In Rick Scott's Florida

Rick Scott was a stranger to Floridians.

Then he spent $73 million and rode n angry voter wave to the Governor's Mansion.

For Florida, this has been a hostile takeover by the former CEO of the nation's
largest hospital chain. In three years
Scott has done more harm than any modern governor, from voting rights to privacy rights, public schools to higher education, environmental protection to health care.

One more legislative session and a $100 million re-election campaign will not undo the damage.

This is the tin man as governor, a chief executive who shows no heartfelt connection to the state, appreciation for its values

or compassion for its residents. Scott, moved to Naples just seven years before running for governor, he treats Florida like another faceless corporate acquisition to be
dismantled and repackaged.

In Scott's Florida, it is harder for citizens to vote and for the jobless to collect unemployment. It is easier for renters to be evicted and for borrowers to be charged high interest rates on short-term loans. It is harder for patients to win claims against doctors who hurt them and for consumers to get fair treatment from car dealers who deceive them. It is easier for businesses to avoid paying taxes, building roads and repairing environmental damage

A Click Of Your Mouse Can Make A Difference

Thanks to the nearly 90,000 people who signed my petition on Change.org to naturalize

they also apologized for the delay!

I hope that Mario's victory today reinforces the notion that when we act together, we can do great things.

We couldn't have done this without you!

Hate Truly Is Stronger Than Compassion InThe GOP

And it is costing the party their logic, reason and good business sense.

When you turn down health care for millions of citizens, billions of dollars and job creation out of spite, you are not representing the best interests of your constituents.

In Florida, the healthcare company Columbia/HCA, was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud while Rick Scott, prior to being governor, was CEO. Now Scott doesn't want to let Florida's citizens receive the benefits from the Medicaid expansion. Florida will lose $5 billion.
