We Can Build an Ecologically Sound and Prosperous Economy 

Working together in solidarity, we veterans can build an ecologically sound and prosperous economy while upholding democracy and our values. We know well that the technology is available to forge a more productive and equitable economy.

The hurdle stopping us is the MAGA GOP  trying to take us down an economic black hole by denying climate change and making it worse. Compounding the damage, MAGA GOP attempts to stifle our voice and freedoms with authoritarian measures like limiting voting rights, unconstitutional laws, and cultural wars. 

Articles confirming our perspective:

DeSantis signs controversial ‘radioactive roads’ bill lobbied by fertilizer giant Mosaic
By Max Chesnes Tampa Bay Times

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that will allow the Florida Department of Transportation to study the use of phosphogypsum, a mildly radioactive byproduct of the phosphate manufacturing process, in road construction.

Florida’s vehicle fleet won’t go electric after Gov. DeSantis axes bill
By Gray Rohrer Florida Politics

Florida government vehicles will remain hooked to the filling station, not the charging station.

MAGA GOP doesn't want us to go electric because huge power companies want to continue business as usual to maximize their profits by picking our pockets.

Note that MAGA DeSantis reaps millions of dollars in campaign donations from power companies. Who do you think he works for?

MAGA Uses Dirty Tricks to Grab Power   
The No Labels Party has received an eight million dollar donation from the DeSantis campaign.  Why would DeSantis spend that kind of money supporting another party unless he thought it'd help him win? His hope is that the No Labels Party will pull support away from his opponent.
           

1. Invite your friends to our meeting.
2. If you are outside of the Sarasota area, invite your friends to a watching party for the meeting. 
3. Let your out of state friends know about DeSantis' authoritarian record in Florida. He wishes to impose his ideology on all of America.
