IMPORTANT TO TALK TO YOUR STATE REPS
ANNUAL SJC COUNTY DELEGATION! 

The St. Johns County delegation will be held on November 22 from 8:30-11:30. Travis Hutson, Paul Renner and Cyndi Stevenson all want to hear from you! But here is the catch - you need to fill out this form and send it into curbow.danielle@flsenate.gov in order to secure your speaking time on the agenda. Does the growth in the county concern you? Speak up! Do all the preemption laws barring our local government from taking action on plastic bags and styrofoam annoy you? Speak up! Do you want to see less road building and more transit? Speak up! Better funding for our libraries? Speak up! You think that teacher pay raise that DeSantis is proposing is a good idea? Speak up before the legislature kills it! Do you like incentives to keep our farmers working their land instead of selling out to developers? Then advocate for Florida Forever funding! Get engaged!
 SPEAKER FORM:


_______________________________________________

SIGN THIS PLEDGE ASKING OUR CANDIDATES
AT ALL LEVELS TO COMMIT TO REJECTING
FOREIGN MONEY IN OUR ELECTIONS.
DEMCASTUSA WILL PUBLISH THE CANDIDATES WHO SIGN!



Background

DemCast USA and grassroots partners have created the Pledge to Defend American Sovereignty because we want our politicians to overtly state that they will refuse and rebuke foreign support/interference in US elections, including monetary or in-kind support, campaign coordination, and digital/social media interference.
Apparently, given current circumstances, we have to ask for this...though we shouldn't have to. We need to know who will sign this pledge. And - almost more importantly - who won't.

Why Should You Sign This Petition?

We need to draw a line in the sand, and let our politicians know that we need them to pick a side on foreign interference in our elections.
All signatures gathered, along with all verbatim comments, will be shared with appropriate Congressional delegations (based on signers' zip codes) by November 30th, 2019. With a groundswell of energy, we can pressure our officials to sign this pledge.
Those politicians who do agree to take the pledge will be listed on DemCastUSA.com, where we can track who has proactively agreed to the simple but incredibly important terms of the Pledge.
We hope that all politicians - on both sides of the aisle - agree to defend our sovereignty.

HELP DRUG COURT 
KEEP OFFENDERS MOTIVATED
JUST A SMALL INCENTIVE 
MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE:


Donate gift cards/certificates for Drug Court incentives. More often 
than not, incentives like a gift certificate to a movie or event can remind 
a struggling drug offender that there’s fun and beauty to be had in life 
if they can stay clean. These or check donations can be dropped off to
 St. Johns Legal Aid anytime Monday through Friday 8:30am-5:00pm 
or mailed to 
Jacksonville Area Legal Aid 
222 San Marco Avenue 
St Augustine FL 32084
  
Please be sure they are marked/noted as 
"to Megan Wall for Drug Court."

Message from Megan Wall, Attorney:

Hello friends--if you or your faith organizations or civic organizations or friends or anyone can assist with donations to the Drug Court participants that would be overwhelmingly wonderful!  $10, $15, $20 gift certificates for gas, food, even wholesome activities like bowling or movies (instead of drugs and using) would be most helpful to their recovery.  Judge Christine runs this program and would like to have some "rewards" (instead of just punishment and stays in jail and such) to incentivize these recovering folks with their treatment  Thanks so much--Megan

HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS!
STAY for James Dailey!

Statement of Attorney for James Dailey in response to the U.S. District Court 
for the Middle District of Florida’s Grant of a 
Stay of Execution until December 30, 2019:

“We are grateful that the U.S. District Court for the Middle District has granted 
a stay to allow Mr. Dailey's newly appointed federal counsel time to present 
his new and substantial claims of innocence, so that they may finally 
be heard on the merits. 
We urge the Attorney General and Governor DeSantis not to appeal or 
otherwise oppose this limited stay in order to allow Mr. Dailey’s case to proceed 
under the timeline directed by the Court.”
-- Carol Wright, Chief Attorney, Capital Habeas Unit, Middle District of Florida
October 23, 2019
The court’s order can be viewed here: https://tinyurl.com/y4uwhssa


Your help is needed for the work to be done. Please support Florida Death Penalty abolition action campaigns to end the use of the Death Penalty.
