About me:

What is Progress Florida?
Progress Florida uses innovative, internet-based organizing and communication tactics to expand public support for progressive causes, organizations and leaders. Working with progressive organizations and the netroots community, Progress Florida offers concerned citizens effective, easy and fun ways to make their voices heard on policy decisions that impact our quality of life. Progress Florida is part of the ProgressNow network of organizations working to build the progressive movement, online, state-by-state. To learn more and take action visit www.ProgressFlorida.org

“This will soon be the central place for Florida progressive activists to congregate. Get in on it early. Conservatives and Republicans should be scared.” – Florida Progressive Radio, May 22, 2008

“In a state controlled by Republicans, a new group is looking to use the Internet to help organize voters and build support on "progressive'' issues.” – Daytona Beach News-Journal, May 19, 2008

“A group of Florida progressives have banded together and formed a new group that they hope will have the same power and influence within the state with progressives as MoveOn.Org has done nationally.” – WMNF Public Radio – Tampa Bay, May 20, 2008

“…The site's debut includes an effort to seek Gov. Charlie Crist's support for blocking urban sprawl into the Everglades and a look at Orlando lawyer John Stemberger, the leader of the push for a state constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage.” – Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2008




PROGRESS FLORIDA AND ALLIES "LEND AN EAR" TO LEADERS OF THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE

Progress Florida, Florida PIRG, SEIU, Florida CHAIN and Florida Alliance for Retired Americans deliver 8,000 petitions and "Ears" to the leaders of the Florida legislature. We urged them to stop cuts to education, health care programs and environmental protection, and instead increase revenues by eliminating corporate tax loopholes.



A VICTORY FOR THE EVERGLADES....MAYBE
PROGRESS FLORIDA AND HOLD THE LINE KEEP THE PRESSURE ON LOWE'S

Today the Everglades are a little safer from poorly planned development.

Thousands of Floridians from around the state signed the Progress Florida/Hold The Line petition to Gov. Crist urging his Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to reject two developments, including a Lowe's big box retail center that threatened the Everglades. On Friday July 18th DCA did exactly that.

But our work isn't done. Lowe's, who still wants to cement urban sprawl to the edge of the Everglades, plans to fight this decision.

There are 111 Lowe's stores in Florida but there's only one Everglades.

We need to send a message to Lowe's right now and tell them to protect the Everglades, not pave it.

We've made it very easy to send a message to Lowes, simply click the picture below:

The voice of Floridians made the difference in the DCA's decision, and it can make the difference again by putting pressure on Lowe's to drop their legal efforts that threaten the Everglades.


Progress Florida has these goals:

Build a strong progressive movement in Florida.
Progress Florida uses innovative, internet-based organizing and communication tactics to expand public support for progressive causes, organizations and leadership. We provide powerful, free, online organizing tools and support to Florida’s progressive community to empower people to make a difference in their own community.

Win advances in progressive public policy.
Working closely with other progressive organizations and the netroots community, Progress Florida offers concerned citizens effective, easy, and fun ways to make their voices heard on critical policy decisions that impact our quality of life.

Generate hard hitting tradional and new media coverage.
Progress Florida works to generate news coverage that shines the public spotlight on progressive solutions to real problems. We work with our extensive network of members and advisors to maintain a 24-7 rapid response media operation.

Increase civic participation and educate the public.
Progress Florida will activate our members and make sure the progressive voice is heard on issues that matter to Floridians. We will educate the public about the records and positions of Florida’s elected leaders and hold accountable elected officials who are in the pocket of powerful special interests.




Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone who would like to help improve the quality of life for Floridans!

YOUR TRIALS AND SORROWS DEVELOP YOU

Trouble is the common denominator of living. It's the great equalizer of life. Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, give it meaning & transform it into something of value. Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change.

Life chips & pounds you to bring out your possibilities. She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, and discipline you in a thousand different ways, if she can develop a little character.

Everything gives way to that. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing. Who you become inside is everything. What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens.




Peace & Rock On!
