Democrats Building on 2008 Success

Can Florida Democrats pull it off in the general election of the 25th Congressional District? Voter statistics in the district: Democrats-134,549 vs. Republican-137,913, it's a statistical dead heat with independent voters at: 99,196. Turn out the vote Democrats!

The ones who work in 90 degree plus heat to get the produce to market so we can have fresh fruits and vegetables on our tables. This proposition echoes the Jim Crow laws that were found unconstitutional. Every person of Hispanic descent can be endangered by this type of legislation.
