John Morgan Is Pissed Off
I have to tell you, I'm mad as hell.
In the No on 2 folks' latest ad -
they go after CAREGIVERS. They use scare tactics to demonize caregivers - the
people who take on the daunting task of caring for their friends and family
members who can't care for themselves. Guys like Robert Jordan - who gets busted
for taking care of his wife Cathy, with ALS. Or guys like me - who risked jail
to bring relief to his father and brother.
It's offensive, tone-deaf, and
yet - they're blasting it out everywhere with millions of dollars behind
it.
Join with me and let's show our outrage:

United for Care Responds to No on 2's "Not What It Seems" Television Spot
United for Care, the main organization advocating for passage of Amendment 2,
is responding to the No on 2 campaign's first television :30 second spot
entitled "Not What it Seems." The spot criticizes Amendment 2's provisions
allowing for caregivers who would assist gravely ill Floridians in securing and
administering medical marijuana as recommended by their physicians.
"For the No on 2 campaign to use its first television spot to attack
caregivers in Florida is beyond outrageous," said Ben Pollara, Campaign Manager
at United for Care. "It is obvious that all of their other specious arguments
have failed to garner public support, so they've turned to casting undue
suspicion and aspersions on those who sacrifice their lives every day to care
for the sick and suffering. We are all literally speechless."
Bob Jordan, who has used medical marijuana to take care of his wife Cathy, an
ALS sufferer for almost 30 years, was confused by the spot’s assertions.
“I'm not a politician so maybe that's why this doesn't make sense,” said Bob
Jordan. “What I’m hearing is that my wife should stay a criminal because
otherwise I'll become a criminal. I just don't get it. Why should either of us
be criminals?”
"The contrast between our campaigns could not be more stark, said Ben
Pollara. “They are looking to criminalize the patients and those who would offer
them comfort while we are looking to enable compassionate care for the
suffering."
"I think their ad will fall flat, no doubt about it," said Pollara.
"Floridians know who caregivers are and the sacrifices they make, in fact
increasing numbers of them are playing that very same role today," added
Pollara. "Outrageous scare tactics like the ones displayed in this spot will
only increase support for Amendment 2 among Florida voters."
For more information or to schedule an interview with Ben Pollara, please

Hold Senator Brandes Accountable
Senator Brandes was the only Senator who voted against the compromise
Medicaid expansion bill – depriving nearly 1 million Floridians, including more
than 41,000 veterans, access to health care. Apparently health care for our most vulnerable citizens, including veterans,
is offensive to Senator Brandes – despite the studies that have shown that
accepting the Medicaid expansion funding will save lives, save money, and create
jobs. Instead of talking about his record on issues that are important to
Floridians, Senator Brandes and his special interest donors are sending out this
offensive mail attacking me.
Thanks again for holding Senator Brandes accountable,

Florida Millennials It's Your Time
Political consultants say a public battle over the proposed constitutional amendment to allow medical marijuana, included on this year’s midterm election ballot, could boost turnout among young voters for Democrat
Charlie Crist, who supports the measure. The extra support may be enough to help him defeat incumbent Republican Governor
Rick Scott,who opposes it. here
