Gov. Scott: State Agencies Continue to Provide Assistance to Orlando Community
ORLANDO, Fla. – Today, Governor Rick Scott highlighted state agencies that are working to ensure the state is responding to any needs. Along with assisting the FBI with the ongoing investigation, FDLE currently has set aside more than $521,345 in residual Justice Assistance Grant funds for the City of Orlando and Orange County to be used for overtime and equipment associated with the terror attack. FDLE also requested $2 million in emergency Justice Assistance Grant funds from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on June 14th. The Florida Department of Children and Families is offering $500,000 in funding which may be used to address the increased needs of individuals and families in Orlando. Needs include crisis counseling services such as grief counseling, trauma support, emotional support that will be provided using these funds.
Governor Scott said, “As a state, we will continue to do all we can to help Orlando heal. All of our state agencies are committed to doing everything in their power to provide assistance to those impacted by this horrific tragedy. FDLE has been working with their local partners around the clock, but additional funding from the DOJ is needed to help support the ongoing investigation. DCF is also constantly working to coordinate with counselors on the frontline to offer essential services to victims’ families and provide a supportive place for individuals to grieve loved ones. I appreciate the dedication of our state agencies and local organizations as we continue to work together to support the Orlando community.”
FDLE Commissioner Richard Swearingen said, “FDLE agents continue to work with our law enforcement partners painstakingly investigating the Pulse nightclub shooting. FDLE members have also identified more than $520,000 in Justice Assistance Grants and we are requesting another $2 million from the Department of Justice to help with overtime and equipment costs associated with the shooting."
DCF Secretary Mike Carroll said, "As we rally to support and console survivors, victims' families, and residents impacted by the shootings, we not only can offer resources to help them find the strength and resilience to overcome, we can, as an organization and as individuals, show how this event can serve to renew our faith in humanity. We will remain steadfast in working with our partners to provide grief and crisis counseling to all those in need."
Florida Department of Law Enforcement While the FBI is leading the investigation, FDLE continues to assist in investigating links to terrorism, and work with the Florida Fusion Center to share resources, expertise and information to better identify, detect, prevent, apprehend and respond to criminal and terrorist activity utilizing an all crimes/all hazards approach.
FDLE is coordinating with regional assets and all involved law enforcement agencies. FDLE is also leading the officer involved shooting investigation. All involved officers have been relieved of duties per normal officer-involved shooting procedure. FDLE also assisted with notifying all victims’ families, which has been completed.
Florida Department of Children and Families DCF is coordinating with local service providers to provide crisis counseling to any individuals affected by the terror attack in Orlando. There is no income eligibility for the crisis counseling services. These services were initiated on Sunday and include assisting law enforcement officials in notifying family and friends of the status of their loved ones and offering grief and crisis counseling on site.

Governor Scott: DOJ Approves Funding for FDLE to Help with Orlando Terror Attack
ORLANDO, Fla. – Today, Governor Rick Scott announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has approved $500,000 of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) request for $2 million in emergency Justice Assistance Grant funds for the City of Orlando and Orange County to use for overtime pay for law enforcement and equipment associated with the terror attack. FDLE is working with DOJ to secure the remaining $1.5 million requested. FDLE has already set aside more than $520,000 in additional residual Justice Assistance Grant funds to help with similar costs.
Governor Scott said, “We appreciate the federal Department of Justice granting $500,000 in funding to support Orlando law enforcement as they continue this ongoing investigation. We are incredibly proud of the hard work and ongoing dedication displayed by our courageous law enforcement officers and first responders this week, and we are doing all we can to support their efforts. I look forward to DOJ quickly providing the remaining $1.5 million so we can ensure the City of Orlando and Orange County have every resource they need to assist their community.”
FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen said, “I appreciate the fast work by FDLE’s Office of Business Support coordinating with DOJ to secure these funds. This money will go a long way toward helping OPD and OCSO pay for costs associated with this investigation.”

Gov. Scott Files Lawsuit Against Obama Administration for Ending LIP Healthcare Program to Coerce State into Obamacare Expansion
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Today, Governor Rick Scott filed a lawsuit against President Obama’s federal healthcare agency for ending the Low Income Pool (LIP) healthcare program in an attempt to coerce the state to expand Medicaid under Obamacare. Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi have asked Paul Clement, the attorney who successfully argued that the Obama administration could not coerce states into Obamacare in NFIB v. Sebelius in 2012, to represent Florida in the case.
Governor Scott said, “President Obama’s sudden end to the Low Income Pool (LIP) healthcare program to leverage us for Obamacare is illegal and a blatant overreach of executive power. His administration is effectively attempting to coerce Florida into Obamacare by ending an existing federal healthcare program and telling us to expand Medicaid instead. This sort of coercion tactic has already been called illegal by the US Supreme Court.
“If the Obama administration can arbitrarily and capriciously end one healthcare program in Florida, likely leaving our state taxpayers to foot the bill, it would be irresponsible to further obligate state taxpayers by going deeper into Obamacare with an expansion of Medicaid. Moreover, the Obamacare expansion scenario contemplated at the state level in Florida would stick Florida taxpayers with a $5 billion bill over 10 years, at minimum. There is no true ‘free money’ for states through Obamacare, as we can plainly see from mounting cost estimates in states across the country.
“Every part of Obamacare has ended up costing more than was originally anticipated and resulted in Florida citizens losing the insurance plans they liked and were told by the President that they could keep. This is also why an Obamacare expansion plan that would force Florida citizens off of the private insurance plans they currently have through the federal exchange and onto Medicaid would be yet another forced interruption in healthcare services and consumer choice.
“Providing Floridians, especially our low income population, with access to affordable, high quality healthcare remains one of our top priorities – and the driving force behind our Medicaid reform efforts over the last several years. How we provide access to healthcare and insurance is a matter for intense deliberation and careful action. It is not a bargaining chip to be used by the Obama administration to force Florida into taking on Obamacare.”
Lawsuit is available here.

His administration is effectively attempting to coerce Florida into Obamacare by ending an existing federal healthcare program and telling us to expand Medicaid instead. This sort of coercion tactic has already been called illegal by the US Supreme Court.
“If the Obama administration can arbitrarily and capriciously end one healthcare program in Florida, likely leaving our state taxpayers to foot the bill, it would be irresponsible to further obligate state taxpayers by going deeper into Obamacare with an expansion of Medicaid. Moreover, the Obamacare expansion scenario contemplated at the state level in Florida would stick Florida taxpayers with a $5 billion bill over 10 years, at minimum. There is no true ‘free money’ for states through Obamacare, as we can plainly see from mounting cost estimates in states across the country.
“Every part of Obamacare has ended up costing more than was originally anticipated and resulted in Florida citizens losing the insurance plans they liked and were told by the President that they could keep. This is also why an Obamacare expansion plan that would force Florida citizens off of the private insurance plans they currently have through the federal exchange and onto Medicaid would be yet another forced interruption in healthcare services and consumer choice.
“Providing Floridians, especially our low income population, with access to affordable, high quality healthcare remains one of our top priorities – and the driving force behind our Medicaid reform efforts over the last several years. How we provide access to healthcare and insurance is a matter for intense deliberation and careful action. It is not a bargaining chip to be used by the Obama administration to force Florida into taking on Obamacare.”

Good Morning, Brad: Graciela requested I relay information regarding this morning’s commemorative ceremony. Please see event information below: Orange County Mayor Announces Rainbow 25 Sea to Sea Flag On Display at Orange County Administration Building Orange County, FL – In tribute to the lives lost at the Pulse Nightclub shooting and in support of freedom lovers worldwide, Section 93 of the Sea-to-Sea Rainbow Flag will be on display at the Orange County (Florida) Administration Building in Orlando, beginning Thursday, June 16. Mark Ebenhoch, Executive Director of LoveisLove Key West, will accompany the flag (Sect. 93). The Sea-to-Sea Flag has become a globally-recognized symbol of the LGBTQ movement and symbolizes acceptance, understanding, education, solidarity, and inclusion. WHAT: The original rainbow flag was designed by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 as a symbol of gay and lesbian pride in response to anti-gay activities. In the spring of 2003, Baker and a team of volunteers cut and sewed a 1.25-mile-long version of the flag in Key West, to celebrate the iconic banner’s 25th anniversary. On June 15, 2003, some 2,000 volunteers unfurled the flag from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico along the entire length of Duval Street, in a sea-to-sea representation of pride and diversity. Sections of the flag have since traveled worldwide.

BACKGROUND Comfort dogs touch down in Orlando to help victims, family members heal Jun. 17, 2016 at 10:35 AM
Brooke Sassman
TODAY
A dozen therapy dogs arrived in Orlando this week to bring a dose of comfort to the community rocked by the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.
Since Tuesday afternoon, the 12 golden retrievers have met with thousands of those shaken by the tragedy at Pulse nightclub Sunday, including survivors, family members and first responders.
Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Orlando coordinated with Lutheran Church Charities, a Chicago-based nonprofit, to fly in the animals and 20 handlers from seven different states.
Some of the 53 wounded in the shooting visited with the support pups at an intensive care unit on Wednesday.
A dozen support dogs were flown to Orlando this week to help offer comfort to those affected by the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub on Sunday.
"Even with their hands bandaged and tubes in, they just wanted to pet the dogs," Tim Hetzner, president of Lutheran Church Charities, told TODAY.
"In some cases, they talk directly to the dogs because they're good listeners," he said. "They're confidential, they don't take notes and they're non-judgmental. They just love on you."
The organization has 120 dogs in 23 states, all of which are trained to support people in crisis.
Early in training, which can begin when the pups are as young as 8 weeks, the dogs go to different events and take field trips that would simulate the unpredictability of helping people in trauma situations.
When tragedy strikes, the group moves swiftly.
"We try to have boots and paws on the ground within 24 hours of the invite," Hetzner said.
"We go wherever we're invited and never charge those we serve," he added.
All of the dogs on the Orlando trip are younger than 5.
2 They came from Illinois, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina, Indiana and Nebraska to support the grieving community.
The charity said the dogs will be in Orlando through Sunday, and they would determine at the end of the week whether a new crew will be sent to replace them.

