Welcome!

Let's fix our broken government!
It's time for the vast middle majority of Americans to have a voice.
We live our everyday lives in the middle, between the ‘left’ and the ‘right.’
Yet, professional politicians and extremists in Washington have lost touch with ordinary middle class Americans.

Rather than the stagnation caused by arrogant and obstinate ideologies, I will be a moderate voice of reason, providing leadership and practical solutions for peace, preparedness, prosperity, and progress.

Please join our campaign to restore common sense and fiscal responsibility to American government, rebuild our economy, make us energy independent, end the war in Iraq, reform our healthcare system, and chart a fresh course for a better tomorrow.

"Drilling Off Florida Isn't the Answer" ~ Senator Bill Nelson

Submitted by timcunha on Thu, 05/22/2008 - 11:48am.

Bill Nelson has it right. Interestingly, so do Republican Governor Charlie Crist and Republican Senator Mel Martinez--both also oppose drilling off Florida's coast. Yet 6th District Congressman Stearns is out of step even with responsible voices in his own party. At recent town meetings, Stearns said "We should drill for oil 125 miles off our coast." Maybe you speak like that if you're representing some other state, or oil company contributors.

STEARNS SCARED?

My opponent in the race for U.S. House District 6, Rep. Cliff Stearns, wrote his supporters criticizing the Star-Banner's coverage of my candidacy, and soliciting more contributions.

Congressman Stearns stated: "(A) Liberal Democrat who recently moved here from New Jersey is planning to challenge me in November. The Ocala Star-Banner ... [has] already written headlines and articles about him.... [but] failed ... to report who he really is..."

Stearns continues, "I need your help now! ... [send] your check TODAY!"

No "Second Class" Veterans

Letter to the Editor

On a piece of legislation that is important to thousands of Florida's veterans, service members, and their families, U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns (6th Cong Dist) has remained irresponsibly and conspicuously silent.
