It's qualifying week for legislative districts. Wll the FL Democratic Party field a full slate of

candidates.

Please pressure Rod Smith and other FDP leaders to find and groom candidates for our legislature. Stop using gerrymandering as excuses!!! Obama won, or nearly won, in districts that we are not yet running candidates in. That is not excusable!!

It's ground up everyone....not top down. clean out your local party.
i know i know we did this a few times already, only to be struck down by the state chair. But that was not Rod.....that man deserves good DEC's.

What I do know is we can't win if we don't field candidates, especially in districts where Obama and/or Sink took 45% of the vote.

It's time to hold the leaders of the FDP accountable for winning ....you know.....elections.