By Christine Young and Teresa Peterson • Catholic News Service • Posted June 16, 2016
ORLANDO, Fla. (CNS) — Since the worst shooting attack in America occurred June 12, Catholic Charities of Central Florida has been working in the background to help victims, survivors and family members in whatever way possible.
Just hours after the shooting at a gay nightclub called the Pulse in Orlando that left 50 dead (including the gunman) and more than 50 wounded, six bilingual staffers from Catholic Charities arrived at the Hampton Inn in downtown Orlando, a meeting place for family and friends of the victims.
Deacon David Gray of the Diocese of Orlando was coordinating a pastoral response to the crisis and spread the word about the need for Spanish-speaking translators. The team of six didn’t think twice about going where they were needed.
Maria Torres, one of the team members, is an accredited representative for Comprehensive Refugee Services at Catholic Charities of Central Florida. She was on the scene as families arrived to find out if their loved ones had survived or had been killed after the gunman opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Torres was on hand to help translate for Spanish speakers and offer support and consolation to victims’ families.
“It was something I needed to do. It could have been me. I could have been the parent, sibling or friend searching for their loved one. This realization gives me sensitivity for others. When I received the call to help from our leaders at Catholic Charities, I did not hesitate to go and help,” she said. 2 Close to 30 percent of Orlando’s population is Hispanic, and some 300,000 people of Puerto Rican heritage live in the metropolitan area. Of those shot dead, more than half of them were of Puerto Rican origin, four were Mexican citizens and one man was from the Dominican Republic, according to law enforcement officials.
Torres saw the raw emotion unfold among family and friends of the victims and felt called to be the face of compassion and show Christ’s mercy to grieving family and friends.
“I was there to support, console and gather in prayer with the victims’ families and friends waiting for the news about their loved ones. I was there to help them hold onto hope,” Torres told the Florida Catholic, newspaper of the Orlando Diocese. “I was there when officials began to announce the names of people going to the hospital. There was screaming and crying as families and friends heard or didn’t hear their loved one’s name.
“I helped console a man and his family while they waited for news about his brother. Together we held hands and prayed in a circle.”
Catholic Charities continues to fill a need in the community. Orange County officials have called on Catholic Charities Immigration Services to help families of victims who are out of the country to arrive in the U.S. for funerals. Their Family Stability program also is providing funds to help with funeral costs for family members.
“We are serving in the background. We are the mortar that connects the bricks to help people put their lives back together. You can’t rebuild without mortar. We are trying to help each family with their individual needs,” said Gary Tester, executive director, Catholic Charities of Central Florida.
Catholic Charities has established a fund with $20,000 to help the victims and also are asking for donations to help meet the needs. To donate, visit www.cflcc.org and visit the donate page. In the comments box, indicate “support victims of shooting.”
In the midst of tragedy, the Catholic Charities office has received calls of support from people around the country. Supporters from Maryland have knitted prayer shawls and are sending them to Orlando for distribution to victims and loved ones so they know that many are praying for them in their time of need.
3 loved it and I love kids to this day. The next job I had was being a pastor, and that was it after that. I have served as a pastor continuously since 1976.
Where did you go to college? I went to Ouachita (pronounced Wash-i-tah) Baptist University in Arkansas, where I received a B.A. in religion. From there I went to Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where I received a Masters of Divinity in 1983. I remained at Southwestern and earned a PhD. in New Testament in 1991.
When and whom did you marry? I married Rachel Leigh Moore on January 6, 1979. We met at Ouachita Baptist University when she was a freshman and I was a junior. We married in the final semester of my senior year. We had been married only four months when we loaded up everything we owned in a Ford Grand Torino and a little U-Haul and moved to Texas to attend seminary.
How many children do you have? Three, two sons and a daughter.
How did you get into ministry? I went on a mission trip to Junction City, Kansas, with my youth choir when I was 16. We went to a downtown, inner-city park where we sang and ministered to people. Many of the people there were drug addicts and homeless. We prayed and talked with them. Even at 16 years old I began to feel God say, “I want you to spend the rest of your days giving yourself to people.” I didn’t know exactly what that meant — if I was supposed to be a pastor, a counselor — I just knew that I loved people and was to spend the rest of my life helping them.
Where else have you served before coming to First Orlando? My very first church was in the mountains of southwest Arkansas in a town called Murfreesboro when I was only 19 years old. There were only 21 people there on my first Sunday. I pastored there for three years while I was in college. The second church I served was First Baptist Church of Briar, Texas and that was while I was attending seminary in Fort Worth. We stayed there 10 years before moving back to Arkansas, where I pastored First Baptist Church of Camden. I served there four years, then moved down to Rachel’s hometown of El Dorado, Arkansas, and pastored Immanuel Baptist Church where her family attends. It was a great joy to pastor my in-laws. From there, I went to First Baptist Church of West Monroe, Louisiana, where I served for almost 10 years before coming to Orlando. God used each of these wonderful churches in my life to help me grow in His likeness and be the pastor He wants me to be.
What are some of your most memorable ministry moments? One very memorable moment for me was coming here to First Orlando. I wasn’t looking to go anywhere or even dreamed about pastoring a church like this. When this all unfolded and God opened the door and I came here to preach on May 15, 2005, it was definitely a defining moment for me. Little did I know all the great relationships I would form once I arrived here. The beauty of it is that every week things get better and better. Another memorable moment is the first beach baptism at Cocoa Beach. One of my favorite things to do in life is baptize.
2 When God stirred my heart to baptize in the Atlantic Ocean, I was thrilled. Standing in the ocean during that first baptism was just unbelievable. It’s something I will never forget.
What do you like to do with your free time? My wife Rachel and I really enjoy getting in our jeep on a pretty day and just driving around exploring Florida. I also love the outdoors — fishing, hunting, canoeing, bicycle riding and playing tennis. But my true love is my family. I love doing anything they want to do.

In the midst of tragedy, the Catholic Charities office has received calls of support from people around the country. Supporters from Maryland have knitted prayer shawls and are sending them to Orlando for distribution to victims and loved ones so they know that many are praying for them in their time of need.

BACKGROUND Comfort dogs touch down in Orlando to help victims, family members heal Jun. 17, 2016 at 10:35 AM

A dozen therapy dogs arrived in Orlando this week to bring a dose of comfort to the community rocked by the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.
Since Tuesday afternoon, the 12 golden retrievers have met with thousands of those shaken by the tragedy at Pulse nightclub Sunday, including survivors, family members and first responders.
Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Orlando coordinated with Lutheran Church Charities, a Chicago-based nonprofit, to fly in the animals and 20 handlers from seven different states.
Some of the 53 wounded in the shooting visited with the support pups at an intensive care unit on Wednesday.
A dozen support dogs were flown to Orlando this week to help offer comfort to those affected by the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub on Sunday.
"Even with their hands bandaged and tubes in, they just wanted to pet the dogs," Tim Hetzner, president of Lutheran Church Charities, told TODAY.
"In some cases, they talk directly to the dogs because they're good listeners," he said. "They're confidential, they don't take notes and they're non-judgmental. They just love on you."
The organization has 120 dogs in 23 states, all of which are trained to support people in crisis.
Early in training, which can begin when the pups are as young as 8 weeks, the dogs go to different events and take field trips that would simulate the unpredictability of helping people in trauma situations.
When tragedy strikes, the group moves swiftly.
"We try to have boots and paws on the ground within 24 hours of the invite," Hetzner said.
"We go wherever we're invited and never charge those we serve," he added.
All of the dogs on the Orlando trip are younger than 5.
2 They came from Illinois, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina, Indiana and Nebraska to support the grieving community.
The charity said the dogs will be in Orlando through Sunday, and they would determine at the end of the week whether a new crew will be sent to replace them.

Please have the Governor call Sheriff Hansell to check in on the officers, 407-908-2006. We are working on getting the officer numbers at the appropriate time. Osceola officer critical, but stable, after collision during Pulse procession
Two Osceola County police officers were taken to an area hospital after a vehicle struck their motorcycles as they escorted a funeral procession for one of the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
FHP spokeswoman Kim Montes said few details were available, though she did say that one officer was in serious but stable condition, while another was in stable condition.
The crash happened at about 11:30 a.m. near the intersection of Central Avenue and Donegan Avenue in Kissimmee.
Montes said the unidentified woman pulled out of a side street into the procession as the officers made their way toward the front of the row of vehicles to block off an upcoming intersection.
The motorist has also been taken to a hospital, though not for accident- related injuries, Montes said. Montes said little information was available at this time but a release will be issued later today. Names and vehicle information could be in that release.
The procession had just left the church toward the gravesite, though Montes said she did not know which victim the procession was for.

