Nina Hayden's Response To The Times And The Tribune

My engaging and passionate commitment to a variety of issues including education and juvenile justice is the motivating factor for my decision to run for State Senate District 16. It is also important for the constituents of my district to have two viable party options.

Voters want a Senator with honesty, integrity and the ability to distribute justice. Voters especially want a candidate whose coffers are not largely funded by special interest groups and lobbyist because this candidate is better able to fight corrupt practices and backroom deals in the legislature.

This is the advantage of running as an unseasoned candidate.
One does not have to walk our legislative halls or step on the Senate floor to have a keen eye to detect that the Florida of today suffers from the decisions made by the Florida of yesterday. When the financial times were plenty the legislature squandered our resources and today continues to lean more on the taxpayer to pay for its unfair policies and lack of transparency in the budget process.

Let the voters instead of opinion pieces decide who they wish to vote for. With great enthusiasm I say vote for Nina Hayden! Let’s not look back! It’s time for a new menu with fresh seasoning.

Traidor Robert Deposada

Robert Deposada has sold out his community. Deposada, a GOP operative from the failed Bush Presidency, crossed a critical line this week by developing and placing ads urging Latino voters to stay home and not vote during this important election cycle. The Republicans, aided by their translator Deposada, have decided that instead of correcting the failure of their candidates and their party to attract Latino voters it is easier and faster to beg folks to stay home.

DWS Welcome To The Land Of Bibles And Guns

Archliberal Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz comes to Tennessee tonight to spread her leftist propaganda and raise money for her Pelosi-supporting buddy, Lincoln Davis. Scott DesJarlais MD for Congress campaign manager Brent Leatherwood said, “I want to take the opportunity to welcome one of the most liberal members of Congress to Tennessee. I hope she understands she’s coming to a state where we truly cling to our Bible and guns – and we’re proud of it.”

A Message From Linda Saul-Sena

Chickenshit Republicans

The League of Women Voters and PBS canceled debates between the U.S. Senate and gubernatorial candidates because GOP candidates Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Charlie Crist refused to participate.
here
“I think it’s very disheartening, We have one of the highest unemployment rates, one of the highest mortgage default rates and one of the highest number of uninsured citizens in the nation. It’s really unconscionable when voters are forced to make their decisions on sound bites and commercials.”.....Deidre MacNab

U.S. Cuba Relations

Strategies Of The Past Have Not Worked
Anyone with a limited knowledge of the United States' policy toward Cuba knows it is primarily driven by domestic politics in Miami and Tampa, Florida, and Union City, New Jersey. The policy has far more to do with hatred, retribution, pride and money than it does with Communism and human rights violations.

It is inconceivable to me if all of us worked together our talents and resources would be no match for mediocre members of Congress like Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart, yet we continually lose ground to them and a handful of extremists in the Miami Cuban-American community. The Diaz-Balart types never cared about Cuba's poverty or human rights violations under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
