Tell Governor Crist to veto SB 6!

Florida's students, parents, teachers, and schools just suffered a serious blow: Late last night, Tallahassee politicians passed a bill dictating a rigid, one-size-fits-all policy to our local schools. Now, it is on Governor Crist's desk, waiting for his signature. And it's up to us to stop it.

'Not 1 Mile, Not 5 miles, Not 50 Miles, Not 100 Miles

"From day one of my campaign I have said 'Not one mile, not five miles, not 50 miles, not 100 miles off our shores', Today I reaffirm that pledge, send me to Washington and I will stand up to the Oil Lobby and fight for Florida's protection. Our economy, our way of life and our children's future are too important to play political games with - we need real solutions for energy independence, not more short term profiteering for the richest corporations.".......Kevin Burns
