Words From Our Leader Susan Smith
Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida President Susan Smith has released the following statement:
The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida applauds the courage of U.S. House members who opposed the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act of 2015. This legislation would effectively halt the acceptance of Syrian refugees into the United States.
In these troubled times when Republicans and some Democrats are stoking fear for political gain, we as Florida Democrats are proud to be represented by Corrine Brown, Kathy Castor, Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel, Alan Grayson, Alcee Hastings, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Frederica Wilson. We thank them for demonstrating a commitment to American values by voting against the SAFE Act.
----------
The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida is a chartered caucus of the Florida Democratic Party.

Florida DINOS Gwen Graham And Patrick Murphy Chose Fear Over Humanity
Gwen Graham, Patrick Murphy only two Florida Dems to vote for Syrian refugee crackdown. here
"Fear-mongering, hateful and an embarrassment to the Democratic Party." Susan Smith
"Patrick Murphy chose fear over humanity when he voted in favor of a Republican bill that will make it nearly impossible for Syrian refugees fleeing terrorism in their homeland to come to the United States.
We’re not sure whether it was Patrick Murphy’s fear of orphans and widows with brown skin that caused him to vote for this atrocious bill, or if it was his fear of going against the Republican Party. But, either way, he chose fear over humanity. Hate, over love. He has proven once again that he doesn’t have the courage to do what is right when times are hard. And we can’t have another person like that in the US Senate."

Shortly after the news broke, the move to ban fracking in Florida began. here
