Obama Art in Tallahassee

This is on the side of the All Saints Coffee House in the All Saints District. I thought that you, the loyal blog reader, might like to see it.

I am not sure what all it means, the rays coming out of the Senator's head, or the Mohawk...

The fleur-de-lis, is the adopted symbol of France, but also the All Saints District.

The important part of this blog posting is this:

"During a bleak budget year, the poll revealed one slam dunk money maker: A $1 per pack increase in the cigarette tax. It got 69 percent approval. But Republican lawmakers have already resisted the idea, afraid of raising any tax in an election year."

This blog is read by every opinion maker in Tallahassee, and hopefully they are hearing what it says. The people want a cigarette tax. Let's give it to them!

I encourage you to get on the Buzz Blog and voice your support for Cigarette Taxes. Florida is ranked almost last with our $.35 per pack tax. Every household in Florida has to spend over $500 on tobacco related illness every year.

The best way to reduce tobacco use, is to raise the cost. We are in a budget crisis. Why wouldn't we raise the tax? Because the Republicans refuse to do what is needed for our state.
