The Donald says 'Yes' to tax initiative and Crist | Main | Lobbyist busted 'stealing' election for Romney? »
Backers of the 1.35% property tax plan already landed Marco Rubio's endorsement. Now they are putting him to work.
Rubio is scheduled to make a four-city fly-around Dec. 15. It would start in St. Pete then go to Orlando and somewhere in the Panhandle before ending in Miami. The date may change, organizer David McKalip told the Buzz, but Rubio is committed to helping garner support -- and signatures -- for the petition drive.

No more taxes! Not one more cent to big government liberals and facists! Close all the government buildings. Let's let parents pay as their children go to public schools -- just like we do public universities. Privatize every prison and charge the prisoners for their incarceration. Blackwater should be our police force. Judges should serve pro bono.

Sad that we had Rubio come into the legislature with a negative net worth, having never demonstrated any ability to accomplish anything except to deceive voters. Now, corporations are willing to give him air travel and anything else he wants to persue a political agenda. Political winner. Personal failure. An embarssement to Florida.

Noyice fewer anti-Marco posts. Reason: Charlie's staff (I mean posters) are busy updating their resumes...
RUBIO FOR GOVERNOR!

What an breathtaking idea--make tax cuts very simple without hoops and tricks and other shenigans so that bureaucrats can hire more bureaucrats to make business peoples lives hell. At least Rubio understand simplicity is better. As Reagan said: Government is not the solution, it's the problem.

This is the holiday season.
Who is paying attention to constitutional initiatives but a very small population base.
Of course obtaining ALL the necessary petition signatures on January 29th is the goal - however who will have read the petition?
People will be in a hurry to vote and do whatever else that they need to do on January 29th.
Thus few will read the language. Thus few will know what they are signing.
And the funders of this petition drive are very same people who complain about others not reading other petitions before signing them. Inconsistency or worse?
Footnote: Will the Secretary of State's office that quickly clear the proposal?

Who's paying attention, Paul? Not the Democrats. They are too worried about the fact that their party has totally disenfranchised them and is inciting others to ignore them altogether here in Florida.

Perhaps you forgot that the party leadership in both parties have treated Florida similarly.

What a poor example of leadership Rubio is showing. He is the Speaker of the House and he's out campaigning with Doctor No Tax against the plan his own House passed?
Are there no more statesmen left amongst the Republican legislators?
When and where is he going to be in St. Pete?

This is agrass-root effort Speaker Rubio is supporting.
I like the amendment.

Grassroots don't exist any more.
