It is unconscionable what the Florida Dems are trying to do to Tim Canova. They must be stopped and we can do this.

I will contribute to help Tim, asap.

Thank you for bringing this outrageous situation to our attention!

DWS's opponent exclusively. If it has not been applied to Alan, perhaps Alan can help Tim out here.

You'd have to find someone else challenging a Democratic incumbent to see if it's being applied across the board.

Also, I asked about polling down there and someone said something about the primary being in the Fall. Is that right? I thought it was tomorrow for this contest. Do I have that wrong?

Here in NC our congressional primaries were postponed but that's due to the SCOTUS ruling on the gerrymandering. Is it normal for Florida to have congressional primaries so late?

That really gives him a chance. I'll donate a little something today. (Donated to Bernie again yesterday through DU--thanks again for setting all of that up for us).

The DNC and DLC need to get the message that lifelong Democrats are frustrated with the continued erosion of traditional democratic principles that defined this great Party. The best way I see of doing that is upsetting the apple cart. I am going to contribute to Canova in his challenge against DWS. The 3rd Way has done nothing for middle class Americans economically. Time for change.

Just sent a contribution. I'm not in that part of Florida but I am fed up with the Florida Democratic Party!
