The Florida state seal was adopted by the 1865 Legislature, which mandated that the seal be the size of the American silver dollar and display a scene in the center "of the sun's rays over a high land in the distance, a cocoa tree, a steamboat on water, and an Indian female scattering flowers in the foreground, (all) encircled by the words Great Seal of the State of Florida: In God We Trust."
In 1970 Florida's official seal was updated. The cocoa tree became a Sabal palmetto palm (the state tree of Florida), the headdress was removed from the Native American woman (headdresses were only worn by men), and the woman was depicted as a Florida Seminole (originally she was dressed as a Native American of the western Plains).

I’m not with the campaign. Beruff wants to earn our votes, unlike Rubio who expects our vote and isn't even campaigning. Beruff has promised to hold town halls in ALL 67 Florida counties every year if elected to the senate.
We have a clear choice on August 30th - keep the status quo that doesn't listen or elect Carlos Beruff!
I live in Lehigh Acres and am trying to find a tea party group to join or start one. Any help would be appreciated.
Sonia, what county are you in? Please advise. Send me your email address so I can follow up with you. I also, just sent you a friend request.
I was a member of the Illinois chapter of the tea party and just recently moved to florida and am looking forward to any events taking place in this state.
Communism has infiltrated academia, the media, and thanks to Obama, (& other liberal dems. before him), the Government. This is not a new phenomenon. 60 years ago, a courageous patriot named Joseph R. McCarthy, was the first to sound the alarm, We should have listened to him.We need more people like McCarthy, but when someone is brave enough to take that mantle,The radicals do everything to discredit them, just like they did to McCarthy 60 years ago. We have got to save our country before it becomes something she was`nt created to be.
