Floridians AND NON-Floridians-how you can turn us BLUE!!!!
From Progessive Majority: GOTV for Florida from YOUR home!


This Florida Senate race kicked into high gear yesterday when early voting began and last night with a heated debate. Betty Castor's opponent, former HUD Secretary Mel Martinez, is one of George W. Bush and Karl Rove's hand-picked candidates and he has already made it very clear - even bragged - about how in sync he is with the Bush Administration and their dangerous agenda. He's fighting a nasty battle - it's two weeks out and Floridians are already fed up with negative campaigning. Betty needs to raise funds to ward off his attacks, put the dishonest campaign ads to rest and move on to the real issues: lower prescription drug costs, affordable health care and good jobs.


Vote Early in Florida

Florida is among the states which allow for early voting and getting progressive Floridians to bank their votes now helps Betty Castor and John Kerry. Polls opened yesterday and whether you live in Florida or not, Betty wants your help connecting with Florida voters. Start by clicking on the link below:

Help Betty Castor with Virtual GOTV


You'll be linked with Florida voters, you can call them, write to them, let them know why you want to see Betty Castor in the U.S. Senate and most importantly - urge them to vote early!

4. Living in Orlando here....

I've seen tons of Betty Castor commercials and hardly any for Mel Martinez. I'm not sure why. Maybe it just happens to be that I choose to watch TV at times when no Mel Martinez commercials are airing.

I think Martinez looked like a jerk. He doesn't want to raise minimum wage by a dollar, and he doesn't to let Cuban Americans visit their family in Cuba. It is funny to hear this stuff from Mel Martinez, since he is a Cuban American. I suppose he thinks Hispanics will vote for him just because he has the same ethnicity.

5. Have you recieved any phone calls or canvassers?
I'm in Orlando too, and I haven't had any. I keep volunteering, but the local Dem party doesn't seem interested. I'm pretty disgusted. :-(