Date: Sunday, June 12, 2016 2:30:49 PM
Sheriffs,
FYI the press release below from Governor Scott regarding the terrorism attack in Orlando, Fl.
----
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Governor Scott made the following statement after declaring a State of Emergency in Orange County after the horrific shooting this morning in Orlando.
Governor Scott said, “This is clearly an act of terror that happened in Orlando this morning. It sickens me and makes me angry. Of course, this is a time of great tragedy, and in every tragedy, there is a flood of sadness, confusion and despair. But, this is an attack on our people. An attack on Orlando. An attack on Florida. An attack on America. An attack on all of us.
“We still have a lot of questions that are unanswered. Our prayers are with the families and loved ones of everyone touched by this senseless tragedy. I want to urge the people of our state to pray for the victims, families of those who have been killed and wounded. Pray for our city, state and country.
“We are a great state. We are a diverse state and we have wonderful people here in Florida that will respond with dignity, strength and fortitude in the days ahead.
“To the people who did this or may be thinking about doing something similar: you don’t want to commit an act of terror in our state. In Florida, our justice system is swift and our penalties are severe. We are at a 45-year crime low and proud to be a safe state for our 20 million residents and 100 million tourists.
“While our hearts are broken for the injuries and the loss of life that occurred here early this morning, I have every confidence that the Orlando community will come together and heal. We are a strong and resilient state. We have declared a state of emergency in Orange County to ensure all resources are made available to handle this tragic incident. We will also devote every and all available resources to help the city of Orlando heal.”

Good Morning, Brad: Graciela requested I relay information regarding this morning’s commemorative ceremony. Please see event information below: Orange County Mayor Announces Rainbow 25 Sea to Sea Flag On Display at Orange County Administration Building Orange County, FL – In tribute to the lives lost at the Pulse Nightclub shooting and in support of freedom lovers worldwide, Section 93 of the Sea-to-Sea Rainbow Flag will be on display at the Orange County (Florida) Administration Building in Orlando, beginning Thursday, June 16. Mark Ebenhoch, Executive Director of LoveisLove Key West, will accompany the flag (Sect. 93). The Sea-to-Sea Flag has become a globally-recognized symbol of the LGBTQ movement and symbolizes acceptance, understanding, education, solidarity, and inclusion. WHAT: The original rainbow flag was designed by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 as a symbol of gay and lesbian pride in response to anti-gay activities. In the spring of 2003, Baker and a team of volunteers cut and sewed a 1.25-mile-long version of the flag in Key West, to celebrate the iconic banner’s 25th anniversary. On June 15, 2003, some 2,000 volunteers unfurled the flag from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico along the entire length of Duval Street, in a sea-to-sea representation of pride and diversity. Sections of the flag have since traveled worldwide.

BACKGROUND Comfort dogs touch down in Orlando to help victims, family members heal Jun. 17, 2016 at 10:35 AM
Brooke Sassman
TODAY
A dozen therapy dogs arrived in Orlando this week to bring a dose of comfort to the community rocked by the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.
Since Tuesday afternoon, the 12 golden retrievers have met with thousands of those shaken by the tragedy at Pulse nightclub Sunday, including survivors, family members and first responders.
Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Orlando coordinated with Lutheran Church Charities, a Chicago-based nonprofit, to fly in the animals and 20 handlers from seven different states.
Some of the 53 wounded in the shooting visited with the support pups at an intensive care unit on Wednesday.
A dozen support dogs were flown to Orlando this week to help offer comfort to those affected by the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub on Sunday.
"Even with their hands bandaged and tubes in, they just wanted to pet the dogs," Tim Hetzner, president of Lutheran Church Charities, told TODAY.
"In some cases, they talk directly to the dogs because they're good listeners," he said. "They're confidential, they don't take notes and they're non-judgmental. They just love on you."
The organization has 120 dogs in 23 states, all of which are trained to support people in crisis.
Early in training, which can begin when the pups are as young as 8 weeks, the dogs go to different events and take field trips that would simulate the unpredictability of helping people in trauma situations.
When tragedy strikes, the group moves swiftly.
"We try to have boots and paws on the ground within 24 hours of the invite," Hetzner said.
"We go wherever we're invited and never charge those we serve," he added.
All of the dogs on the Orlando trip are younger than 5.
2 They came from Illinois, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina, Indiana and Nebraska to support the grieving community.
The charity said the dogs will be in Orlando through Sunday, and they would determine at the end of the week whether a new crew will be sent to replace them.

By Christine Young and Teresa Peterson • Catholic News Service • Posted June 16, 2016
ORLANDO, Fla. (CNS) — Since the worst shooting attack in America occurred June 12, Catholic Charities of Central Florida has been working in the background to help victims, survivors and family members in whatever way possible.
Just hours after the shooting at a gay nightclub called the Pulse in Orlando that left 50 dead (including the gunman) and more than 50 wounded, six bilingual staffers from Catholic Charities arrived at the Hampton Inn in downtown Orlando, a meeting place for family and friends of the victims.
Deacon David Gray of the Diocese of Orlando was coordinating a pastoral response to the crisis and spread the word about the need for Spanish-speaking translators. The team of six didn’t think twice about going where they were needed.
Maria Torres, one of the team members, is an accredited representative for Comprehensive Refugee Services at Catholic Charities of Central Florida. She was on the scene as families arrived to find out if their loved ones had survived or had been killed after the gunman opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Torres was on hand to help translate for Spanish speakers and offer support and consolation to victims’ families.
“It was something I needed to do. It could have been me. I could have been the parent, sibling or friend searching for their loved one. This realization gives me sensitivity for others. When I received the call to help from our leaders at Catholic Charities, I did not hesitate to go and help,” she said. 2 Close to 30 percent of Orlando’s population is Hispanic, and some 300,000 people of Puerto Rican heritage live in the metropolitan area. Of those shot dead, more than half of them were of Puerto Rican origin, four were Mexican citizens and one man was from the Dominican Republic, according to law enforcement officials.
Torres saw the raw emotion unfold among family and friends of the victims and felt called to be the face of compassion and show Christ’s mercy to grieving family and friends.
“I was there to support, console and gather in prayer with the victims’ families and friends waiting for the news about their loved ones. I was there to help them hold onto hope,” Torres told the Florida Catholic, newspaper of the Orlando Diocese. “I was there when officials began to announce the names of people going to the hospital. There was screaming and crying as families and friends heard or didn’t hear their loved one’s name.
“I helped console a man and his family while they waited for news about his brother. Together we held hands and prayed in a circle.”
Catholic Charities continues to fill a need in the community. Orange County officials have called on Catholic Charities Immigration Services to help families of victims who are out of the country to arrive in the U.S. for funerals. Their Family Stability program also is providing funds to help with funeral costs for family members.
“We are serving in the background. We are the mortar that connects the bricks to help people put their lives back together. You can’t rebuild without mortar. We are trying to help each family with their individual needs,” said Gary Tester, executive director, Catholic Charities of Central Florida.
Catholic Charities has established a fund with $20,000 to help the victims and also are asking for donations to help meet the needs. To donate, visit www.cflcc.org and visit the donate page. In the comments box, indicate “support victims of shooting.”
In the midst of tragedy, the Catholic Charities office has received calls of support from people around the country. Supporters from Maryland have knitted prayer shawls and are sending them to Orlando for distribution to victims and loved ones so they know that many are praying for them in their time of need.
3 loved it and I love kids to this day. The next job I had was being a pastor, and that was it after that. I have served as a pastor continuously since 1976.
Where did you go to college? I went to Ouachita (pronounced Wash-i-tah) Baptist University in Arkansas, where I received a B.A. in religion. From there I went to Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where I received a Masters of Divinity in 1983. I remained at Southwestern and earned a PhD. in New Testament in 1991.
When and whom did you marry? I married Rachel Leigh Moore on January 6, 1979. We met at Ouachita Baptist University when she was a freshman and I was a junior. We married in the final semester of my senior year. We had been married only four months when we loaded up everything we owned in a Ford Grand Torino and a little U-Haul and moved to Texas to attend seminary.
How many children do you have? Three, two sons and a daughter.
How did you get into ministry? I went on a mission trip to Junction City, Kansas, with my youth choir when I was 16. We went to a downtown, inner-city park where we sang and ministered to people. Many of the people there were drug addicts and homeless. We prayed and talked with them. Even at 16 years old I began to feel God say, “I want you to spend the rest of your days giving yourself to people.” I didn’t know exactly what that meant — if I was supposed to be a pastor, a counselor — I just knew that I loved people and was to spend the rest of my life helping them.
Where else have you served before coming to First Orlando? My very first church was in the mountains of southwest Arkansas in a town called Murfreesboro when I was only 19 years old. There were only 21 people there on my first Sunday. I pastored there for three years while I was in college. The second church I served was First Baptist Church of Briar, Texas and that was while I was attending seminary in Fort Worth. We stayed there 10 years before moving back to Arkansas, where I pastored First Baptist Church of Camden. I served there four years, then moved down to Rachel’s hometown of El Dorado, Arkansas, and pastored Immanuel Baptist Church where her family attends. It was a great joy to pastor my in-laws. From there, I went to First Baptist Church of West Monroe, Louisiana, where I served for almost 10 years before coming to Orlando. God used each of these wonderful churches in my life to help me grow in His likeness and be the pastor He wants me to be.
What are some of your most memorable ministry moments? One very memorable moment for me was coming here to First Orlando. I wasn’t looking to go anywhere or even dreamed about pastoring a church like this. When this all unfolded and God opened the door and I came here to preach on May 15, 2005, it was definitely a defining moment for me. Little did I know all the great relationships I would form once I arrived here. The beauty of it is that every week things get better and better. Another memorable moment is the first beach baptism at Cocoa Beach. One of my favorite things to do in life is baptize.
2 When God stirred my heart to baptize in the Atlantic Ocean, I was thrilled. Standing in the ocean during that first baptism was just unbelievable. It’s something I will never forget.
What do you like to do with your free time? My wife Rachel and I really enjoy getting in our jeep on a pretty day and just driving around exploring Florida. I also love the outdoors — fishing, hunting, canoeing, bicycle riding and playing tennis. But my true love is my family. I love doing anything they want to do.

