Gov. Scott Signs Welfare Drug Testing Into Law ~ Good For Gov.Scott! Stay Strong!
Gov. Scott Signs Welfare Drug Testing Into Law
TALLAHASSEE
Expect challenges to a bill signed by Governor Rick Scott which will require welfare applicants to undergo drug testing.
The bill also requires that those who apply for welfare must pay for the drug testing out of their own pockets. However, the cost would be reimbursed if the person passes the drug test.
Republicans said the measure was needed because if taxpayers are screened at their place of employment, so should welfare recipients. The drug testing bill was a priority for Scott.
“While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction,” Governor Scott said. “This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.”
A similar law which passed in Michigan in 1999 which required random drug testing of Welfare recipients lasted five weeks before it was stopped by a judge. An appeals court ruled it unconstitutional after a four-year legal battle.
On Tuesday, Scott also signed into law another measure that bans the designer drug MDPV or “bath salts.”
Poison control centers in Florida have reported 61 calls of “bath salts” abuse, making Florida the state with the second-highest volume of calls. The hallucinogenic substances are readily available at convenience stores, discount tobacco outlets, gas stations, pawnshops, tattoo parlors, and truck stops, among other locations.

Good for Gov. Scott. He has really been getting attacked a lot by the left and the RINO's here in Florida. But he seems to be staying strong on some important things.
Gov. Scott is doing an excellent job, but since most of his efforts have to do with dismantling the socialist leviathan that the socialists have built over the decades, they are screaming like 3-year-olds who just had their lollipop taken away.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott Met With Convicted Terrorist Supporter Ahmed Bedier Yesterday At The 3rd Annual Florida Muslim Capitol Day ~ Gov.Scott Should Have Said NO Way!
Vidoe is Tom Trento, the Executive Director of the Florida Security Council speaking about ................... Rick Scott, Florida Republican Governor met with admitted Arab revolutionary leader Ahmed Bedier during Muslim Day in Tallahassee Florida on Tuesday 29 March 2011.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
It was the third annual Florida Muslim Capitol Day in Tallahassee organized by ex-Tampa CAIR director, Egyptian-born Ahmed Bedier, former spokesperson for convicted terror supporter Sami al Arian, and founder of United Voices for America (UVA). There were Florida National Guardsmen armed with sub-machine guns patrolling the courtyard of the Capitol Rotunda building.
Scott may have been under the influence of a Muslim sympathizer and noted conservative, Grover Norquist. Red-bearded Norquist was seen frequently on Governor Scott’s campaign bus during the 2010 gubernatorial election campaign in Florida.
Governor Scott chose to meet with Bedier and his UVA contingent while saying no to meeting with anti-Sharia activists organized by the newly formed TUW organization led by Tom Trento ( he is the man in the video above) of the Florida Security Council.
Gov. Scott did pose for a group picture, and a picture with Bedier who blocked the Governor’s exit. When the governor was asked by a TWU activist later why he made the appearance at the UVA event, he answered that he was just doing his job.
Muslim Bedier will clearly use the pictures as evidence of an endorsement by Governor Scott. Gov. Scott had better wise up and do it fast. Any time one gives in to these people in any way, they will USE it .
The Muslim Brotherhood may have won several Stealth Jihad victories across America in Washington, DC, Tallahassee – Florida’s State Capitol and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. started Sunday, March 27th with the launch of CNN’s “Unwelcome: Muslims Next Door” Soledad O’Brien’s “In America” documentary on alleged Muslim discrimination in Murfreesboro, Tennessee over the Islamic Center expansion project.

Florida Attorney General-elect Pam Bondi :Majority of States Will Join Suit Against Obamacare
Florida Attorney General-elect Pam Bondi told Greta that a majority of states are now joining the suit against Obamacare. At least 26 states will sign on to the suit challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare. 28 states may join the suit. Only 43 states elect an attorney general.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Good and it will grow too. Florida Attorney General-elect Pam Bondi is a conservative and the Tea Party movement backed her. She will keep fighting against obamacare. I was worried a little during the election that we would get people that would stop this fighting back and getting rid of obamacare. But for Florida it worked out so well.

