It's nice that Rep. Vern Buchanan acknowledges something needs to be done re: healthcare. But he's a man w/ no plan to help patients struggling to afford health Insurance. Too little talk too late for Florida residents. @politico.com

"We must underscore, not undermine, the obligation of those to whom we entrust the exercie of deadly force to us that force ONLY in pursit of lawful objectives." Well said former Congressman David Skaggs. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Congress "is failing. And flailing." It's as if everything important - and even sacred- is being trashed using illegal means. And Congressional leadership doesn't care. If they did, they would act, not just give lip service.

Come for fun, fellowship, food & speakers. Show your support for our Constitution & rule of law. The event is nonpartisan & open to all.

Kudos to Florida Rep. Alex Andrade for pointing out a misuse of Florida taxpayer dollars. But what about the $29+ million spent EVERY YEAR on fake clinics that mislead people and delay care? Enough is enough. Hear HB6001 www.reclaimchoiceflorida.org/close-fake-c...

Did members of Congress *really* know what they were voting for? It was bad enough the budget bill strips essential services from the poor, the sick and children. But it seems the bill also attacks the rule of law. @newsweek.com

In case you're not doing anything Saturday morning, there will be a large Anti-Trump rally in Sarasota, FL. More than 1,100 rallies, visibility events and meetings are scheduled in all 50 states. Image: @axios.com

Rep. VernBuchanan seems to think "blowing up" how our government operates (or our economy? or what?) is a good thing. All it seems to have done is harm retirees, the lives of federal employees, the less fortunate. @thehill.com @washingtonpost.com @indisarasota.bsky.social

An open letter to members of Congress - Do Your Job

If you receive a poll from Rep. Buchanan, vote. He refuses to meet with constituents. He needs to do his job. “Members of Congress are not helpless cogs in a political machine they cannot control. Individually, collectively, they have agency, responsibility and power.” rollcall.com/2025/02/19/f...
