Florida ONE Members drop by to visit Rep. Ros-Lehtinen!

A Special Delivery

Jun 8th, 2009 10:13 AM EST
By Alix Gordon, ONE Member, Miami, FL

Last week Betsy Skipp, Laurie Campbell, Sara Paterni and I went to the Miami office of Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to hand deliver more than 100 constituent letters which were written at the recent Florida ONE Membership Conference.

Each letter asked Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to support $51.85 billion for the Foreign Operations budget, which funds critical life-saving and development programs like PEPFAR and the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

While there we also thanked the office staff for Rep. Ros-Lehtinen’s recorded greeting, which was played at the Florida Membership Conference. Rep. Ros-Lehtinen’s message was inspiring and encouraged us all to continue our work on the ground to increase awareness about global poverty.

"Special Projects"

- The Charlie Chronicles: Chain Gang Charlie wants to be a U.S. Senator. But how much do people know about Mr. Happy Face?

- "About 'Jeb!'" documents Jebbie Bush's background, and his record in politics and business.

- The outgoing RPOF U.S. Senator thinks he's an ""anti-family", "darling of homosexual extremists". What else don't we know about Billy McCollum?

- At "After All, He Is Black", we look at the inability of Florida "conservatives" to deal with racial issues.

- "Take this job ..." is a compendium of some of the things Florida employers are permitted to do to their employees.
