Attention Floridians!
Why do Republicans, a minority in Broward County, raise more money than the dominant Democrats?

An analysis by Democratic activist Phil Busey shows that the Republican candidates for governor have raised $1.34 million in Broward, compared with $250,520 by the Democratic candidates.

Uhmmm, folks, you need to fix that.

1. The Repugs are flooding the campaigns
with money. Most of it redirected from government sources. We can't possible keep up with people who cheat nor do we have to. Instead of spending massive amounts of money we need to use the internet and work leaner and meaner. There's more then one way to skin a cat.

2. Because they are far, far wealthier
When they can contribute $2,000 each and the average Dem can only muster $20 on minimum wage (and there are a LOT of people on fixed incomes or making minimum wage in this state) there's going to be a large discrepancy. So how do you propose us "folks" "fix" this situation?
