Sprint erroneously cut off services to
our server from 11am August 19th to 1pm Aug 20th. Our apologies for
any inconvenience that may have caused. Email is coming in
again, and we'll be getting the posts up as soon as we can.
However, we got 500+ viruses today, double yesterday's count, and
this is slowing down our posting.

We're busy working on a new format for WhoseFlorida. We
hope to roll it out in October, and we think it will be easier to
read and navigate. In time we hope to move all the existing
pages to the new format. The new format will be data base driven
and easier to maintain. We're also looking to expand our
regional pages, and to get more reporters in Tallahassee and around
the state - but more on this later.
Thanks for hanging in
there with us over the last year and helping us through some rough
spots with your donations, and for continuing to send us your
stories and reports.

If you've sent us something to be posted in the last two weeks,
and haven't seen it posted please resubmit it. Files are being
moved to a new system and recent submissions may have been
overlooked in the transition. Sorry about this...
11/15/02- WE'RE BACK
I'd love to say I'm refreshed from the vacation, but I couldn't
relax. Everywhere, there were reminders. There's no
escaping it. Bullshit Reigns. Propaganda everywhere I
look. More and more I feel like I'm slipping into a nightmare
-- Posters, slogans, people all around me wandering in a daze,
Rush... Rush to War ... War for Peace...
A friend sent me this quote:
Hermann Goering's Quote On War And The People
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."
--Goering at the Nuremberg Trials
So we're back. And we
need your support.
If you sent in a post during the last week, bear
with us... it may be a few days before we catch up. Thanks...
11/9/02 - Gone Fishing
Well folks, we've been going full-tilt-boogie
since Feb 2001, and I've been at it all day, most every day for the
last 6 months. My goal from the beginning was to establish a resource
center for information about our state government that was not
otherwise available, or info posted briefly in the news and then
lost in archival limbo. I think that
with your help, we have been relatively successful. And I
thank you for that.
But I'm burnt out - so I'm taking some time off to
regroup and think about what's coming next. This has
been a tremendous effort - way too much for one person to keep up,
even working at it full-time.
Our original goal was to have as much information
available as possible for the Service First debate in 2001, then for
the election on Nov 5, 2002. We wanted to be able to clearly
demonstrate the misdirection we felt the State was going in. We
wanted to show where it was going awry and how we could get back on
track. I believe we did that. Nonetheless, JEBush won a clear,
decisive victory.
What does that mean for whoseflorida? Is it
time to rally behind the Governor? Do we continue to play the
role of "loyal opposition?" Was the election really
a mandate for JEBush's policies? Or do the people still not
know what's really going on with their state government?
I may try and put up a questionnaire to solicit
your ideas about the direction whoseflorida.com should go
next. Please continue sending your posts, I'll get them posted
- but the News Clips, and other regularly scheduled and time
consuming duties will be on hold till I get back. What we'd like to
know is:
Hope to hear from you soon. More later - some time
next week...
All the best
WF
10/23/02 - Back in the saddle... trying to catch
up on all the posts that came in while I was away. If you sent
us something that hasn't been posted and if you think it's still
relevant, please send me a reminder. Thanks for
bearing with us, and for helping out. WF
10/16/02 - Posting to whoseflorida may be
irregular over the next two weeks due to a family emergency.
It's possible that some folks may be picking up the slack during my
absence. But if not, I hope to be able to resume regular
operations in a few weeks. Stay tuned, and please make use of
the valuable information posted in the archives. Any questions
about why we need a "regime change" in Florida, will
be quickly put to rest with a quick read through some of the pages
posted in the JEB pages (or throughout the
entire site). All the best, WF.
7/15/02 -- News clips have been archived by topic from May
1, 2002 through July 10, 2002. We'll try and keep them as current as
possible. Go to Table of Contents
for the topical links. Clips are archived by date from April
2001 to present go to News
Archive for links.
7/2/02 -- There was a power outage this afternoon and
evening - several truncated form submissions were received. If
you submitted a response during this time, please resubmit.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Printing instructions:
If you’re having trouble
printing pages from WhoseFlorida, it may be because your
browser is set to print background colors and images along
with the text. You want to have the printer only print the
text. The following instructions are for Internet Explorer 4
and 5
but similar options may be available on other browsers.
- Click on the TOOLS option on the top line of the
browser so the drop down box appears.
- Click INTERNET OPTIONS on the drop down box
- Click the ADVANCED tab
- Scroll down to the PRINTING option
- The checkbox in front of "Print background colors
and images" should be UN-checked (no check mark in
the box)
- Click OK
Removing this check mark will convert all printouts of
web pages to a white background with black text. It
will not prevent images from printing.
If this doesn't work for you, the "copy and
paste" method will let you print the text you want.
Just highlight the text you want to print, click COPY (the
icon, or COPY in the EDIT drop down box) and then just PASTE
into any word processing or text-editing program. Then
print.
If you can't see the text after it's been pasted,
highlight the area of the paste and try changing the font
color so that it will be visible on your page. If you still are having problems, let us know.
Thanks WF |
