Sometimes it actually helps having a Republican husband!

I got my Absentee Ballot in Florida yesterday. They list all the Republican candidates first, but some local officials, judges, school board members, etc., list no Party affiliations. My gut tells me that the candidate listed at the top was the Republican. Since I was re-districted 150 miles away in 2012, I never get mail, or see ads from these candidates.

Today in the mail my husband got a flyer on who the REPUBLICAN PARTY is endorsing. Thank you, Republican Party for your help in my voting!!!! I now know exactly who NOT to vote for.

What I do? I find someone completely without a chance and make a very small donation - and that's how I get on the Republican mailing list.

$5 is worth a lot when you want to find out what they are up to.

Have they just given up? The headline on the flyer said, "Stop Charlie Crist using John Morgan's money". Send both of them a NO on the Governorship, and Medical Marijuana.

Well, I am sending a big fat NO to Rick Scott, "his" medical testing company, and probable ties to the pharmaceutical industry with their narcotics, and profits, addicting so many people in this state.

This was not a sealed flyer so anyone could see what they said. Don't assume everyone in that household is a Republican. Again, this was a big help to me as a Democrat.
