He announced that he will not use state law enforcement to detain individuals in noncompliance with the recent executive order -- earning the comment on FB, "Vermont, where even the Republicans are Democrats."<br /><br />I support those in Florida who are working for change in ways that I can. It is a whole other world.<br />FL legislators recently failed to support easing restrictive policies on use of solar energy because "it rains so much and besides the sun does not shine at night." A lot of the political thinking around here does seem to come from a place where the sun don't shine and it is not the FL sky.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-84566767864524856722017-02-01T02:53:01.226-08:002017-02-01T02:53:01.226-08:00Good information.

We're quickly losing the checks and balances that can prevent further decline, especially if our Justice Dept. is run by a yes man along with so many he has appointed. Desired violence across country increasing. so supporters will welcome his taking power to establish law and order. There's more to be alarmed about.
