Dear Friend,
Right now, the Republican-controlled legislature is involved in the once-in-a decade process of redistricting -- the process that determines how our voice is heard in our democracy.
Last year, Florida voters sent a clear message by overwhelmingly passing Constitutional amendments 5 and 6, requiring that these districts be drawn fairly and accurately represent the voice of every Floridian. But the Republicans in Tallahassee are ignoring this message, manipulating the process to protect themselves and the extreme special interests they serve by continuing the partisanship which has led our state in the wrong direction.
We can't sit by and watch the Republicans gerrymander their way to victory in Florida for another decade -- not when the people have spoken so loud and so clear. We need all hands on deck to protect our voice and protect our vote.
WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW AND THEN CLICK HERE TO TELL YOUR STATE SENATOR TO VOTE NO ON THE REPUBLICAN MAPS.
The State Senate will vote on the Republicans' proposal next Tuesday, so we only have a few days to act. We need you to call on your senator to vote NO on these gerrymandered Republican maps.
We only have one chance every 10 years to protect our voice. Now is the time to speak up.
Rod Smith
Chairman, Florida Democratic Party
