Electoral Failure in Florida and What You Can Do About It

Florida largely missed the boat on the Democratic wave that overwhelmed America Tuesday.  Sure, Dems gained 3 seats in Congress, 7 in the legislature and one in the cabinet, but that limited success is behind what much of the rest of the country experienced.  Why?  Because the Florida Progressive Coalition isn’t fully functional yet.  There is no progressive infrastructure in the state.  There is no progressive communication in the state.  There is no progressive fundraising base in the state.  There are few progressive bloggers actually blogging about Florida and our media doesn’t get the job done.  That’s why we need your help.  We’re trying to change things in Florida.  Florida has the 2nd most conservative policy in the country (after South Dakota), most of our elected officials are Republicans — many of them total whackjobs.  And we just ironically passed a law by 58% that requires 60% of the population to pass further laws.  Something is wrong in the Sunshine State.  We think we have a plan to fix it.  Join us.  Check out our blog.  Check out our Wiki.  Check out our mission.  And then join us.  Florida is a blue state, it just doesn’t know it yet.  Leave a comment or e-mail me at quinnelk@hotmail.com.
