Our Democratic Party in Florida just nominated Dan Gelber, who I now support for AG.
The election illustrates how Old Guard Democratic Party leaders (and unions and Gay groups) lack effective leadership, how newspapers lack sophistication, lack depth, lack investigative reporting and lack perceptive editorial-writers and how the Republicans and our state's largest corporate law firm (AKERMAN SENTERFITT) have excessive power and influence in our State of Florida, to the point of chilling First Amendment protected activity in criticizing AKERMAN SENTERFITT and BP.
As Robert Kennedy said it best, "it is not enough to allow dissent, we must demand it, for there is much to dissent from."
To State Senator Dave Aronberg, thank you for running a great race and standing up to power. Please write a book, like JFK did (Why England Slept and Profiles in Courage).
To State Senator Dan Gelber, two words (from Tom Hanks' character to the Matt Damon character in the Steven Spielberg film, "Saving Private Ryan"):
"Earn this."
Please keep your promises. Be independent. Never look back at AKERMAN SENTERFITT or let you work there cloud your vision as AG, because you're going to win against the formidable GOP forces of authoritarianism and greed on November 2, 2010.
Cheers,
Ed Slavin