Florida U.S. Senate Candidate Marco Rubio Does Great In Debate Last Night
Last night there was a debate in Florida between the three U.S. Senate candidates. Marco Rubio took it to Charlie Crist by saying flat out that Crist “wakes up every morning” and tries to decide what he can say to take Democrat votes away from Democrat nominee Kendrick Meek – after Crist refused to drop out once it was clear he would lose to Rubio.
All three candidates stood their ground on their previously stated views on illegal immigration. Congressman Meek is completely for granting amnesty to illegals, against the AZ immigration law, and is in favor of the Dream Act.
Governor Crist also supports a path to citizenship and is also against the Arizona immigration law. Crist also supports the Dream Act as well the manner in which the Democrats are trying to cram it down the American People’s throats.
Rubio on the other hand, is completely against any form of Amnesty, is against the Dream Act, supports E-Verify and condemns Senate Leader Harry Reid for attaching it to a military appropriations bill just to help win an election. Rubio stated:
“It’s a cynical way to play politics with the lives of real people, Harry Reid and the Democrats have been in charge of the Senate for almost two years now,and they bring this up, in this manner in a defense bill, at the last second on the eve of an election because he wants to win an election in Nevada.”
But the real quote, and the pivotal moment of the debate, was when Rubio turned to Governor Crist and lambasted him for his flip-flopping and for being the consummate opportunist:
“ Governor, I’ve got to point something out and I hope, and I am going to say this in the most respectful way possible, but I want to be blunt– Everybody sees what you’re doing here- everbody gets it. For twenty years you’ve run as a Republican-running on the same things that you now criticize me for. Four months ago you were running against me as a Republican and saying the things you now criticize me for. You only changed parties and did this Independent thing when you couldn’t win a Republican primary and now you wake up everyday and try to figure out what you can say or do to take votes away from Congressman Meek so more Democrats will vote for you. But Everybody sees it for what it is-everybody gets it. So I think we owe voters more respect than that because what is happening in this country is that they’re taking us in the wrong direction and if we stay on this road we are on right now we are going to lose everything that makes America special and the last thing we need in Washington are more political opportunists that are gonna go up there and basically be for whatever helped them get re-elected. Re-election and winning an election should not be the purpose of your public service- it should be a by-product of good public service.
Miami ABC's political reporter Michael Putney declared Marco Rubio the winner of the debate.
Wild Thing's comment........
Marco is COOL! He won’t ever need a teleprompter.
Wow – Go Marco Rubio. The frankness with which Rubio confronted Crist is EXACTLY what we need in conservative leadership – genuinely respectful but bold and honest. It takes courage, confidence and character.

Tea Party Republican Has Big Lead In Florida
Republican candidate Marco Rubio has opened a clear lead in a Florida Senate race, becoming the latest Tea Party favorite to benefit from voter anger at Washington, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Wednesday.
Six weeks before November 2 congressional elections, Rubio leads state Governor Charlie Crist, an independent, by 40 percent to 26 percent among likely voters, the poll found. Democrat Kendrick Meek trails at 21 percent.
The conservative Tea Party roiled Republican politics when a little-known candidate backed by the movement beat a veteran lawmaker in Delaware on Tuesday in the race to decide the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in November.
The Tea Party is a loose-knit group of mostly Republicans that has been attracting anti-Washington voters upset at government spending, taxes and deficits. They are strong critics of President Barack Obama.
Tea Party-backed candidates have ousted Republican establishment politicians in Nevada, Colorado, Kentucky and Connecticut. Crist fled the Republican Party earlier this year to run as an independent when it seemed clear he would lose to the conservative Rubio in the state's primary vote.
Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, is softening his rhetoric in an apparent attempt to appeal to moderates before the November vote.
"The language he is using is a little more mainstream Republican," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark.
The poll numbers show a big swing since mid-August, when an Ipsos Public Affairs poll showed Crist leading Rubio by 33 percent to 29 percent if Meek were the Democratic candidate.
Florida is one of a dozen toss-up Senate contests across the United States that could decide the balance of power in the November and the fate of Obama's legislative agenda.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Marco Rubio is a class act.
Crist is a windsock looking for a direction to point to!!! He is a disloyal self-absorbed hack that would say or do anything to get elected. He let us all know he had NO intention of listening to we the people. Another dem at heart that will tell us what is good for us when it is NOT. He is the worst of the worst of what is wrong with Washington today.