When I received the call to help from our leaders at Catholic Charities, I did not hesitate to go and help,” she said. 2 Close to 30 percent of Orlando’s population is Hispanic, and some 300,000 people of Puerto Rican heritage live in the metropolitan area. Of those shot dead, more than half of them were of Puerto Rican origin, four were Mexican citizens and one man was from the Dominican Republic, according to law enforcement officials.
Torres saw the raw emotion unfold among family and friends of the victims and felt called to be the face of compassion and show Christ’s mercy to grieving family and friends.
“I was there to support, console and gather in prayer with the victims’ families and friends waiting for the news about their loved ones. I was there to help them hold onto hope,” Torres told the Florida Catholic, newspaper of the Orlando Diocese. “I was there when officials began to announce the names of people going to the hospital. There was screaming and crying as families and friends heard or didn’t hear their loved one’s name.
“I helped console a man and his family while they waited for news about his brother. Together we held hands and prayed in a circle.”
Catholic Charities continues to fill a need in the community. Orange County officials have called on Catholic Charities Immigration Services to help families of victims who are out of the country to arrive in the U.S. for funerals. Their Family Stability program also is providing funds to help with funeral costs for family members.
“We are serving in the background. We are the mortar that connects the bricks to help people put their lives back together. You can’t rebuild without mortar. We are trying to help each family with their individual needs,” said Gary Tester, executive director, Catholic Charities of Central Florida.
Catholic Charities has established a fund with $20,000 to help the victims and also are asking for donations to help meet the needs. To donate, visit www.cflcc.org and visit the donate page. In the comments box, indicate “support victims of shooting.”
In the midst of tragedy, the Catholic Charities office has received calls of support from people around the country. Supporters from Maryland have knitted prayer shawls and are sending them to Orlando for distribution to victims and loved ones so they know that many are praying for them in their time of need.

ORLANDO, Fla. (CNS) — Since the worst shooting attack in America occurred June 12, Catholic Charities of Central Florida has been working in the background to help victims, survivors and family members in whatever way possible.
Just hours after the shooting at a gay nightclub called the Pulse in Orlando that left 50 dead (including the gunman) and more than 50 wounded, six bilingual staffers from Catholic Charities arrived at the Hampton Inn in downtown Orlando, a meeting place for family and friends of the victims.
Deacon David Gray of the Diocese of Orlando was coordinating a pastoral response to the crisis and spread the word about the need for Spanish-speaking translators. The team of six didn’t think twice about going where they were needed.
Maria Torres, one of the team members, is an accredited representative for Comprehensive Refugee Services at Catholic Charities of Central Florida. She was on the scene as families arrived to find out if their loved ones had survived or had been killed after the gunman opened fire at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Torres was on hand to help translate for Spanish speakers and offer support and consolation to victims’ families.
“It was something I needed to do. It could have been me. I could have been the parent, sibling or friend searching for their loved one. This realization gives me sensitivity for others.

BACKGROUND Comfort dogs touch down in Orlando to help victims, family members heal Jun. 17, 2016 at 10:35 AM

A dozen therapy dogs arrived in Orlando this week to bring a dose of comfort to the community rocked by the deadliest shooting in U.S. history.
Since Tuesday afternoon, the 12 golden retrievers have met with thousands of those shaken by the tragedy at Pulse nightclub Sunday, including survivors, family members and first responders.
Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Orlando coordinated with Lutheran Church Charities, a Chicago-based nonprofit, to fly in the animals and 20 handlers from seven different states.
Some of the 53 wounded in the shooting visited with the support pups at an intensive care unit on Wednesday.
A dozen support dogs were flown to Orlando this week to help offer comfort to those affected by the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub on Sunday.
"Even with their hands bandaged and tubes in, they just wanted to pet the dogs," Tim Hetzner, president of Lutheran Church Charities, told TODAY.
"In some cases, they talk directly to the dogs because they're good listeners," he said. "They're confidential, they don't take notes and they're non-judgmental. They just love on you."
The organization has 120 dogs in 23 states, all of which are trained to support people in crisis.
Early in training, which can begin when the pups are as young as 8 weeks, the dogs go to different events and take field trips that would simulate the unpredictability of helping people in trauma situations.
When tragedy strikes, the group moves swiftly.
"We try to have boots and paws on the ground within 24 hours of the invite," Hetzner said.
"We go wherever we're invited and never charge those we serve," he added.
All of the dogs on the Orlando trip are younger than 5.
2 They came from Illinois, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, South Carolina, Indiana and Nebraska to support the grieving community.
The charity said the dogs will be in Orlando through Sunday, and they would determine at the end of the week whether a new crew will be sent to replace them.

On Tuesday I emailed Sunrail Corporate, Real Radio 104.1, and 2 contacts on the D.O.T. website and no response from all parties. I have run out of options and time is running out quickly! I along with I'm sure most of Orlando would like to attend the Candle light Vigil on Lake Eola Sunday evening. I had a thought & hope by posting this that some how my thought becomes reality. Due to masses of people attending & the already horrible traffic on I4 without such a gathering, maybe the Sun Rail could open their doors & hearts on this Sunday for a free ride to downtown Orlando & safely back home for all who wish to attend this community in need!
Thank you for you consideration,

Thank you Brad for helping to make this happen & also for responding to my email along with the attachment of the Press conference. By doing this for the People of Orlando you have lessened people's stress levels during a time when they are already very heightened & also making it possible for a much more high attendance for such an important & emotional cause. Love Orlando, where there is still much Pulse!

To read the letter, see below or click HERE. … June 17, 2016 Dear Florida First Responder: On Sunday, America was attacked. Unlike the far too many times before, this attack hit close to home. The City of Orlando, City Beautiful, was terrorized in the darkness. It is during these hours of terror that true heroes come forward, placing their lives on the line in defense of the innocent. The brave men and women of Orlando Police Department and Orange County Sheriff’s Office were our heroes. This city, our state, our nation and the entire world is thankful for the brave actions of those who so selflessly placed themselves in the line of fire. I will never forget the stories I have heard this week of your heroism and courage. We will all forever remember the fearlessness of the officers and deputies who immediately responded to this attack and ran into the darkness not fully understanding the danger ahead. We will remain in awe of the valor displayed by the SWAT members who rescued so many and defeated the terrorist. We are proud of officers and deputies who joined the response and carried the injured out of the nightclub to receive life-saving care. The bravery displayed by Orlando’s law enforcement, first responders and emergency room heroes in the early hours of Sunday morning prevented an even more horrific tragedy. You, and all of Florida’s law enforcement members who so bravely chose each and every day to protect our communities, have allowed Florida to achieve a 45-year crime low – and I am humbled by your service, dedication and fortitude. The coming days will be hard. We have so many unanswered questions and there will never be enough answers for the families and loved ones who are grieving. We have suffered an enormous loss and we must take time to mourn this tragedy together. As your Governor, I am proud to know that our citizens have each of you as our guardians and our protectors. Every day, you put yourself in harm’s way to protect our communities. This attack could have happened anywhere in our nation and I am comforted to know that you are there to keep us safe from evil. Please know that our state and nation continue to pray for strength, peace and healing for you and all impacted by this tragic loss.

Message Body: By what authority does Lynch usurp Florida law. Were the 911 tapes seized by the FBI? Were the police department 911 computers wiped clean? What country are we living in?
911 tapes are covered by Florida open records law: “119.07 Inspection and copying of records; photographing public records; fees; exemptions.— (1)(a) Every person who has custody of a public record shall permit the record to be inspected and copied by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public records.”
“Where a public record contains some information which is exempt from disclosure, s. 119.07(2)(a), F.S., requires the custodian of the document to delete or excise that portion or portions of the record for which the exemption is asserted and to provide the remainder of the record for inspection.” https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/...
Section 365.171(15), F.S., exempts from disclosure those records or information which reveals the name, address, or telephone number of a person requesting or reporting an emergency through the “911” system. The exemption, however, is limited to the name, address, and telephone number when in the custody of the agency receiving the initial “911” telephone call. https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/...
The police department is under a duty pursuant to s. 119.07(2)(a), F.S., to delete the exempt material and to release the rest of the record for inspection and copying
Lynch is making it far worse by hiding what is in the tapes.

