Floridians: Last hour to send e-mails to preserve church and state separation; stop vouchers

[seafan]

EMERGENCY ACTION FOR FLORIDIANS:


This morning at 10 AM, the Florida Taxation and Budget Commission will meet to vote on two major provisions to put directly onto the November 08 ballot that will gut the 140 year-old provision in our State Constitution that guarantees the separation of church and state; it will also allow for the resurrection of religious school vouchers which allow for discrimination based on religion and will destroy our public school system.


This committee is packed with unelected ideologues of Jeb Bush and Speaker Marco Rubio.
The Florida Supreme Court has already stuck down Bush's voucher initiative as unconstitutional; however, this has not stopped the efforts of Jeb Bush and his operatives from finding yet another way to push it into our constitution by utilizing this Budget and Reform Commission.


Please go to the web site of the People For The American Way to send e-mails with one simple click to all the members of the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission.

Help Save Florida's Religious Protection Clause from the Chopping Block

Right-wing members of the Florida Taxation and Budget Reform Commission are pushing a ballot initiative that, if successful, would amend the Florida Constitution to weaken the separation of church and state. Tell them NO.

1. How much more in taxes will the retirees have to pay in taxes?

Will they have to raise their sales tax to cover the cost?

2. Onward Christian Soldiers ...

Does anyone know if the vouchers are good at non-religious private schools or other public schools? One thing is for sure, religious nuts will stop at nothing.

3. Please keep kicked for next hour, please.

Comprehensive info here in earlier thread on these three egregious proposals that work as a battering ram to destroy our public school system, gut church and state protections and force Jeb Bush's school vouchers into our Constitution.


It is critical to stop this right-wing Republican commission from forcing these provisions onto our ballot in November.
