/*I had the pleasure of attending the 'Meet the Candidates 2012' forum
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and a consortium of central Florida
businesses this week.

Of course, our opponents were there as well. :-)

John Mica, Republican, addressed the crowd, intimating his deepest
'conservative' beliefs. Essentially, lauding his 20 year incumbency and
record. Curiously missing from his self-congratulatory musings of
conservative goodness, was his record of excessive war-mongering,
minimum wage suppression and 20 year corporate-financed war against the
poor and the working families of America.

Sandy Adams, Tea Party caucus member, also spoke to the crowd. She
shared the all too familiar Tea Party mantra of 'cutting the spending.'
But hers, truly is a Conservatism, Inc., no? Where is the conservatism
when it comes to war-spending? And why no mantra regarding the
importance of the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity,
clean air and water? Why instead the conservation and cutting of help
for the unemployed, poor and working families of America? And why the
excessive focus on banks and corporate needs, instead of the needs of
childhood education, universal healthcare and the social safety net?

When I spoke to the crowd, I intimated what /we/ believe - that
government is not a tool for careerist profiteering, that excessive
war-spending is bankrupting America, that we should not seek to pull the
rug out from under unions, who are fighting for higher wages and better
working conditions. I told them that real patriots don't slash and cut
the social safety net at the precise time that we are on the brink of a
second Great Depression in real economic terms for the poor and working
families of America. I told them I represent you and millions of other
people that feel the exact same way.

And you know what? They listened.

Many of you have helped immensely with my campaign, and because of that,
we are going to win. But there is still a great deal more to accomplish
before we cross the finish line. For those that can, will you contribute
$250, or whatever you are comfortable with, now?
