Bush scrambles for votes in PA, VA, and...FL-01!
Thu Nov 02, 2006 at 02:47:00 PM PDT
That's right! Bush is feverishly zooming around the country trying to scare up votes in key races. Races such as the Pennsylvania Senate race and Virginia Senate race...
...and the 1st Congressional District of Florida.

DCCC needs to support Grassroots
Wed Sep 13, 2006 at 01:00:34 PM PDT
The DCCC is hosting a major shindig for its Millionaire Boys Club of candidates it does support.
Joe Roberts could turn Northwest Florida blue with a fraction of what the DCCC is blowing on this photo op.
If the DCCC really is supposed to elect as many Democrats as possible, they should support the basic grassroots efforts that really work to get people elected to office.

Energize America endorsed by Congressional Candidate in FL-01!

Posted by Joe Roberts for Congress staff
Energy is one of the most important issues facing the United States today, which is the reason it has been and will continue to be a cornerstone of Joe Robert's campaign. Reliable energy is vital to the economy, which makes it vital to our security. Yet over the past twenty-five years Republicans have kept us firmly in a fossil fuel economy that places us in the hands of countries that fund terrorists. Rather than develop technologies that would create living wage jobs and support farmers here in the US, Republicans have fought against and even dismantled programs that would have meant a more secure and independent country.
Joe Roberts says no more.

Fighting Dem Spotlight on the Florida Primary - Jack Chagnon (FL-07) Live Blogging

Let's Turn the Sunshine State Blue!
Florida counts. It counts because votes there have been miscounted and discounted but not recounted. We have challengers in the field now where no challengers have previously dared to go. And they are building the Democratic Party in many districts from the ground up. If we are to prevent a repeat of the 2000 debacle, we need Dems in every position in the counties and districts of Florida. We have a great opportunity now with the 8 Fighting Dems running in 7 districts (to vets oppose each other in one district) in a state with more than its portion of vets and active duty personnel.

For good or bad we live in interesting times. It would be great to have a world filled with peace and justice rather than the wars that are tearing people apart. This can happen, but it will not happen without the effort of good people everywhere.
Yesterday the citizens of CT took one step toward making this happen.
And we are glad to see it.
This is our first diary on DailyKos, but far from the last. Join us on the flip for more.
Fighting Dem Spotlight on Florida - Taking Back the Sunshine State I
Sun Jul 23, 2006 at 09:58:13 AM PDT
Florida is important. It is the state that sent Bush to the White House (with a detour through the Supreme Court). There is hope that this election will turn Florida more blue than red - let's say a royal purple at least! Six veterans are running for U.S. Congress in Florida and they need our help. This Sunday we are spotlighting the first three of those races.

Yesterday, I pointed you to
Joe Roberts. I noticed on his site this statement.
Neo-Cons like the $8+Trillion debt because they buy U.S. Bonds and collect interest. Neo-Con family values send children of working Americans to a war that boosts their defense contractor stock holdings. Neo-Cons ignore the Constitution and the law and encourage illegals to do the same. Neo-Con CEOs swill salaries of $100 Million plus, while cutting worker pay, benefits & retirement.
It's important to point out that Jeff Miller, the DeLaypublican Joe's running against
received an F from the Drum Major Institute for his votes against middle class interests.

Here's the deal: Howard Dean promised us a 50 State Campaign and, by God, it looks like it's happening. He can't do it all, though. The party needs you to get behind candidates and I've got one for you:
Joe Roberts is running for the House from Florida's 1st District.
A Marine who served in Vietnam and continued to serve in the National Guard until 2005--including an active duty stint in Operation Enduring Freedom--Joe's a fighter.
Meet the Candidates in NW Florida
Mon May 22, 2006 at 08:00:08 PM PDT
Tonight was the monthly casual get-together for Democrats in Pensacola. We have some good people here who are fighting hard to make some real, positive, changes for the Florida Panhandle and the United States.
Joe Roberts is running to replace Jeff Miller (R) as the Representative from District 1 of Florida.
Liz Campbell is running to replace Holly Benson (R) as State Representative in Tallahasse.
Both of these candidates are great people that I'd like to tell you more about on the flip.
