Gillum would be as bad, if not worse, then Jerry Brown in California. I agree with Mr. Stewart: “Progressive” is a marketing term to make their platform sounds more desirable. It is not. Progressive = leftist = socialist.

Here is what the last Eight years has got us, Don’t be Fooled.
State of Florida is covered in toxic algae, waterways and lake Okeechobee
is dying, Rick Scott abolished the state EPA and water management, Slashed funding and removed regulations for his corporate buddies.
Rick Scott please just go away. He Took the fifth amendment 75 times in a deposition in the largest Medicare Fraud case in history.
settled several million dollar law suits with our tax dollars for violating Florida Sunshine laws for open government, Google the firing of Gerald Bailey, former FDLE director
Total disgrace what he did to a man with a impeccable law enforcement career..Keeps all his assets hidden in a blind trust in his wife’s name.
Changed your automobile insurance, benefiting insurance companies so you only have 14 days after you have a accident. to file a medical claim, who does that benefit. Scott has already spent sixteen million on TV ads. Spent millions of our tax dollars building a sea wall around a golf course in south Florida.. Yet he vetoed most projects in our area. Scott has destroyed the department of health , department of corrections, remember when the tornadoes hit century , Scott was in Pensacola and would not even go to century to check on those folks. He privatized Silver Springs in Ocala Now looks like a dilapidated ghost
town. I was there. Tried to cut funding for in home care for disabled children and put them in senior nursing homes , thankfully a judge stepped in and stopped it. Rick Scott and his wife attend a special Olympics for disabled children and
the same day ,he goes back to his office and signs legislation cutting funding to disabled children, What kind of a man would do such a thing. need I say more. Please Vote.

Stop talking about labels……Nobody cares. I want clean air, and water in the State of Florida. I am tired of special interests and impotency in government. How about this unique idea for a label………efficient government which actually cleans up the poison killing our wildlife. Tourism in Florida depends on a pristine environment, can we at least agree to clean this state up, and not watch animals smothered in our collective sins.

Isaiah 24:4-6
“The earth dries up and withers, the world languishes and withers, the exalted of the earth languish. The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.” (NIV)

Pay attention to our environment and forget the labels.

The Democratic primary contained seven candidates. The billionaire, Chris King, spent $5.5 million dollars of his own money and finished fifth, receiving a mere 2.48% (37,616) of the vote. Heck of a choice by Gillum —- NOT!

Regardless, Gillum and King have a lot in common. They were viewed as the two most liberal candidates in the Governor’s race. They campaigned on raising taxes. Gillum wants to increase the Corporate tax rate, but anyone with a business sense know that Corporate taxes are paid by consumers via higher prices on good and services. King wants to create a new tax on “bullets”.

They both like giving things away for free. Free college tuition and expanding the Medicaid rolls to allow more people “free health care”. Apparently neither candidate realizes that nothing in life is free. Somebody has to pay the tab. When it’s the government giving away “free services” the tab is being paid for by taxpayers.

Both ideas sound great if you are the one receiving the “free” goodies. However, this taxpayer believes in a smaller, leaner government. I also believe charity begins at home. People should be “earning” their own way, and not reaching into my pocket to pay for their “wants”.

Both support eliminating “ICE” – not the stuff in your freezer, but the Law Enforcement arm that addresses “ILLEGAL Immigration”.

Gillum, likes to thank all the folks who donate the “little dollars” that fund his campaign, but he doesn’t often mention the big donors like George Soros and Tom Steyer. Both Soros and Styers openly push for “OPEN BORDERS” and frequently contributes millions of dollars to campaigns seeking to elect minions who will push the same agenda. Soros is not a friend of the American public.

Florida does not need Andrew Gillum as its next Governor.
