By: BigGator5 (Diary) | July 19th at 10:00 AM |
Before the internet, tv, radio, and the telephone, there was only one real way to get out the vote: Canvassing. Which is what Patricia Sullivan (CAN-R-FL-08) and volunteers are doing right now.

I do have my “Don’t Tread On Me” Flag and support the grassroots movement from the very beginning. However when it comes to actual participation, I have been lacking. This will change come the 12th of this month when I head | Read More »

The Florida Governor’s race, which I have been on the fence until now, was lit on fire by the entrance of Rick Scott.

Why Supporting Jason Sager (CAN-R-FL-05) Is Important
By: BigGator5 (Diary) | June 24th at 08:00 AM |
The biggest races to capture the national imagination from Florida, is the the governor race between Rick Scott and Bill McCollum (in which I am still undecided), the Senate Race featuring Marco Rubio, and the FL-08 race to out Alan Grayson. While they are all indeed important, the most under-reported race happening in Florida is the FL-05 primary race between Jason Sager and Richard Nugent.
