South Florida has had it!
Sunday, 11 May 2008
If the mayors of North Lauderdale and Margate get their way, South Florida would be the 51st state and Tallahassee would have nothing do with the way it is governed.

Mayors Jack Brady of North Lauderdale and Pam Donovan of Margate are asking more than 300 other cities to join them in their bid to make South Florida the 51st state and have sent out a resolution to the U.S Congress for the split to those cities, citing legislature concerns.

The cities of Margate and North Lauderdale are proposing a split between North Florida and South Florida with the boundary line from Palm Beach County down through Monroe County.
 
Obama moves ‘Wright’ along
Sunday, 11 May 2008
Democratic presidential Candidate Barack Obama took another step closer to become that party’s nominee for November’s presidential election. Despite the negatives arising from the incendiary remarks made by his former Pastor Jeremiah Wright, which was speculated to have a negative effect on his campaign, Obama scored big Tuesday’s primaries. He not only scored a convincing 14 point victory over Hillary Clinton in North Carolina, but narrowly lost to her by two points in Indiana, making her nomination now extremely difficult, if not impossible.

According to the latest estimates, Obama has secured 1842 delegates of the 2025 required to win the nomination, 183 short of the goal. He now leads Clinton who has 1686 delegates by 166. In the race for superdelegates, Clinton has a 13 point lead with 267 to 254. With the huge win in North Carolina, and the close finish in Indiana, Obama erased the popular votes lost to Clinton in the Pennsylvania primary, and now leads by almost 700,000 popular votes.
 
Emergency rooms over crowded with uninsured
Sunday, 11 May 2008
An estimated 3.8 million Floridians, 20 percent of the population, runs the risk of dying because they lack health coverage and cannot afford preventive health care. So says a report from Families USA that also states that “Uninsured adults are more likely to be diagnosed with a disease in an advanced stage.”

Families USA also estimates that six Floridians of working age die daily due to lack of health insurance, or approximately 2,400 people in 2006, and approximately 13,600 people between 2000 and 2006. The report revealed that in 2006 twice as many people died across the US because of the lack of health insurance as those who died from homicide.
