THE BROWARD DEMOCRATAPRIL 2015 NEWSLETTER OF THE BROWARD DEMOCRATIC PARTY BROWARDDEMOCRATS.ORG
This meeting is critical and topical. Many incidents have occurred between police and certain groups. I believe a discussion on these events must be aired and in a respectful manner. To that end a program entitled "Law Enforcement and Race" will be our monthly meeting. The panel will include Sheriff Scott Israel, Public Defender Howard Finkelstein and State Attorney Mike Satz. Hopefully stakeholders will be in the audience. Please attend and bring a friend for this critical community discussion. We all benefit from better understanding
From the Chairman’s Desk

(3/31/15) Last week: Racism exists everywhere. Not just Fort Lauderdale. Whether its a disgusting video or racist texts. What is additionally disturbing is that these officers routinely patrolled minority areas. The action by Fort Lauderdale was swift and appropriate. But the more difficult task for this and perhaps other departments is to assess standards of policing to determine whether it differs by location. I have been the subject of anti-semitism on numerous occasions. Yet that does not rise to the level of overt racism by color. Our nation grows more diverse each day. We all need to just get along.
(4/8/15) The Anti-Defamation League issued their annual report indicating a rise in Anti-Semitic activity in Florida. South Florida led the way. The hatred ranged from spray painting swastikas on Temple walls spelling Jew on cars to hacking my neighborhood's temple website. These activities apparently have been borne out of a rise in Middle East tensions. The conflict is an excuse to express and act on hate. If we really are trying be a community, then perhaps we need a forum. One that talks and argues, but is united at the dinner table we call south Florida.
(3/16/15) This has been a difficult week in the world of human relations. When President Obama was elected, we believed that we were in a post racial era. Not true. Whether its the yelling of "liar" during the state of Union, or the fraternity in Oklahoma singing a racial hatred song, clearly we have miles to go on the road to tolerance. Additionally, the disrespect to the President and his officers exemplified by the 47 Republican senators sending an inappropriate letter to one of Americas enemies was appalling. The continuation of personal destruction must stop. America is better than that.
Our Chairman Mitch Ceasar has been chosen as a member of the Sun Sentinel Top 100 influential leaders in South Florida. You will be able to locate his weekly comments in the opinion section of the Sun Sentinel every Sunday.

TED CRUZ F IRST TO BOARD THE GOP CLOWN
C ARRemember the foolish waste of time and taxpayer money from Ted Cruz, the embarrassment from Texas, as he filibustered the United States Senate with his rendition of a Dr. Seuss tale of green eggs and ham?
In rebuttal to his reading it seems appropriate to respond in kind.

Thank you! I am Ted Cruz
With most sincere apologies to Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss.)
Editorial comment from Seth Gelman, Editor
BULLETIN BOARD
This is what Republicans oppose.
WHY???
Republicans aren’t ashamed or embarrassed. They are so in love with their big ideas to remake America, they introduced them twice. Once in the House, again in the Senate. Here are some highlights of the GOP plan for America: • 11 million families, seniors and children will lose food stamps. • 35,000 children will not get Head Start. • 133,000 fewer poor families will get housing assistance. • 2 million fewer workers will receive job training and employment services. • $1.2 billion will be cut from education. That could fund 4,500 schools and
17,000 teachers. Seniors aren’t exempt from the devastating cuts. The House GOP plan turns Medicare into a "premium support" model that essentially replaces the guarantee of quality healthcare for seniors with a system of coupons. They slash services for seniors, including 500,000 fewer rides to doctors and grocery stores.

R.I.P. Andrew Markoff
Marco Rubio announced his intention to run for President of the United States. In doing so he has disclosed his intention to leave public service. Congratulations Marco, by leaving the Senate you have finally done something good for Florida!
Last Friday Andrew Stephen Markoff died at his home in Hallandale Beach, FL, at age 48. Tonight Thursday April 16th at Ingalls Park which is located at the corner of SW 8th Avenue and SW 1st Street we will be holding a celebraJon of life. Andrew “Andy” loving called by his family, survived by parents, Carole and EllioO Markoff, his brothers, Robert Markoff and John Markoff and his sister Lauren Corwin. Andrew was involved in so many ways, giving of his Jme to others in the city he never ask for help for himself. The true meeJng of Tzedaka (Charity). He was so deeply caring for his neighbors. He was firmly commiOed to community jusJce and equality. His approach was oXen misunderstood but I can aOest to the fact it came not for notoriety, ego or hatred but from extreme intelligence and goodness. He oXen shared with me his frustraJon over why individuals were so self-‐serving and not caring about our community or those that are in need of help. Andrew volunteered in so many ways; on the Police Advisory Board, Charter Review, Palms Community AcJon CoaliJon, Kiwanis, DemocraJc CommiOees, and One Hallandale. He volunteered for animal rescue and taught conversaJonal English at our local library. I am sure there is more to add to this list but it shows how caring Andrew was. We were waiJng to hear back from Andrew’s parents who reside in California about when they would be here in Florida. This past Monday I received a call that his brother Mark would be coming in to represent the family and finalize Andrews’s affairs here in Hallandale Beach. He agreed that a quite celebraJon of life would be most appropriate. DonaJons can be made in his name to Jonah's Loving Heart Rescue, 269 S. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 I am sure many of you that worked with Andrew who are just finding out this sad news are also at the same point of disbelief, anger and sadness I was. There are no explanaJons in life. Only God knows what our future will bring. I will truly miss Andrews’s smart advice and his friendship. I know the many people and neighbors that knew of Andrews’s love of community will share in this senJment. I am happy God gave me a chance to spend some Jme with Andrew, no maOer how short, on his path. He has made a difference in many lives and I hope we all use his example moving forward on what Tzedaka means.
Mayor Joy Cooper, Hallandale Beach

TOP REASONS TO OPPOSE THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN “WORK HARDER, GET LESS” BUDGET
Makes Life Harder for Americans Today
• Hurts families by green-lighting tax increases for the middle class to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires• Raises taxes on American workers and families• Hurts students by cutting college aid• Takes away health insurance from more than 16 million people• Hurts veterans by cutting funding below President’s request• Hurts current retirees• Hurts future retirees by ending the Medicare guarantee• lock-grants nutrition assistance and Medicaid while imposing destructive cuts in both
Disinvests in the Future
• Guts strategic investments• Abandons the nation’s crumbling infrastructure• Rejects immigration reform
Includes Fast-Track Procedures to Push Through Harmful Policies
• Reconciliation - Includes procedures that expedite consideration of legislation to repeal the ACA, as well as make it easier to enact tax breaks for the wealthy and to cut spending in many areas.• Social Security - Calls for a fast-track process for Congress to pass Social Security reform. This process could be used by Republicans to force passage of Social Security privatization or other benefit cuts.
Builds Phony Claim of “Balance” on Huge Gimmicks
• Counts Affordable Care Act (ACA) savings that the budget claims to repeal• Cooks the books using dynamic scoring• Uses dishonest accounting of expiring tax provisions• Abuses the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) Budget
