Selective recent political news and comments related to Florida
March 21, 2011 - Joe Golden is running in the Republican primary in the FL 20th district to challenge Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in 2012.  She needs to be defeated.  http://www.joegoldnerforcongress2012.com/
February 16, 2011 - Fla. scraps high-speed rail plan pushed by Obama
October 13, 2010 - US to allocate 800 million for high speed rail project - not politically timed, of course
October 13, 2010 - VFW calls on its own PAC to stop endorsements - Members complain about endorsements such as Ron Klein over Allen West.  Now, if union members would just do the same thing ...
October 11, 2010 - In Florida, Obama raises money, rallies spirits - Support Allen West for Congress.  See his "Welcome" video, in which he challenged the President and Ron Klein to "leave that closed-door, high-roller fundraiser and drive by our shuttered businesses and foreclosed homes."
September 29, 2010 - Poll: Obama, Dems poised to lose Grayson House seat - Good riddance.
September 21, 2010 - Why is Col. Allen West not a media star?  See the final minute of this video, as he "Breitbarts" another heckler.  We need more people like this in Congress from Florida - not more Graysons.
September 21, 2010 - Lawsuit seeks refund of GOP Crist donations - Not likely to succeed since politicians basically write the laws so that campaign donations can be used however they please, with very few restrictions.
July 19, 2010 - Dirty diapers, huckster, political ads go negative - Rick Scott vs. Bill McCollum
July 3, 2010 - Lt. Col. Allen West at the Tea Party of Fort Lauderdale - "There's a storm brewing"

June 4, 2010 - Fla. Senate candidate tests politics, ethnicity - still going after Marco Rubio

March 28, 2010 - Crist, Rubio face off in 1st Fla. Senate debate
February 4-6, 2010 - Did you miss the first National Tea Party Convention in Nashville?  If so, links to coverage of the event are shared at the above.  Sarah Palin was the featured keynote speaker at this event arranged by Tea Party Nation .  Event info at www.nationalteapartyconvention.com
December 7, 2009 - AP Analysis: With an election on the way, populist Fla. Gov. Crist remakes himself - again - Comment:  Say whatever the polls suggest works best to get elected?  Are Florida voters more principled than their politicians?  It's time to pay closer attention to them.
October 14, 2009 - Pro-Israel US lawmaker to quit for Mideast think tank post  Abandon ship?
October 12, 2009 - 'Die quickly' congressman hosts health care event  Grayson continues his efforts to rise above well-deserved obscurity and attract campaign money from beyond his district.
September 30, 2009 - Democrat says GOP wants sick to just 'die quickly' - Comment:  No, we just want the intended political career of Rep. Alan Grayson (D - FL) to die quickly in the 2010 election.  He has just demonstrated his unsuitability for office faster than some of his Democratic colleagues who have at least tried to conceal their ignorance or harmful beliefs. At least he is willing to openly say something really stupid, and then defend it. He must dream of being VP someday.
Broward County parents!  Did you agree with this decision by your Broward County schools  to have all kids view the Obama speech on September 8?  If not, remember this at election time.

The purpose of these tools is to make it easier for conservatives to find what their elected officials, political peer groups, and commentators are saying and doing on topics of interest to them at the time.

This will be similar to the Search: Americas tools created at www.ShortListNews.com , which make it easy to search across many economic development or chamber of commerce websites, such as to find timely information about the local business investment climate as shared by these promotional groups.  There are also more comprehensive state economic development directories at www.gdi-solutions.com

There are also similar search tools for research across the websites of many professional services related to capital investment projects which create or save jobs in new or existing business locations.
