Help Remove the Republicans and Keep Them Out

Bud Chiles is running for Florida Governor's Office as an Independent.  I have met him and I have very good feeling about him.  I believe that he will make a very good Governor for the State of Florida.  His father made a good Governor, a good Representative, and a good Senator for Florida.

Now it's Bud's turn to make Florida great again.  Please help out as Florida is a disgrace to the people of Florida because of the failed policies of the Republicans and failed leadership of the Republicans.

Vote Today

Today is Primary Election day. You have your chance to make change today in the way our government works or not working such as the case today. Today is the day to narrow down the candidate’s to be able to have the chance to get a better person in office. Not voting is not the answer to the problems.

Now since today is only a Primary Election what you have to look for in the future if you do not keep in mind what has happened during the eight years the Bush and his Gang did to America and to the American People. Voting is very important even if it seems that your vote does not count. You vote does count and Not Voting will not help solve the problems within our government.

You can vote Republicans if you want:

•If you want to help our President to fail
•If you want the Republicans to protect:
  • ◦Oil Companies
  • ◦Insurance Companies
  • ◦Wall Street
•Create more Wars
•Create more unemployment
•Create more Home Foreclosures
•Loose more of your retirement
•Lower your Salary
•Create Fewer Regulations that caused:
  • ◦BP Oil Spill,
  • ◦West Virginia Mines that killed 29 people,
  • ◦As in Bernie Madoff scandal
  • ◦As in Allen Sanford scandal
  • ◦And much, much more
•If you want to spend 23% more money in taxes than the very, very rich
•If you want to raise your Health Care Insurance
•If you want to change the Constitution
•If you want the government legally break the laws of the US Constitution
•If you want to raise the deficit
•If you want to lower the number of teachers
•If you want to add more students per Class Room
•If you want to reduce the number of police
•If you want to reduce the number of Firemen
•If you want to bring a higher number of children not graduating
•If you want to put more people in jail instead of educating them

Vote for anyone one else if you want you want to go back to before the Republicans destroyed America, before they started to lie to the American people, and before they made the rich richer.

Voters Unimpressed, Undecided in Florida

As I was reading an article from the Miami Herald "In Florida Senate Race Voters Unimpressed Undecided" I would have to agree.

There is no way I would ever vote for a Republican, after all they are the ones that put us in the shape we are in now. They only want to help the rich and the he$$ with the rest. The choice here is clear, no Republicans period.

Now you have the choice of Kendrick Meek, Jeff Greene, Maurice Ferre, or Charlie Crist.

I have met everyone except Jeff Greene. My experience with Kendrick Meek is that he will not keep his promises and he will not return your calls. He is in the race only for Kendrick Meek. I have tried and tried to contact him and he will not answer his calls or e-mails. This is not the type of person anyone should want in office.

Charlie Crist and I met when he was here in Miami at a fund raiser and I told Charlie Crist that I was not there to support him but wanted to know why he did not support me. Anyway he gave me his card and asked me to send him the papers on the corruption here in Florida and he would try to do something. Anyway I have called the number and have e-mailed him and he is not answering he is not answering them. This is no way to run an office of the government either.

Maurice Ferre I met at a DNC meeting and he seems to be fine but has no money to promote himself. He was a good Mayor from what I hear and he was refused to be heard on National TV and is being pushed out of the race. This could be a good person to elect because the press does not want him or otherwise they would talk about him more often.

Jeff Greene will not return my calls either but he is an outsider which is very good for the people of Florida. When they say that he switched from Democrat to Republican and back to Democrat so he doesn’t know what he wants to do is crap. If you try something then you don’t like it you change. This is what Jeff Greene did. He found out what the Republican Party is really like and went back to the best. This is very good for Florida working people.

Now we are down to two choices, Maurice Ferre or Jeff Greene. At this point I am still working on who will be the best for Florida.

Florida Should Start Hiring Lawton "Bud" Chiles For Florida Governor

Time for change and let's put Lawton "Bud" Chiles in charge of Florida by electing him our next Florida Governor.  Here is what Bud Chiles is about:



With a promise to return Florida’s government to the people, Lawton M. (Bud) Chiles III, a Tallahassee businessman who served until recently as President of the Lawton Chiles Foundation, today announced that he has entered the race to become Florida’s next governor. Chiles, 57, said that the influence of money has caused state government to break its bond with the people it was created to serve.
“I’m running for Governor to speak for a million Floridians who are out of work right now,” Chiles said. “I’m running to help nearly a million children who have no health care – and for the millions of people who, like me, believe Florida can and must do better by its families and communities.”
Chiles said that state government has “broken faith” with the people it was created to serve, and he pointed to contributions to candidates and parties as the reason.
“It’s big money versus big money and the people are left on the sidelines,” he said. “I refuse to play that game. I am in this race as an independent, beholden to no party. My campaign is all about bringing people together, not dividing folks.”
Not only will he refuse party money, Chiles added that he also will not accept contributions from political action committees (PACs) or large corporations- and is limiting contributions to $250.
As president of the Lawton Chiles Foundation – named in honor of his late father – Chiles has spent the last several months walking across the state, meeting with teachers, children’s advocates and local leaders. According to Chiles, the hard work and cooperation he witnessed made him realize that the communities ought to serve as a model for the state.
“I’ve seen firsthand that the answers to our most challenging problems are found right in our own communities,” Chiles said. “These collaborative efforts are working because people are coming together not as Democrats or Republicans, but as community leaders – to improve education, help foster kids, and end homelessness.”
Chiles said that his campaign will be focused on energizing the people of Florida who have been left out and whose voices haven’t been heard. He promised fast action on reforming campaign finance laws and making government more transparent to the people.
Chiles said he expects to continue his way across Florida, meeting with people in the communities and learning firsthand about their successes and challenges. A major campaign rally to kick off the campaign is scheduled for his hometown of Lakeland on June 12.
