I just found out about this website and organized fight against Florida's corrupt politicians. They will be continuing to bring focus to every meeting and bill passing in Tallahassee so the working people know what their elected officials are doing against workers and for the rich.

1. Looks interesting but the most recent event listed was Sept. 27?

Have they done nothing since then?

2. I just heard about them this past week.

There are several national and state organizations who have teamed up to fight corrupt legislation. The speaker mentioned that one strategy they have found successful so far is to send people into every meeting right alongside the lobbyists. He said that way the votes drop off considerably when politicians see their constituents in the audience. That is the one thing that I remember best, and I hope they update their site soon.
Florida has it harder because we cannot impeach the governor, and the state capital is very far removed from many parts of the state.

3. I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. Florida's Governor is subject to impeachment:

SECTION 17. Impeachment.—
(a) The governor, lieutenant governor, members of the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, judges of district courts of appeal, judges of circuit courts, and judges of county courts shall be liable to impeachment for misdemeanor in office. The house of representatives by two-thirds vote shall have the power to impeach an officer. The speaker of the house of representatives shall have power at any time to appoint a committee to investigate charges against any officer subject to impeachment.
(b) An officer impeached by the house of representatives shall be disqualified from performing any official duties until acquitted by the senate, and, unless impeached, the governor may by appointment fill the office until completion of the trial.
(c) All impeachments by the house of representatives shall be tried by the senate. The chief justice of the supreme court, or another justice designated by the chief justice, shall preside at the trial, except in a trial of the chief justice, in which case the governor shall preside. The senate shall determine the time for the trial of any impeachment and may sit for the trial whether the house of representatives be in session or not. The time fixed for trial shall not be more than six months after the impeachment. During an impeachment trial senators shall be upon their oath or affirmation. No officer shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the senate present. Judgment of conviction in cases of impeachment shall remove the offender from office and, in the discretion of the senate, may include disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit. Conviction or acquittal shall not affect the civil or criminal responsibility of the officer.
