Passing the Equal Rights Amendment is long overdue. So far, it has been ratified by 35 of the necessary 38 states. Currently in the Florida Legislature there are two concurrent resolutions, one in the House (HCR 8001) and one in the Senate (SCR 362) for our state to ratify the amendment. It can pass this year! You can help make it happen by calling and/or emailing your state representative and senator to urge them to support it.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a novice political blogger opened up her big fat, um, keyboard and suggested that there be a blogger panel at the Florida Democratic Party Convention.

Help one of the biggest swing states swing blue!  We have an opportunity to pick up a seat in the Florida Senate!  Not only is this seat winnable, but if we pull it off, the shockwaves you'd send throughout the Republican Party would be HUGE!  

Our candidate, is a very capable woman named Suzan Franks. Please Donate and/or Volunteer Today! If you live in the district, be sure to vote June 26th!

The Florida Democratic Party is hosting a soiree in Hollywood, Florida this June and guess what?  You're the guest of honor!
