Please Publish Correction

In EYEONCITRUS.COM, Renee Christopher-McPheeters on kp31 at 311219

Please have the following Letter to the Editor published as the 7/8 Out
the Window implies that my last name is illegitimate/fictitional and
that I have a "low name" recognition in all places except the "west
side " of Citrus County - these theories are untrue!

Thanks and have a good day!

Renee

In response to the 7/8/12 "Out the Window" article, I do take exception to the reference to myself, Rene Christopher-McPheeters, Candidate for Citrus County Commission, District 1, as "changing" my name, as "Christopher" was my last name at birth, and as having "low name recognition", being in fact, well known throughout Citrus County, this is a very unfair and biased article, and I truly feel that I deserve having my reply published! Instead, both of my opponents in this District 1, race for county commissioner, fall into your "low name" category: as on the campaign trail throughout the county, I have found that both of my opponents - the incumbent commissioner and incumbent councilman are either unknown or are known and the Citizens are "tired" of their "good old boy" cronyism. Whereas, I have stood for the Citizens not only on the "west side" issues such as the Unfair Crystal River Invalid Annexation (one opponent was for), the Unfair Interlocal Sewer Agreement (both opponents voted for) and the restriction of Flying US Flags(one opponent voted for/the other did not oppose) The publisher was correct in referring to myself as a "citizen activist" yet he failed to note that I have stood on countywide issues, as the only District 1, Citrus County Commission Candidate: Against the "Ottawa Fiasco"/Meadowcrest Multi-Million Dollar Giveaways on the Most Important BOCC Voting Days! Furthermore, many throughout Citrus County are aware of my ongoing project against child-porn: by Proclamation - receiving a Citrus BOCC Proclamation Against Child Pornography, a BOCC Resolution Against Progress Energy Rate Hikes, and also being Founder of the First Official 9/11/01 Memorial in Citrus County! 

I Am A Countywide Activist Candidate For The People!

Another big win for corporations

In Bill Nelson, EYEONCITRUS.COM on kp35 at 301226

Bill Nelson for U.S. Senate

Yesterday, in what’s likely the last chance this year to overturn the Citizens United decision, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Montana’s attempt to limit corporate spending in their state’s elections.
In other words, the floodgates on unlimited political donations by corporations are wide open and locked firmly in place.
Let there be no doubt: The false attacks against my record — bankrolled by corporations, anonymous donors with deep pockets and a whole host of special interests — will only intensify.
But, there is something you can do right now to help me fight back.
Please contribute $5 now — and help us stand up against unlimited corporate spending here in Florida by reaching our $100,000 grassroots goal before the June 30 deadline!
I think you and I know which side is going to benefit most from yesterday’s decision.
The Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson just dropped $2 million into this race because these folks want to buy a Senate seat for their extreme right-wing pals. America can’t afford to let that happen.
We’ve raised $31,000 toward our end-of-quarter goal, which is great progress. But we must hit our $100,000 target by midnight Saturday, not necessarily to compete with our opponents dollar-for-dollar, but to at least stay within striking distance — before we close the books on this quarter.
Contribute $5 now, before the deadline, and help us reach our $100,000 grassroots goal to counter the right-wing mega-donors who want to buy this election. We can’t reach our goal without friends like you!
Thanks for all your help. I couldn’t do it without you.Deadline: June 30. Contribute
Sincerely,

Bill

Tom Cushman Killed in Wreck CR-476

In EYE ON CITRUS, EYEONCITRUS.COM, Tom Cushman owner Howard's Flea Market Killed on kp29 at 301128

The owner of Howard’s Flea Market in Homosassa was killed in a single car accident in Hernando County overnight Monday.

Thomas R. Cushman, 71, of Homosassa was traveling west on CR-476, east of Simmons Lake Road. Just before 8 pm on September 27, 2011. For unknown reasons, Mr. Cushman lost control of his GMC Yukon while negotiating a curve in the road. His vehicle crossed over the center line and traveled into the eastbound lane of CR-476.  He then over-corrected, steering to the right which caused the truck to drive off into the grass of the north shoulder of CR-476.

As a result, the left front portion of the vehicle struck a tree and rotated counter-clockwise into a fence located at 20439 Lake Lindsey Road.

Mr. Cushman’s vehicle came to final rest facing southwest on the north shoulder of CR-476, east of Simmons Lake Road.  He was airlifted to St. Joseph’s Hospital for medical care where he later died from his injuries. REST OF THE STORY HERE

Connection: Strange Sounds+Rocky Mountain=Earthquake East Coast

In Connection: Strange Sounds Rocky Mountain Earthquake East Coast, eoc, EYE ON CITRUS, EYEONCITRUS.COM on kp01 at 301115

Reports have been coming in that the earthquake that hit the east coast of the United States, Aug. 23, 2011, was preceding by strange sounds in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Take a look at the video that was taken by hikers that day and listen to the sounds they captured. There has been no definitive answer as to what may have caused this strange noise, although, there is plenty of speculation, with one that is circulating being, a major explosion, or series of explosions, that occurred in the massive underground defense, shelter tunnels, built by the government over the last 40 years. Apparently these types sound, or noise, have preceded catastrophic events world-wide.

