These are our state legislators: Travis Hutson, Senator; Paul Renner, Rep. Dist. 24,Cyndi Stevenson, Rep. Dist. 17. These are the people we need to attempt to influence to see any laws change in the State of Florida, and this is how we do the "Act Locally" part of "Think Globally, Act Locally"
This St. Johns County Legislative Delegation will hold a meeting on Friday, December 18, 2020, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the St Johns County Commission Chamber Auditorium, located at 500 San Sebastian View, St Augustine.
Discussion of issues regarding local legislation for the 2021 Legislative Session will be held at this time. If you have something you want to promote to your most local representative, this is your chance. (Your editor spoke last year promoting laws which are in accord with home rule.)

AND OUR POSTCARD ADVOCACY GROUP
DOESN'T MESS AROUND!
A note from our tireless and fearless leader, Warren Clark:
Gov. Ron DeSantis, The State Capitol,
Tallahassee, FL, 32399-0001 Ph. 850-488-7146
Rebekah
Jones was fired for refusing to manipulate Covid-19 data for the state of
FL.
She
began publishing the real data on her own dashboard.
Then your
officers raided her home at gunpoint. (Video)
Sadly,
Governor, I think you should resign.

Please
pause the sale
of Arctic Refuge oil and gas leases.
We
the people voted for a different path on the environment.
The
native Gwich’in People rely on the Refuge for subsistence and culture.
Will
you remove tracts #1-#32 from consideration for leasing?

Georgia and vote!

Spread
the Vote I used to think it wasn’t hard for people to
get a photo ID.
A
photo ID opens so many doors to: food, shelter,
health care, jobs, voting …to a
better life!
Comment:
”Thanks for sharing
about 'Spread the Vote'! I donated today. I'm happy donating to campaigns,
but wanted to also donate to unique programs that have an impact on people's
lives as well.” –J.C.
Good
News! The VOTE FORWARD Georgia Campaigns were completely fulfilled! Millions of Georgia voters who do not vote
consistently are receiving personal letters from other voters urging them to
vote. We sent 775 letters. Additionally, several Indivisible St. Johns
participants and members of the Peace & Justice Initiative of the United
Church and Quakers downloaded names directly. WAY TO GO!

____________________________________________ AND IF YOU'RE REALLY MAD ABOUT THAT PROTEST BILL:
Demand Ron DeSantis Stop the Combating Violence, Disorder & Looting & Law Enforcement Protection Act
Oppose the Governor’s proposed bill that protects those who would interfere with peaceful protests and abridge our Constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of assembly and to petition the government for redress of grievances. _______________________________ DEMOCRACY RISING
The time is now. It’s time for a
massive overhaul of voting, money-in-politics, and ethics laws — all to make
our democracy more inclusive. |

The need to transform our democracy has
become more evident as we reflect on the events leading up to the election
across the country, including here in Florida, where we saw the disenfranchisement of returning
citizens, dark money seeped into campaigns, and voter confidence was shaken. Please join us by taking
action:
Check out the website: Florida for a Rising Democracy
Sign on to the Declaration of Florida for a Rising Democracy.
Attend a Town-Hall Panel Discussion: Declaration for American Democracy
on Wednesday December 16th at 1pm.