Message Body: (prophetic word about Florida by Ryan LeStrange) I was preaching in Perry, Florida when I heard the tragic news about the attack in Orlando that left 50 dead and even more injured. My heart was heavy as I pondered the tremendous loss of life and the evil plans of the enemy to strike such fear in people’s hearts in this hour. At the time of this writing, I am in Panama City Beach taking some down time. I have been praying over the state of Florida and for America, making an appeal to heaven. Florida has a long and rich history of revival. My own spiritual father, Dr. Norvel Hayes, enjoyed some of his greatest exploits in ministry in the State of Florida. There have been numerous moves of revival in this state. I have always regarded Florida as both a revival and a forerunner state. The forerunner spirit is a brave pioneering spirit that goes out ahead, plowing open the ground and releasing the glory. As I was staring out at the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico, my heart was pondering the reasons for the tragedy in this state that’s demanding the world’s attention. I personally know so many powerful ministers in the State of Florida who are laboring for awakening and mobilizing the Bride for prayer and intimacy. Suddenly, I heard the Lord whisper, “It is Florida’s Ziklag moment.” What is a Ziklag moment? It is the moment of intense struggle and attack. David was one of the most powerful forerunners in the Bible, yet he was struck to his very core at Ziklag. We find the story in 1 Samuel 30:1-8: Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the south as far as Ziklag. They had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire. They had taken as captives all the women who were there. They did not kill anyone, but carried them off and went on their way. David and his men came to the city, and they found it burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters taken captive. So David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no strength in them to weep. Now David’s two wives were taken captive. David was greatly distressed, for the people talked of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in spirit, each over his sons and daughters. But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Please bring the ephod to me.” So Abiathar brought the ephod to David. David inquired at the Lord, saying, “Should I pursue after this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue them, for you will surely overtake them and will surely recover all.” David and his men came to Ziklag and found it burned with fire, their wives and families taken captive. These powerful warriors suddenly discovered that all they loved and held dear was gone! Their enemies had successfully executed a secret mission and had taken their loved ones. It was the worst possible outcome. They were hit and decimated on every level! Examining the meaning of the word “Ziklag” reveals some powerful parallels between the horrendous circumstances of David’s men and our own lives today. Looking at various opinions and root words associated with “Ziklag,” a clear picture emerges. Ziklag represents a place of pressure and distress where what is on the inside begins to flow out. David was doing what God had asked him to do as a forerunner yet the forces of evil met him with great strength. Florida is arising to take her place as a forerunner in the nation, giving birth to houses of prayer, powerful prophetic ministries and places of awakening. I am convinced that Florida will see many more wonderful outpourings of the Holy Spirit within her borders. This evil attack is an attack on the forerunner. The goal is to release fear and division. It was at Ziklag, in the midst of battle, that David’s own men turned against him. The enemy always works in times of crisis to release strife and division. He wants to abort unity and intensify the attack. David’s victory in Ziklag began with two powerful steps. First, he asked for the ephod, his priestly garment! He reclaimed his identity and refused to waiver off of how the Father defined him. In this moment Florida must embrace its prophetic identity and destiny as a forerunner state. It must cling to the words of the Lord and make war with the prophetic utterances. Secondly, David enquired of the Lord as to the next step. When the word of the Lord came forth, David received his marching orders and led the call to battle. It is imperative that Florida hears and heeds the prophetic words over the territory. Florida is a state that is alive with prophetic ministry and vibrant proclamation. In this Ziklag moment it is time to tune in, listen and follow the prophetic leading. There is a great emphasis on rich, powerful prophetic ministry in the state and in the nation. The spiritual leaders and voices of awakening in the state of Florida and in the nation must wrap themselves in the ephod of identity and arise! My prayer for Florida is that God pours out His healing balm and that the state grabs hold of its forerunner identity, refusing to let go. That the prophets and prophetic voices release the word of the Lord (not opinions or political debates) over the state. That the presence of a spiritual enemy is recognized and conquered in the spirit, and that tremendous healing balm is poured out in this Forerunner State! May God continue to pour out His presence and let His hand be mighty upon Florida and the nations—there is work to be done, prayers to be prayed, revivals to be birthed and exploits to enjoy. Ziklag shall not define the people of God, only His voice, His word and His plans. Cry aloud prophets—-pray with passion intercessors—-and keep pioneering forerunners.

You do a wonderful job. Thank you just simply is not enough. Thank GOD for you...... that will work. The reason for this follow up letter is to provide more info on the circumstances surrounding my son's possible release from prison. At 42 years old, he has come to realize that this is NOT where he wants to be and he is committed to a "new life" with a new start. His original charge stemmed from a small amount of drugs being transferred TO someone else, FOR someone else. Not a snitch, he took the punishment the Judge imposed. He stayed on probation for four years without problem - except payments. Financially, neither he nor family are able to pay/help with this. TWO years into his probation, the "Someone Else" he chose not to snitch on, MURDERED Jason's sister and best friend. It destroyed Jason's faith in the legal system for a while. He did nothing. There was nothing he could do. The murdered was once his brother-in-law, friend and boss. The grieving does not stop; you know that. After not being able to pay his probation fees, the Judge decided 15 months in State custody was justified. After probation, losing his sister, losing his income, and now having spent over 6 months in DOC custody, I'd say he's paid his dues. And owing the state $22,500 for incarceration? Let him go now, cut your losses, and he state won't HAVE to take care of him. He has learned by working in the garment factory, that he will have a skill when he gets released. His plan includes upholstery - with special interest in creating "In Memory Of.." items such as leather vests and flags. I'm all for it, but Multiple Sclerosis disability has its limits for me. I am attaching legal documents that contain the information you need (I hope) to make a decision to pardon or release my son from "captivity". He needs to be able to get on with his life. Please, Gov. Scott, GIVE HIM A CHANCE. Thank you. Shirley Maples 407-297-6957 6213 Christina Ct. Orlando, FL 32810 PS.

Message Body: Dear Governor Scott: As someone who lived in FL for 15 years and hope to retire there soon, I felt compelled to write. Florida is like a second home to me, and I feel horrible about the Orlando tragedies.
It got me thinking of how we might prevent tragedies like Disney. I would like to see more specific signage at all amusement parks, hotels, beaches, etc.
For example, I think our beaches do a great job of posting the flags to indicate riptides, and signs that indicate things like the presence of hordes of jellyfish. I'd like to see it extended to shark warnings. As you know, people have gotten in trouble with sharks, especially along our eastern beaches.
For all bodies of fresh water, I'd like to see signs that specifically say "Alligators, no swimming." And that already is the case in many city and county parks I've been to. Parks also go one step further. In Seminole, we have a very nice county park that has a dog park in it. Upon driving in, yellow signs showing a picture of snake, are posted. Quite powerful, and at Caladesi Island, there are signs warning of rattlers and telling people to stay on marked paths. Another attraction are when ducks are near water, people like to feed them, and then gators come to feed on the ducks. Non-Floridians don't understand just how fast a gator can stand up and run so unsuspecting people can get into trouble by feeding other wildlife.
Fencing in retention ponds may not be a bad idea. That could keep gators in/out, as well as children from falling in.
Unfortunately there needs to be signs warning people not to walk dogs close to the water. Enough said there.
At our amusement parks and carnivals, I'd like to see signs warning people to tie back long hair if they're going on rides, and tuck in loose floppy clothing. (There was a serious accident in another state, 2 weeks ago where long hair was caught in machinery).
I know Disney prides itself on their landscaping and grounds, and they do an amazing job. But some things just don't work -- like man-made beaches that aren't really for swimming. Much temptation, especially to the little ones.
Some things ARE common sense, but I find today that too many people are preoccupied with cell phones, texting, video games on their laptops and the like. They do not "think in the moment." And when you get distracted, accidents happen. Maybe signs would help. Thank you for your time Sir.

This is an interesting video and I think you will find it somewhat sobering. The horrific attack in Orlando and the resulting outrage and discussion prompted President Obama to lecture us yesterday on Islam as the religion of peace, and the need for more gun control and an assault weapons ban. As if we were school children, too stupid to recognize what is going on with Islam and the rest of the world, we were told that the now frequent terror attacks occurring around the world have nothing to do with the Islamic religion, and blah, blah, blah. What the hell is going on here? Maybe we are stupid! The following link will take you to a video that has been around, but I think it important that it be viewed by all, first time viewers and as reinforcement for those who may have viewed it before. The video is by a pragmatic Brit and focuses on David Cameron, but is just as applicable here. Please watch!

Message Body: Dear Governor Scott,
Like you, I am one of the thousands of Floridians who are shocked, grieved and donating blood in response to the Orlando shootings. This massacre has pushed our state into a glaring spotlight that could prove embarrassing, unless we get improved gun laws on our books NOW.
Here is an example of how inadequate our current laws are. State residents must pay a fee to complete the boat safety course needed to obtain a Florida boat operator's permit. I know this is true because I did that to get my own boat permit. But incredibly, there is NO gun safety training required to obtain a Florida gun permit.
That discrepancy is ludicrous. How long do you think it will take for the media and/or the tourism industry to discover this and call your office for comment?
I agree with the Florida League of Women Voters' emailed press release dated Sunday, June 13, titled “Take Action Now: Florida Must Lead on Gun Safety” http://thefloridavoter.org/ It reads:
"The time for action is NOW. Guns kill people. That is a fact. Florida must be a leader NOW for necessary gun legislation.
"Call your Florida Representative and State Senator. We must have expanded background checks and extensive REQUIRED safety training for all permit holders.
"This is a Public Safety issue. We must all be responsible and take action for the safety of our citizens.
"Elected officials need to hear from YOU. Contact Florida’s State Senators and House of Representatives here (link inserted).
"We have to take action. It is only through our collaborative efforts that the LWVF can truly make a difference and keep the Sunshine State safe.
"Thank you, Pamela Goodman President, LWVF"
And so I ask: Please take action NOW to help enact the gun laws necessary to salvage Florida's reputation as a welcoming and family friendly state.
Respectfully,

Yesterday a press conference was called by my friend State Representative Mike Hill as we coordinated a press release with channel 3 News and ABC - and Fox affiliates across the state of Florida to ask for a Special Session in the Florida Legislature to pass HB-3 (Andy's Law).
I also coordinated with Brigitte Gabrielle the President of Act For America and I called Governor Scott to call such a special session of the Florida legislature to get HB3 passed ASAP (Andys Law)
I am still waiting for Governor Scott to respond back to me in regards to this very import piece of legislation that must be passed.
It was left to die on the table by some weak politicians when State Representative Mike Hill first brought this very important legislation to the Florida Legislature in March and was denied a chance to protect victims of terror attacks.
HB-3 (Andy's Law) will ensure the victims families in Orlando and across the state of Florida will have a legal recourse to collect reparations and damages from any terror organizations and or people that provided material support for terror acts such as the one in Orlando. This will include victims of 9-11 etc..
Today Act For America will send out a mass e mail reaching about 23,000 people across Florida also asking Gov. Scott to host this special legislative session. What are we waiting for Governor ?