TOP SECRET

One of the huge machine that was used to burrow the tunnels and shelters

The video below is a father and daughter in their backyard, before the quake hit.

 

Earlier, August 11, 2011, these strange sounds emancipated from the city of Kiev in the Ukraine.

In Florida, March 2011, another occurrence, see the video below.

And here’s the kicker, the Rays Baseball game in Tampa/St.Pete, the evening of the day the earthquake hit across the East Coast of the United States, the sound is similar to the others.

Senator-Letter to Editor-Bill Nelson

In EYE ON CITRUS, EYEONCITRUS.COM, LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Senator Bill Nelson Florida on kp37 at 301116

Bill Nelson for U.S. Senate

How would you feel about turning over to your guaranteed Social Security savings to Wall Street?

You probably wouldn’t feel too good about it. Not too many Americans do.

That’s why Republicans have tried to keep their latest plan to privatize Social Security quiet — and that’s why our public petition to oppose the Republican plan has been gaining so much steam.

We’re joining together to bring some unwanted attention to the Social Security privatization plan Republicans have quietly introduced in the House, but we need support from Americans like you to make sure it doesn’t go anywhere.

Sign our public petition opposing House Republicans’ Social Security privatization plan now.

We should work within the current structures of vital programs like Social Security and Medicare to ensure both remain intact for those who pay into them during their working years, not turning them over to profit-above-all-else interests. Let’s join together to make sure this happens.

Thanks for staying engaged,
Bill
Bill Nelson

Letter to the Editor-SENATOR BILL NELSON FLORIDA

In Bill Nelson, EYEONCITRUS.COM, LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Senator Bill Nelson Florida on kp25 at 311106

Click here to visit Senator Bill Nelson's website

Here’s a link to a column I wrote for the St. Petersburg Times; please take a minute to read it over, because it’s about an issue that should be important to everyone who believes in the principle of one-person, one-vote.
http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/legislature-has-no-right-making-it-harder-to-vote/1167378

A so-called election reform bill is rapidly making its way through the Florida Legislature, which right now is in the final week of its annual lawmaking session in Tallahassee. If this bill becomes law, it would:

  • Significantly reduce the number of early-voting days;
  • Make voting harder for people who have recently changed their name or address, like, newlyweds or college students; and,
  • Subject voter-registration drives to stiff legal fines, even for inadvertent mistakes.

This is not a partisan issue, and I’m just one of many people and groups that strongly oppose this measure.
The Orlando Sentinel has said “it amounts to … ripping apart election laws” and “weakening democracy.”
The Tampa Tribune has said “this bill isn’t fooling anybody. It’s not about clean elections.”
Florida Today has called it an “assault on the most cherished of American rights.”
The Palm Beach Post has asked that we stop this “assault on all voters.”
But the state Legislature seems poised to pass it. One thing you could still do is e-mail Gov. Rick Scott and ask him to veto the bill if it reaches his desk. 

As The St. Petersburg Times has said: “Floridians of all political stripes should not stand for it.”

Gov. Scott’s heartless move

In EYEONCITRUS.COM on kp31 at 301108

Gov. Scott’s budget proposals have been nothing short of devastating, including massive cuts to public schools, health care, and environmental protection. But Scott’s most heartless budget cut came last week. He ordered an immediate 15% cut to care for Floridians with disabilities…on the same day he posed for photos at a Special Olympics event. 1
Send a message to your legislators right now – restore lost funding to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) in the next budget.disabled-callout.jpg

This is an emergency. Since 2003, legislators have cut and capped various portions of funding for the disabled despite a rising number of Floridians needing care. Today, an unprecedented 19,000-disabled Floridians are on a waiting list and can’t get access to the care they need. The situation has become so dire that aclass action lawsuit was recently filed against Gov. Scott.2
The result of consistent budget cuts and greater need for care has caused APD to run a deficit. Instead of working to shore up funding for some of Florida’s most needy, Gov. Scott chose to simply slash their budget by an amount care providers have said “may break our backs.”3
This isn’t leadership – it’s a gutless retreat from responsibility.
Florida’s disabled deserve better than this. Write your legislators and urge them to restore lost funding to health care for disabled Floridians.

The debate in Tallahassee over how best to balance our budget has wrongly centered on numbers, statistics, and the size of government, instead of the people government is supposed to serve. For many legislators, their goal has become providing corporate campaign contributors with yet another tax giveaway, instead of providing adequate care to Floridians with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, andautism.
Tell your legislators to get their priorities straight and demand they restore funding for health care to disabled Floridians.

We have an obligation to speak for those who often can’t speak for themselves. Thanks for all you’re doing to provide a voice for Floridians who need it the most.
For progress,
Mark, Ray, and the rest of the Progress Florida team
