Email, Call or Write governor Charlie Crist to veto HB 1143 when it lands on his desk.
The ACLU has a campaign going on urging Gov Crist to veto this bill. So far the religious right have been flooding his office in support of this bill. And the scales are tipping in their favor.

The bill not only requires a woman to have an ultrasound and be forced to view it before having an abortion but will also restrict businesses that receive tax credits from providing their employees with health insurance that covers abortion, even if they don't use federal or state subsidies to purchase their plans.

The religious right are being allowed to sneak in the back door and the need to be stopped.

Twice the number of protesters as last year, half the number of participants.
Noticed the lack of media coverage and thanks given to the participants for comming on their "lunch hour".
Could Ken's letter to the Sheriff and Chaplain and last year's protest have had an effect ? I think so.
Next year let's have the protesters outnumber the prayers

Urgent action alert to all Florida Atheists.

Senate and House committees have both moved forward with a plan to place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot that would repeal Florida’s 125-year-old basic “no aid” provision governing church-state relations in the Sunshine State. All but 11 states in the nation have some form of a “no aid” provision in their constitutions; stripping our governing document of this principle would be bad for everyone.

Urge legislators to oppose Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 2550 and House Joint Resolution (HJR) 1399. Call your state legilators and send them letters and emails right away.

They (tea/god party whatevers) make themselves so easy to expo$e... perhaps decoys of the real pressing human rights issues then?

For those of you interested in blasphemy, all Fridays during Lent can be Bacon Cheeseburger days. It's not kosher, eating sacred cow, forbidden pork, and not fish on a Friday. This would be great for a backyard grilling event!