Despicable On So Many Levels Gov. Charlie Crist Vetoes Abortion Bill
.
As he positions himself to the center in the U.S. Senate race, Gov. Charlie Crist on Friday vetoed a measure requiring most women to pay for an ultrasound and hear a description of the fetus before they can have an abortion.
"This bill places an inappropriate burden on woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy," Crist said in his veto message.
Anti-abortion advocates and Crist's Republican critics in the Legislature immediately pounced on the decision. John Stemberger, head of the Florida Family Policy Council, called the veto "profoundly disappointing" and said it's now "crystal clear that he's pro-abortion."
Crist's move marks the third veto of a high-priority bill passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature. While lawmakers were still in session and he was still a Republican, Crist vetoed a campaign finance bill that he said would reinstate legislative "slush funds." He also vetoed a controversial teacher tenure bill that earned him wide acclaim among educators.
"Individuals hold strong personal views on the issue of life, as do I," Crist wrote. "However, personal views should not result in laws that unwisely expand the role of government and coerce people to obtain medical tests or procedures that are not medically necessary."
The other major candidates in the Senate race — though on opposite sides of the issue — harshly criticized Crist for the veto. Republican Marco Rubio noted that Crist has recently removed the "pro-life/family" section of his website.

Out Of The Closet Charlie Crist Goes Independent
A new Marco Rubio ad that let's Charlie Crist do all the talking! About the fact he said over and over again he would NOT run as an Independent.
.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist just announced that he's running for the U.S. Senate as a candidate without affiliation -- that is, as an independent.
"Our political system is broken," he said. "They look at Washington and they don't like what they see."
He added that he doesn't have a Republican Party or Democratic Party to turn to. "I need you -- the people -- more than ever. I am counting on you. And I believe in you."
Crist has NO principles it is all about him, all about how he can try to stay or get elected. He could care less about 'the people' or the State of Fllorida.
Charlie go pound sand!

Charlie Crist should have been taken down a LONG time ago.

Cheney Endorses Marco Rubio ~ Crist's Campaign LIES About FEDs Looking Into Rubio, It Is CHARLEI CRIST The FEDs Are Looking Into
"I don't think Floridians appreciate it".."it doesn't matter"....Crist.
Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday endorsed Marco Rubio in Florida's GOP Senate primary, saying Gov. Charlie Crist can't be trusted to stand up to President Barack Obama's agenda. Cheney, in a statement issued by the Rubio campaign, said Crist has shown “time and again that he cannot be trusted in Washington to take on the Obama agenda because on issue after issue he actually supports that agenda.”

Feds asking about Charlie Crist ties to Fla. GOP spending
Al Hoffman, the former RNC finance chairman and ambassador, tells us the FBI interviewed him several weeks ago as part of their investigation into activities at the Florida Republican party and credit card spending by party leaders and staffers.
"They had Jim Greer's travel expense records and wanted me to react to some of the issues surrounding that debacle. ... There wasn't one single question asked about Marco Rubio. There were a lot of questions asked about Jim Greer, (former party executive director) Delmar Johnson, Victory Strategies (the Johnson/Greer company paid by the party) and the (Greer) 527,'' said Hoffman, who recently asked Charlie Crist to refund his contributions and who expects to help Rubio. "Definitely they asked about the relationship between the Crist campaign and the party, relative to the co-mingling of funds. ... I believe they're after any federal election law violations, tax avoidance issues, and criminal fraud."
Hoffman said he assumed Crist knew a federal investigation was under way when Crist asked the U.S. Attorney to look into the matter: "He obviously had gotten wind of it and righteously called for an investigation."
Crist had said he was unaware of a federal investigation.

