Congressman Bill Posey continues to refuse to have a face to face town hall meeting with constituents. Instead he has chosen to hold so called "tele-town halls" and hide behind the phone. Today he attended an IRC Realtor Association Meeting in Winter Beach. Too bad he didn't see fit to meet with less well to do. 2018 is coming Mr. Posey.
A rally I participated in today supporting the ACA (Obamacare). I was so embarrassed as I watched news reports of Trump meeting with the German Chancellor. That's not to mention the nonsense he has spouted about the British and wiretapping. I hope our European friends won't give up on us as we correct this error.

I’m trying to speak, but can’t find the right words.
I feel like it’s not about right or wrong, but destruction.
Trying to hurt the “other side”
I see so much hurt, so much violence, so much misery.
What can one voice do against a force so determent…
Against hate that’s been here for centuries
Against a state of mind that some have adapted as their only way to deal with their emotion
Nothing has changed at all and nothing will, untill people stand up as one.
We all should have the same goal
Stop the suffering
Stop being respectless
Stop hurting
Stop thinking in borders
Start to unite
We are one, we are the same
We need to understand
Please join:
