Free Republic

Dear Patriot, Greetings to our constituents, fellow Floridians, and all Americans - a very fast-paced week, and here we are for our weekly update to you all. I must share a "Sense of the Congressman" at this time. This is the last week of high school for my oldest daughter Aubrey Elizabeth. She will be graduating from Archbishop McCarthy and going on to attend Nova Southeastern University to begin her pre-med studies.

Explained that I was very excited to be voting for him, and look forward to one day voting for him for President. I also said there are many blogs I frequent, Ace of Spades, Free Republic, etc that also share my enthusiasm.

For today’s Race of the Day – I’m excited to have the opportunity to shed light on one of the marquee races of this cycle - Allen West vs. Ron Klein in Florida's 22nd Congressional District.

It was also Ground Zero for the 2000...