I’ve always found Crist absolutely disgusting. There is something about him and people like him that make my skin crawl. Obama has that same effect.

Arrogant Charlie Crist ( RINO ) Desperate And Not A Man of Leadership Considers Run As Independent
Crist 'listening' to suggestions he run as an independent
TAMPA, FL
Gov. Charlie Crist sat down with ABC Action News reporter Sarina Fazan Monday afternoon. When asked about whether or not he will run as an independent in the race for U.S. Senate, he said he has not made up his mind yet.
"I can tell you I'm getting a lot of advice in that direction. I'm a listener and so I'm certainly listening to it," said Crist.He also talked about the decision to pull all of his political ads.
"I wanted to talk about what we've done in the administration to improve education to keep crime down to reduce taxes and just the common sense approach that we've taken in this administration to share with the people of Florida," said Crist.Stay tuned to ABC Action News for more from Governor Crist's interview with Sarina Fazan.
In recent weeks, Governor Crist has lost popularity with his own party. The latest Quinnipiac poll has him trailing Marco Rubio by 23 percent.
Crist himself admitted, the hug between him and President Barack Obama in 2009 was what began a lot of the criticism.
"The hug is now pretty famous, infamous however you look at it," Crist admitted, "and i think it is really because of that issue we see the current climate of the Republican Party in Florida."
Despite that he says he doesn't regret it for one second.
"Absolutely not, I embrace it, no pun intended." he said.
But even some in his own camp, have abandoned him during this run for US Senate.
This Thursday he vetoed education bill SB-6, which would have marked the most sweeping education changes in Florida history. After that decision his campaign manger and long time mentor Connie Mack resigned. saying he could not support Crist's decision.

Wild Thing's comment........
Crist is an arrogant ass snake. A dirty, deceitful snake. People in Florida are onto this jerk!
In a few weeks, Charlie Crist has gone from telling Fox News that he ruled out running as an independent to saying last Friday that he’ll address the question of an independent run “later on.”
Here is something from Jimi DeMint:
Sen. Jim DeMint said Wednesday that Florida Gov. Charlie Crist should abandon his Senate bid and endorse his Republican primary rival.
DeMint was asked about chatter that Crist, trailing badly against Marco Rubio in the primary, might decide to run as an independent instead. "I hope that won't happen," he responded.
"That is a sour grapes approach - when you find out you can't win, you bail out just like Arlen Specter did in his [Pennsylvania Republican] primary against Pat Toomey," DeMint said of a possible independent bid by Crist. "I hope that doesn't happen in Florida."
DeMint made his remarks about Crist during a conference call organized to tout his endorsement of Colorado Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck.
The South Carolina senator threw his support to Rubio last summer

Florida's Attorney General Bill McCollum To File Lawsuit Against Obamacare Bill
McCollum to file lawsuit against health care bill
ORLANDO, FL -- Moments after Congress voted to approve President Obama's health care legislation, Florida's Attorney General announced he will file a lawsuit to declare the bill unconstitutional.
Bill McCollum will join Attorneys General from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, North Dakota and South Dakota to file a lawsuit against the federal government.
"The health care reform legislation passed by the U. S. House of Representatives this evening clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state's sovereignty," McCollum said in a statement distributed late Sunday night.
"If the President signs this bill into law, we will file a lawsuit to protect the rights and the interests of American citizens."
McCollum will hold a press conference at his Orlando office Monday morning to discuss his plans.
Wild Thing's comment........
Kudos to Bill McCollum. Charlie Crist is probably on his tanning bed.