On June 12, in Orlando, Florida, an ISIS inspired terrorist shot over one hundred people in a crowded night club, killing forty-nine. For the unarmed victims, when seconds counted, the police were hours away.
It was three hours before the police were able to perform the necessary act of shooting the bad guy. That option SHOULD have been available to every lawful patron of that club. Why wasn’t it? The reason is gun control.
The attack took place in a so-called “gun free zone.” Even worse, anti-freedom “activists” are already taking this opportunity to dance in the blood of the victims while screaming for more “background checks.”
The Orlando murderer passed multiple background checks. He was the poster child for so-called “common sense gun laws,” with a government issued firearms permit that required repeated background checks and yearly renewals. Like virtually all recent mass killers, he passed a background check for the retail purchase of his rifle. But now politicians are telling us that if we just criminalize the private transfer of your firearms, this kind of thing would never happen. What nonsense!
This demonstrates the utter fraud of so called Obama“background checks.” Now the demonization phase – Since it’s politically incorrect to bring up the killer’s motives, the media blames the tool, the most popular small caliber rifle in America, the AR-15. Of course, we now discover that this terrorist didn’t even use an AR pattern rifle, but that won’t matter as long as there is an agenda to push.
AzCDL stands with the Pink Pistols, who, in their press release, state that now is not the time “to demonize the man’s tools, but to condemn his acts and work to prevent such acts in the future.”
To politicians everywhere, we say GUN CONTROL KILLS. We have a right to defend ourselves whenever, wherever and however we choose. You stand with us or against us. We will not let you exploit this tragedy to disarm us.

The FBI obviously ignored those recent ISIS warnings and we now know that they were actually interviewed this ISIS sympathizer two years ago and he had ties with ISIS back then but, the FBI didn't follow through and he fell through the crack like many others. This terrorist attacks are not being conducted by Bob, a Baptist from Georgia but Muhammad from the Mid-East who now live in our country.

ISIS Announced Florida Threat THREE Days Ago: “We Will Attack Florida”
Jim Hoft Jun 12th, 2016 ISIS made a major declaration three days ago that it was targeting Florida.
Shoebat.com reported on the threat three days ago. ISIS Muslim terrorists released a statement on their plan to attack Florida, and even put out a list with the names of people in Florida that they plan on killing. According to one report:
A pro-Isis group has released a hit list with the names of more than 8,000 peoplemostly Americans.
More than 600-people live in Florida, and one security expert believes that many of those targeted live in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast.
The “United Cyber Caliphate” that hacked U.S. Central Command, 54,000 Twitter accounts and threatened President Barack Obama is the same pro-Isis group that’s reportedly created a “kill list” with the names, addresses and emails of thousands of civilian Americans.
Reports of the list came to light online when Vocativ reported the list was shared via the encrypted app, Telegram, and called on supporters to kill.
Former FBI agent-turned lawyer Stuart Kaplan says the threat is especially alarming, because the people on this list are civilians who don’t have the security necessary to protect themselves.
“It’s going to create some hysteria,” he said…
The Pulse nightclub killer was identified as Omar Mateen.

There are at least 4 Muslim training camps here in the State of Florida.
With the attack that happened in Orlando they have declared war on us. You need to close these camps and all mosques. They have declared war on the USA and our faggot President Obama is still letting these animals into our country. Since our President isn't protecting us you as Governor need to step up and protect the people in your State. Florida has issued more building permits than any religious church. This has to stop.

Message Body: The shootings in Orlando these past two days are squarely on your shoulders and Republicans, who have fought every attempt to bring a level of sanity to our country by reducing gun violence through passing common sense laws covering background checks, waiting periods, restricting military-style assault weapons, etc. Such measures are not prohibited by the Second Amendment. Republicans have put all their efforts into trying to instill fear in Americans that any such measures will mean their "guns will be taken away " from them - when they know that is a total lie. McConnel's Republican script calls for saying Hillary is going to abolish the Second Amendment. Never mind that that is totally outside of a President's authority - just keep saying it, they'll believe it. And Republicans try to counter that more guns are the answer - pass laws allowing them on campuses, etc. Then people would be betterabl to protect themselves if they had guns against the shooters. If Chistina Grimmie had a gun on her autograph table, she wouldn't have had time to reach for it. Allow guns everywhere! Churches, theaters, workplaces !

Message Body: Dear Governor Scott,
The tragedy that has befallen the vibrant LGBT community, the beautiful city of Orlando, which my family calls home, and The Great State of Florida is beyond comprehension. As an LGBT person I wonder if my heart will ever heal and if my grief will subside. This act of hate by a madman could have been prevented had he not had access to a weapon, which is not designed for protection but for murder.
There exists no logical, rational, or defensible argument for the necessity of assault weapons in American society. You cannot in good faith deny that these weapons were designed for the battlefield and not the streets of Florida. They were intended for military personnel with advanced weapons training and not for you or I to keep in our homes.
You must recognize that assault weapons have become a serious problem for American society. How many more school children must die? How many more innocent people worshipping in church? How many more theatergoers? How many more innocent LGBT people enjoying a night of dancing? How many more innocent Americans have to die? 100? 200? When will Republicans do their job and what is morally correct?
It is your duty as Governor of The Great State of Florida, to immediately take action to press congress to ban all assault weapons. Inaction will no longer be tolerated by Floridians. If you refuse to act then the blood from the victims of the next attack will be on your hands and the hands of Congress. Fight to ban assault weapons now. They serve no purpose except to cause murder and mayhem and have no place in civilized western society. We cannot control people who wish to commit evil acts but we can definitely control the availability of these instruments of death and horror.
I should hope that you as a Christian and as an elected official charged with safeguarding your state will act in accordance with Thessalonians 5:15 “Seek that no one repays anyone for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone”. It is now your job as an elected official to do good for everyone. I would like to know what you plan to do?

Message Body: I have written many times about the revolving door problem in our prisons. There’s a basic principle in our justice system that once you serve your time you’ve paid your debt to society. This is how it should be, and it should apply across the board. Yes, that means that when you get out and probation is done, it’s done.
No more firearms restrictions, no more anything.
Why?
Because it focuses the mind, that’s why. Specifically, it focuses the mind of judges and parole boards on whether or not the person convicted remains a risk to society.
If you can’t keep playing post-hoc games then you must evaluate the risk up front and when you’re wrong it’s blatantly obvious why and who’s to blame. That in turn means that the public and should rise and demand that the person(s) responsible be held accountable — fired without pensions or even prosecuted if a negligence charge can be sustained.
A few years ago I wrote in the Ticker about a particular individual who shot a Marshal coming to serve a warrant on him. His rap sheet included his first serious felony, carjacking (and resisting arrest), for which he went to prison. He got out and then decided that sexual assault on a minor was a good idea, and went to prison again.
Subsequent to the second release he shot the Marshal.
Of course everyone wants to know why he had a gun. My question is why he was on the street, since it proved that his first crime was not an aberration but rather a way of life — by committing the second offense.
That Marshal should not be dead, but the indirect responsibility for it lies with everyone involved in that jackwad being released the second time, and thus in a position to shoot somebody.
Now here it appears we have an imam who prosecutors knew was radicalizing people in prison, they let him out, and…… the shooter in Orlando and he have been linked.
The gunman who murdered at least 50 people in a Florida nightclub early Sunday morning was a follower of a controversial gang leader-turned-bank robber who was released from prison last year despite warnings from prosecutors that he would recruit people to carry out violent acts, sources told FoxNews.com.
That’s right, we let gang leaders who like to rob banks out of prison even after they try to radicalize people into Islam while in jail!
Are you freaking kidding me?
Folks, there is only one answer to this sort of crap since the government won’t stop it: Everyone needs to start packing, all the time and everywhere and we must keep making noise on this point until the Second Amendment is respected nationally as written.
It is clear that so-called “law enforcement”, “prosecutors” and “judges” will not do their jobs. Nor will any other government agency just as they didn’t before 9/11 when the FBI and other agencies had plenty of warnings they ignored and even better, a large number of the hijackers had Florida Driver Licenses despite not being either citizens or permanent residents!
Oh by the way, that’s the ID they used to get on the planes.
The entire reason the Second Amendment exists is so that in the gravest extreme, no matter what sort of tyrant or jackass is trying to kill you, you can elect to have a fighting chance of living through the encounter. The only means or device that works for this purpose on a reliable basis irrespective of your age, sex or physical prowess is a gun.
It is specifically because your right to be alive is pre-political (that is, it exists prior to and independent of any political system) and the government not only might not be able to but in this case through negligence, intentional misconduct or both has failed to take any sort of step to interdict known and emergent threats that the responsibility for same does and must fall first on you, individually.
Governor Scott, I call upon you, and the other governors of states that do not have “Constitutional Carry”, to call your legislators back into emergency session (if necessary) right damn now and demand that same be passed, and that all laws restricting where someone may carry openly or concealed be immediately repealed except where said government is willing to provide full-time armed security (e.g. in a courtroom.)
Nothing else will do, and there is no compromise on this position.
You either can’t or won’t act even when you have foreknowledge as apparently was the case here and was the case on 9/11. That, in turn, means that we the people, who are the ones who get shot and blown up by planes used as bombs must have our right to attempt to not die respected all the time, everywhere, without exception.
Pass the law and repeal the garbage, or resign and get the hell out of The People’s House.

The FBI obviously ignored those recent ISIS warnings and we now know that they were actually interviewed this ISIS sympathizer two years ago and he had ties with ISIS back then but, the FBI didn't follow through and he fell through the crack like many others. This terrorist attacks are not being conducted by Bob, a Baptist from Georgia but Muhammad from the Mid-East who now live in our country. We need to stop political correctness and start profiling all Muslims living in this country and all Muslims traveling to this country. This terrorist targeted Gays, what group is next?? NOW ? My support for Trump grows stronger each day because he recognize this serious problem we face today.

