Update from the Frontline

Citizens,

Sorry things have been slow for about a week, but we are getting things squared away for the upcoming Jefferson Jackson Dinner that this blog will be represented at. I could have wrote about the Meek/Greene aftermath but we all knew how that would end and every other blogger in Florida wrote about it.

I would like to take this time to formally write a statement on the US Senate race from Florida:

Good Citizens of the State of Florida,

For those of you that do not know me, My name is Scott R. Goodlin. I recently received an email from Jon Ausman and I am writing this in response of him declaring his support of Jeff Greene over Kendrick Meek. While this move does not surprise me from his past "Endorsements" (The Vacated Leon DEC Chair position, eventually decided under protest to Ausman's Candidate) When it comes to the Greene Argument, Celeste Bush Chair of the FDP Campaign Committee said in an email "Jon is using his standing as a DNC member to try and influence us. I find this avenue of communication disrespectful and disruptive for the FDP and in direct violation of our adopted Code of Political Ethics. Personally, I believe his actions should elicit his removal from office per Fl Statute 103.161." to which I couldn't agree more.


While I understand that everybody has a right to their opinion, I believe that there is a fine line between "Evil and Dangerous":

"Evil" is defined by Webster as 1: morally reprehensible 2: sinful, wicked 3: arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct.

See, this is the word we would use to describe some of the acts of our conservative counterparts however the same publication defines "Dangerous" as:
1: exposing to or involving danger
2: able or likely to inflict injury or harm

This defines what Jeff Greene is.

According to TampaBay.com , they describe Greene's "colorful profile" "Mike Tyson was best man at his 2008 wedding, ex-Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss lived in his guesthouse after prison, and he made many of his millions betting on the housing collapse that killed Florida's economy"
Politico cites the fact that Jeff Greene couldn't even recall who he voted for in 1980.

Now that you know what the publication says of him allow me to reprise to you what Mr. Ausman thinks of him. After watching the Debate where Jeff Greene repeatedly showed his lack of professionalism and Home training referring to Congressman Meek as "Kendrick" at every instance while Mr. Meek referred to his opponent as "Mr. Greene". Even though Greene’s own mother, a senior citizen was seated in the audience, He continued attacking the Congressman's Mother on a number of occasions. According to the South Florida Times, "Carrie Meek was once paid $90,000 as a consulting fee by Stackhouse, and she also received a Cadillac Escalade from Stackhouse for her trouble, according to police. Kendrick Meek also once sought federal dollars for a project for Stackhouse, but neither Congressman Meek nor his mother, who is a former congresswoman, has been charged with a crime.

“Nothing that I have done has been improper. And that’s the reason why I’m not the subject of any investigation whatsoever,” Meek said. He also said he supports the arrest of Stackhouse.

But Greene would not let go of the issue and he constantly made reference to the situation and Carrie Meek throughout the debate." Mr. Ausman had the following to say

"After watching the debate, I am convinced that Jeff Greene is the Democrat we need representing the people of Florida in Washington," said DNC member Jon Ausman. "Jeff Greene has the experience to create jobs and get real results." Source Jeff Greene Website


Citizens, I implore you to research into Congressman Kendrick Meek.


Thank you for your time.
