here to learn more about SB 360 and urge Gov. Crist to veto this awful bill:

http://www.progressflorida.org/page/s/SB360


SB 360 would count portable classrooms as permanent fixtures at our schools, leave local communities powerless to curb sprawl, and stick taxpayers with the bill for road improvements required by new developments.

The St. Petersburg Times called this bill, “A developer's dream to build more sprawling suburban housing developments without worrying about paying anything to handle the extra traffic.” That about sums it up.

Tell Gov. Crist if he really cares about Florida’s future he will veto SB 360 today:

Hello beautiful people,

Our January meeting will be Jan. 26th at Mother Earth Coffee in Lake Worth, 6:15 – 7:30PM.
If we get a guest speaker, I’ll let you know. For the moment, it will just be us. I expect we’ll have two candidates show up to our Feb. meeting, but I’m not inviting them unless you all promise me 15 people will show up. LOL Think I’m kidding?

In the meantime, we have plenty to work on. Elections are gearing up, we have at least 2 bills working their way through the process and o… Continue

When is Marriage a Marriage?

For me, this is a question of a Constitutional nature. I know some in the GLBT community won't like or agree with my comparison but from my liberal lens, this is how I see it.

The discrimination against the GLBT community with regard to marital rights is tantamount to making it illegal for whites and blacks to marry. That thought would be unthinkable today, as well it should be.

I am a hetero, married to a man for 19 years. Actually, I have been with him for 23 when you account for the "shacki… Continue

FL Co-Sponsors of DOMA Repeal Legislation

The Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, unconscionable, and illogical. Gay Americans are active in their communities, raise families, and pay taxes just like everyone else. All those who assume the serious legal responsibilities of marriage should be afforded equal rights and protection under the law.

Leave it Hastings to lay it out like it should be!

Notes

Wexler Note

Dear Allan.,

This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots - which occurred in reaction to anti-gay raids by NY police in 1969 and are considered by many to be the beginning of the modern gay rights movement in America.

My parents, compassionate people, taught me that it's not enough to be tolerant of people different than ourselves:  We must go beyond