ISIS Announced Florida Threat THREE Days Ago: “We Will Attack Florida”
Jim Hoft Jun 12th, 2016
ISIS made a major declaration three days ago that it was targeting Florida. Shoebat.com reported on the threat three days ago. ISIS Muslim terrorists released a statement on their plan to attack Florida, and even put out a list with the names of people in Florida that they plan on killing. According to one report:
A pro-Isis group has released a hit list with the names of more than 8,000 peoplemostly Americans.
More than 600-people live in Florida, and one security expert believes that many of those targeted live in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast.
The “United Cyber Caliphate” that hacked U.S. Central Command, 54,000 Twitter accounts and threatened President Barack Obama is the same pro-Isis group that’s reportedly created a “kill list” with the names, addresses and emails of thousands of civilian Americans.
Reports of the list came to light online when Vocativ reported the list was shared via the encrypted app, Telegram, and called on supporters to kill. Former FBI agent-turned lawyer Stuart Kaplan says the threat is especially alarming, because the people on this list are civilians who don’t have the security necessary to protect themselves.
“It’s going to create some hysteria,” he said…
The Pulse nightclub killer was identified as Omar Mateen.
UPDATE: 50 people were murdered at the club!
UPDATE: Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) said the killer has links to ISIS.

Below is an email I sent to Rick Scott. I ask that you all do the same:
Governor Scott, With what has happened in Orlando I beseech you to use an executive order to do two things. 1. Immediately allow any Florida CWP holders to open carry. 2. End the rule that if an establishment (bar) who's business is primarily alcohol sales that concealed carry is not allowed.
If even one person was carrying concealed in that nightclub there is a very good chance that not so many people would have been slaughtered. Our world changed on 911 and has continued to become more dangerous. While I law enforcement agencies do as much as they can it is impossible for them to be everywhere. Americans are now in a position where they must defend themselves. Open carry is a deterrent and in states where open carry is allowed is has been proven that crime goes down. Allow law abiding Florida citizens to help with this deterrent with open carry. Those of us with CWPs should be given this option.
Thank you in advance for what I hope will be prompt attention to this,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- June 15, 2016 so-called mainstream bends over backwards to hide from the public.
The lowest estimates indicate more than 100,000 defensive gun uses every year. The best scholarly figures show that guns save lives and stop crime more than 2.5 million times annually. Imagine how different the debate would be if the “fair and balanced media” showed even a fraction of that! Check out the bias: http://www.gunlaws.com/NewsAccuracy.htm. Basically, if you watch ABC or NBC, you C... BS.
Gran’pa Jack and his grandkids and friends have an educational time going to the range, learning how and why guns are useful and historic traditions for most Americans. Guns save lives, protect people and robust private firearm ownership is why America is still free. “Why don’t they teach us any of this in school?” Jack’s granddaughter asks. Gran’pa takes an honest look at the lack of education taking place in so many schools today and the role of educators as suppressors.

They're lying-- There are no guns on the street.
This myth is self-evident
by Alan Korwin The Uninvited Ombudsman (GunLaws.com)
Originally published in The Daily Caller, June 4, 2016
Today we're looking at what may be the most ridiculous gun myth the (non) progressive left has convinced itself-and most everyone else-is real. “We've got to get the guns off the street!”
Look, folks, there are no guns on the street. Sure, it's just an expression, I get that, but it's not really. It has risen to urban legend, and is said and believed with such vigor it distorts a rational view of reality and the problems we face. Just like all the gun myths do. It causes severe harm.
In the good parts of town, which is virtually everywhere, guns are in drawers, and closets, and nightstands, and gun safes, and quick access devices, and beautiful wood and glass gun cabinets. And kitchen drawers. And holsters of every shape and description imaginable. And in glove boxes and every other compartment of vehicles. And in gun stores, can't forget those. Guns are everywhere in America, all 300+ million of them. In at least 60 million safely armed homes. But they are not on the streets. They never were. It's mythical, from minds that need treatment.
In the bad parts of town, what reformers can no longer call ghettos but now sanitize as the inner city, or impoverished neighborhoods, or neighborhoods of color, or ethnic communities, or who can keep up with what the left calls the places where gangs hang and so many murders occur, well, the guns aren't on the streets there either.
They're actually in the same places you'll find them in the good neighborhoods. In homes, vehicles, sometimes under lock and key, sometimes not. Often enough people carry them, sometimes legally. But the guns aren't on the streets. People are on the streets. The guns are under people's control. Just like anywhere. The left needs to be sayin' “We've got to get the guns away from the criminals.” Tellingly, they don't.
So you can see the point. Guns aren't on the streets. That's a twisted view of the world and of guns, held by a twisted portion of the population that is so out of its mind with gun fear that it fantasizes about guns and gets it all wrong. There are no guns on streets. As long as you think that way you have no prayer of finding an answer.
What you have on the streets are criminals. Malcontents. Miscreants. Gangsters. People with no moral compunction or sense of decorum or decency. People who would rob and beat you senseless in a heartbeat if they thought they could get away with it or get something out of it, even just kicks. They do it in large measure to each other, becoming banal statistics. You hear about the 6,000 black-on-black murders constantly. What you don't hear about are the 6,000 murder trials, because there aren't any. Black lives don't matter enough. People exist who would shoot each other (or you) just to prove who they are, because they think so little of themselves. Life means little to them, they're out there. That's what you have “on the streets.” That's what we have to take off the streets. That's why good people carry guns -- it's rational.
Criminals have guns they're not allowed by law to have? But of course, monsieur! This is how it works. They represent a threat to society. They would assault you without compunction or remorse -- that's the problem. We don't have to get guns off a street they are not on. We have to get the murderers and stickup artists off the street. Until you start thinking like that, you will never solve the problem.
“Some people prey on other people.” Col. Jeff Cooper put it that way. He was right. Focus on that. Many more people would support removing all guns -- as long as you start with the criminals first. But that's sarcasm of course, there's no way to do that or 1) we'd have done it already, and 2) that's why the antis go after the innocent -- because they can. Until that changes, the world remains a dangerous place (like, since time began, and probably forever, nature's plan).
Connecting the dots, it is now evident progressives on the left aren't progressive at all, they're delusional, interested in getting guns off streets they are not on. The left is using a convenient catch phrase to confuse the issue -- a marxist technique from Saul Alinsky -- to evaporate your rights under false pretenses. Man, they are good at it.
“The left lies better than we tell the truth.” --Becky Fenger.

As your constituent, I am writing you today to urge you to oppose any and all gun control legislation that may be considered in the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando. Actually the Orlando incident eerily reminds me of Paris. In my eyes we now have terrorists on U.S. soil. Our muslim president ‘Huessin’ Obama and Hi’liar’y Clinton who are letting these people over our borders have no qualms that these border people grow up with different values and they will never blend in or follow our laws. Actually President ‘Huessin’ has put another muslim, Fatima Noor, into our U.S.Citizenship Department. Is that how the democrats do business. Use one muslim to let another one in?
Now is 'NOT' the time to attack our civil rights to be able to defend ourselves. Since Obama administration has taken office the small town where I reside (in Florida) has turned into something unrecognizable. And after he went on television to tell the world he was on the side of a criminal wearing a hoodie in the night looking into peoples windows when George Zimmerman was exonerated by a court of law it actually emboldened crime. I was almost carjacked the very next day while sitting at a stop light. Having protection in my glovebox saved my life. He is very good at defending criminals of a certain color or a certain religion. And it is endangering us all.
This is the liberal platform. Flood us with border people who kill for Allah and use it to their advantage. Now is not the time for the liberals to use this tragedy as an excuse to pass and promote their gun control agenda.
While I do not condone the heinous acts that occurred in Orlando, this knee-jerk reaction by anti-gun legislators will only infringe on the ability of law-abiding citizens to exercise their right to self-defense.
Please stand up for our Second Amendment rights and reject any and all calls for new gun control legislation.
Thank you, and I await your response on this important issue. From: [email protected] To: Governor Rick Scott Subject: Orlando Date: Monday, June 13, 2016 10:18:40 AM

Stephen J. Bacon 257 Bayou Circle DeBary FL 32713 305 778 7779 [email protected] Is Retaliation Necessary to Defend America? Today Americans are faced with the details of the Orlando massacre stemming from apparent ISIS terrorism. Do we turn the other cheek, lick our wounds and wait for another shoe to drop? No way! If necessary we need to literally circumvent our weak President and demand a monumental unilateral retaliation. Further, are we going way too easy with ISIS sympathizers and those that return to the US after joining ISIS? We must always be vigilant to keep our homeland secure and take the necessary steps to avoid a catastrophe, such as 911 and the Orlando massacre. For over a decade Islamic extremist have openly embraced an evil religious orthodoxy that promotes killing of innocent people as an ideology against non- believers, for the purpose of gaining redemption. Our leaders no longer can make errors of judgement which indirectly unleashed this ideology which had been politically bottled up for centuries. Unfortunately, this cancerous ideology is being dispersed throughout the world by resettling millions of Syrian immigrants in a humanitarian effort; which includes Jihadists. There is no way to screen them according to Jeh Johnson who is the Homeland Security Secretary and FBI head James Comey. Many host countries are now rethinking their humanitarian action in lieu of public safety. The US has been spared by giving only billions of dollars in aid, yet the NY Post exclusive indicated there is a belief that ISIS is already in America. In summary, over 14 million people in Iraq and Syria have been displaced by war and the numbers are growing. It is apparent that those nations involved in the refugee crises must consider actions to correct the cause instead of only the symptoms. This can be accomplished through US sponsored world synergism.

Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to put me in drama and to make me have trouble with the law because she heard my revelation that Guylene Presendieu would bring drama to my father’s house and would have three charges. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to make detectives, police officers and other people come to my father’s house and other people’s house because she heard Guylene Presendieu would bring drama to my father’s house. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to put me in drama when she can’t control me like she is doing witchcraft to control Guylene Presendieu and when she sees I’m going out because she did witchcraft so I don’t go out. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft on police departments and detectives so she can do witchcraft to put me in drama. Guylene Presendieu lied to her professor at the University of Central Florida and emailed her and told her that her grandmother and god sister died and she did not feel like living anymore because she did not want to go to class. Guylene Presendieu did not have any living grandmothers and did not have and know her god sisters. The professor sent two police officers to my father’s house and Guylene Presendieu told them that she never felt like killing herself before and she made them go away so my father would not hear. I told Guylene Presendieu she was going to get Baker Acted and Guylene Presendieu later said she could Baker Act Ashley St. Jean. Jeaccinette did witchcraft to make me get Baker Act and is doing witchcraft to make me go to jail. She is doing witchcraft so you and other people tell me not to email them about her witchcraft. She is doing witchcraft to make detectives, police officers and other people come to my father’s house and other people’s house.
Jeaccinette is using her nephew in Haiti that she did witchcraft to send to the Dominican Republic and other people to help her do witchcraft so she can try to cover her sins. She has been doing witchcraft to put words in people’s mouths and to make them say, email and tell me and other people what she wants. She is doing witchcraft to make you and other people tell me to stop telling them about her witchcraft.

My Dear Governor Scott:
Obama's media is NOT telling the TRUTH about Orlando killer; You need to ask some questions!
Where was the killer Omar Mateen living, during 2003 and in 2004? Was he with his infamous father, in Afghanistan?
Who is Marina Mateen? and, Where is she NOW?
Who are these members of the MATEEN clan or family that once had allegedly worked for the U.S. government?

Thank you for the e-mail, and while I understand the delay in generating a response especially in light of the recent killings in Orlando, I would like to add the attached article which I reference in the last line of my letter as a "scam" in Tampa that could be happening in Section 23 POA Deep Creek. This Association is securing or foreclosing on properties in Deep Creek in the same manner by preying on the elderly and handicapped individual in this community. How a Judge would think this is a good thing is beyond me; but, it maybe a situation of not seeing the forest through the trees. If it is such a good thing, why won't these folks continue doing it for their profit?
I therefore am asking for investigation into this type of situation that seems to be happening here and statewide. Your response is requested as this affects numerous constituents.

Date: Thursday, June 16, 2016 1:46:52 PM
Kris Anne Hall said that the Orlando shooting was Congresses's fault, not the President's. You may say, and I believe it true, that the President's policies are responsible. It is, in fact, Congress that approves and funds those policies. Perhaps if they were actually doing what they are supposed to be doing instead of everything else, things would be different What do you think?
Should Congress actually construct a budget or lump it all together in a big omnibus bill that preserves the status quo with a slight increase? A budget that some outside entity wrote? Should they be working on issues that they have no Constitutional authority because many of their helpless constituents demand government to solve the problems? Nobody actually knows the number of Federal agencies that exist. Hard to believe; but, it is true.
I think we should take responsibility and give "dangerous" freedom a chance. Our laws and governments should be aligned with the Constitution. Maybe Congress themselves should write the laws instead of self interested groups that benefit.
I think I'm burnt out of government by crisis. I think our school systems should be education kids about the responsibilities as well as the rights of citizens. They should be taught America is great. However you think, it is wrong to kill someone and until their video game brainwashed mentality is changed, things can't change. That Orlando shooter should have known and felt that what he did was wrong, evil by every standard. Instead he was overcome by conflict and the brainwash of Islam. He was gay. In order to redeem himself, not only did he feel he had to kill other non-Islam believers, it was an Islam bonus that they were gay, but also, he had to go out a mayrter, hence the 911 call.
The current policies have resulted in more mass shootings under this President than any other. Again, the President, more precisely, his policies, own this issue. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Turn back the dial to what works and not liberal excuses.

RE: Your recent comments as reported by Newsmax and others following the tragic Pulse nightclub shooting and in response to the transformation agenda-driven calls for even more treasonous gun control from Mr. Obama.
ISIS, Not the Second Amendment, Killed Orlando Victims.
It wasn't the Second Amendment that led to the deaths of 49 people in Orlando's Pulse Nightclub last weekend, "evil killed them."
"Radical Islam killed them"
"We have had the Second Amendment for over 200 years," "We need a president who will say 'my number one job is destroying ISIS.' People care about their safety. We have the resources, destroy ISIS."
BRAVO to you, Sir! Thank you for standing up for my fellow Floridians and Americans everywhere and for our American values.
To answer your question - when the nation will say "enough is enough." The nation has been saying this for quite awhile. The problem is No One at the federal level is listening. Thank God that our State Governors are.
The federal government is the source of the problem. Fix this and the problem will disappear.
Thank you for your continuing actions to defend our Republic from Obama’s transformation of America agenda. You have my continuing support and that of millions of my fellow Floridians and Americans who love America and will defend her.

Governor Scott, Considering the horrific event that has just occurred in Orlando I personally feel that you may want to look into the activities of imam Muhammad Mursi and evaluate his trustworthiness if he is in fact the “go to” person in Orlando for all things Islamic. If you take a few minutes to view the video link you will find that the iman supports Hammas and what it stands for. Sincerely, R. Wynn, Cape Coral, Fl. As I watched the first news conference in Orlando following the massacre Imam Muhammad Musri was called to the microphone to make a statement. Why? Of course, he called for prayers by all religious leaders and expressed a desire for these violent shootings to end.....but here is what a quick background check on the Imam revealed.....
"In another Orlando Imam related story, the Orlando Sentinel neglected to print an alarming incident with Imam Musri back in 2010. A team of eight investigative reporters caught on film Orlando Imam Muhammad Musri hosting a fundraiser featuring the infamous George Galloway, who raised over $50,000 from local Orlando Muslims for Hamas - video link. After the video was released George Galloway’s visa to enter the United States was revoked by United States Government. Imam Musri remains on the Governor of Florida’s Faith Based Advisory Council and is considered the “go to” person in Orlando for all things Islamic.

The Honorable Governor Scott, With what has happened in Orlando I beseech you to use an executive order to do two things. 1. Immediately allow any Florida CWP holders to open carry. 2. End the rule that if an establishment (bar) who's business is primarily alcohol sales that concealed carry is not allowed.
If even one person was carrying concealed in that nightclub there is a very good chance that not so many people would have been slaughtered. Our world changed on 911 and has continued to become more dangerous. While I law enforcement agencies do as much as they can it is impossible for them to be everywhere. Americans are now in a position where they must defend themselves. Open carry is a deterrent and in states where open carry is allowed is has been proven that crime goes down. Allow law abiding Florida citizens to help with this deterrent with open carry. Those of us with CWPs should be given this option. Thank you in advance for what I hope will be prompt attention to this,

Message Body: Dear Gov. Scott,
I find it completely reprehensible that you went out of your way on television to specifically single out your opinion that this had nothing to do with 2nd amendment rights. The number of people murdered and injured had EVERYTHING to do with current misrepresentation of the 2nd amendment. The same weapon has been purchased by other mass murderers. Aside from buyers who get their jollies at the local shooting range, this device has one purpose: to kill / injure a large number of people in a short amount of time. Gun manufacturers (and their supporters) love to peddle the falsehood about how different the AR-15 is *totally different* from a fully automatic weapon. No, it takes only minor, quick and supposed legal changes to make it automatic. A search on the internet of "how to convert an AR-15 to fully automatic" pulls up over 339,000 articles and videos on how to do this. If it indeed it was an individual who killed/injured all these people, and nothing to do with "2nd amendment rights", please let me know exactly what other type of weapon he would have used to attack so many people in such a short amount of time? I also include his ability to create a standoff situation in which he had time to call 911 in order to fulfill his suicide by cop ending.
Your comment is an insult to everyone who was murdered / injured in this event. By throwing up the 2nd amendment in the way you did, you made it clear that money made by gun manufacturers for its weapons and ammo far surpasses the value of the lives of the people murdered and injured in this horrible situation. I originally was going to call this a tragedy, but tragedies are caused by a set of unforeseen & unavoidable circumstances. These murders and injuries would probably not have occurred if the shooter hadn't had such easy access to an automatic weapon, magazines and ammo.

Message Body: Dear Governor Scott,
I find the notions expressed in your media release of the cause of the shootings in Orlando to be a woefully inaccurate analysis of this horrific incident. Because you have thoroughly failed to identify the causes that led to this violence, you have failed, also, to provide leadership for effective solutions and prevention of recurrences.
Below, is the public statement regarding the Orlando shootings made by a particularly brilliant and eloquent young, gay friend of mine, Austin Ruffer, who grew up in Pinellas County. In it, he does accurately analyze the root causes. I would appreciate your reading it and using it to reconsider your own analysis and leadership strategies for equality, against hate crimes, and against assault weapons.
"Queer spaces historically have existed for the safety of queer people in a world that still remains often unsafe for us. An attack like this is the realization of a nightmare scenario most of us probably try not to think about, even as we go out to our bars and clubs and other places. That it came to pass in such a devastating way is heart-rending and disturbing, and I don't know how to process it."
"I imagine much will be made of the attacker's faith. Don't let that shit fly. It is a deflection from the real issues here: bigotry and gun control. Don't let our leaders let themselves off the hook for the laws they champion that enable the former and hinder the latter."
