FLORIDA REPUBLICANS PUSHED TO ARM TEACHERS, NOW THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MAY HAVE GUNS

Republican lawmakers who pushed to allow teachers to carry guns in schools say they do not need to know how many Florida teachers are armed and participating in the so-called guardian program.After weeks of emotional debate in the state Capitol this spring, the Republican-dominated Legislature and Gov.

bsfarrington Plus, your pints are bigger than our pints. AND you have a line on your glasses to make sure that it’s an actual pint instead of a lot of foam. Something I think you need to let the world know about. I can help. twitter.com/steveschale/status/1205613320738410496

FlaDems . @CoryBooker is right - to have a strong democracy we've got to ensure everyone has equal rights and that starts with our elections and voting rights. #Amendment4 #LetUsVoteFL #flapol twitter.com/CoryBooker/status/1205601306515259392

FlaDems If we want change, we must demand it. Write, call, and email our Clemency Board of @RonDeSantisFL , @JimmyPatronis & @AshleyMoodyFL . Tell them to change the Clemency Board rules, allow automatic Restoration of Civil Rights, & drop the appeal of #Amendment4 . #LetUsVoteFL twitter.com/nikkifried/status/1205572946946859008

FlaDems Q6: Besides advocating for restoring the vote, what are some other measures that we can take to ensure that we are protecting our elections and the vote in 2020 and beyond? #LetUsVoteFL #Flapol

FlaDems Q5: While @RonDeSantis engages in voter suppression by blocking the will of 5 million+ Florida voters, we are focusing on engaging and re-engaging Florida's voters. What are some of the ways that everyone can get involved in engaging Florida in 2020? #LetUsVoteFL #flapol

12/13/19 2:18 PM

FlaDems Q4: Under @RonDeSantisFL , restoring voting rights through clemency is more difficult. In what way can we propose a fairer process for restoring voting rights for Floridians? #LetUsVoteFL #Amendment4 #Flapol
