Corruption in Florida

Dr. Reid Friedson and the People of the State of Florida’s petition to United States Justice Department and the United States Attorney General has garnered over 8,000 signatures at this point. A friend of Democracy Chronicles, Dr. Reid Friedson is a professor of history, government, social sciences, and humanities who is consistently ranked among top 10% of professors in United States of America according to the IDEA Survey and RateMyProfessors.com. Here is the petition’s introduction before it lists 30 grievances:

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA demand the United States Justice Department immediately investigate and indict Rick Scott and Associates who evidently engaged in or aided and abetted corrupt racketeering (18 U.S. Code § 1961; Public Law 114-38) while conspiring against our civil rights and interests. A long train of injuries and usurpations have led us to submit these facts as cause for redress of our grievances.

The petition then offers a conclusion:

The evidently unconstitutional, unlawfully corrupt, unethical, and criminally and civilly punishable pattern of practices by Rick Scott and Associates demands immediate federal investigation and prosecution. We the People beseech the United States Justice Department to investigate and indict corrupt racketeering, constitutional violations, and statewide ecocide in Florida.
