I work and live out of country, but am a Florida resident. I am not familiar with many of the candidates. Any Freepers from the Gainesville area?

For example, only Katherine Harris has bothered soliciting my vote for US senate. No information about what they stand for (pro-con) for family, sexual orientation, immigration, etc. for any of the other candidates! LeRoy Collins has a website, but he might as well not have one for all the info it gives you. I've received info from both state senate candidates, but no one else.

Can anyone help? Thanks

Katherine Harris has my vote.

Will McBride marched with Immigrants United for Freedom (IUF) a few weeks before he filed to run for Senate. IUF has ties with leftist organizations including Code Pink, A.N.S.W.E.R., CAIR, etc. There is a photo of McBride carrying the big sign for IUF leading the march.

Collins is pro-abortion.

Here is a link to a website devoted to the proposed Constitutional Amendments on the 2006 ballot. I know know nothing of the organization, but it appears to provide enough information to send you in the right direction. The League of Womens Voters publishes voting guides as well, but it's not likely it has just yet.

Katherine is the one true conservative in the race. The others
sound good in sound bites, but thats about as far as it goes.

The media is out to collect on their vendeta against her from 2000
when they (the media) tried to make the world believe alGore won.
They havent been able to fight off the fact that she was following
the law. She is that target of their hate in Florida, and the other
states have followed suite, as is normal for the libs/dems/socialists.

If you want to vote for a viable candidate for the U.S. Senate, I'd urge you consider a vote for Admiral LeRoy Collins, Jr. If you want to vote for a candidate who will lose by 30%+ in November, Katherine Harris fits the bill.

As for the Gov's race, the best bet is Charlie Crist. He's not as Conservative as most of us would like, but Gallagher's campaign tactics against Crist were very sleazy, and turned off a lot of people.

Shery ....First of all, let me thank you for your service for our country! It is because of brave Americans like you that we still have the freedom to vote.

If you want to vote for the true conservatives running in Florida....the choices are Katherine Harris for the Senate and Tom Gallagher for Governor.

Harris has a 92 rating with the American Conservative Union. She has proven herself to be a true conservative by her votes in the US House during her two terms. She has been endorsed by the Florida Christian Coalition because of her strong pro-life stance. She is against amnesty for illegals, wants a secure border and fully supports President Bush's war on terror, our troops and their mission in Iraq.

Tom Gallagher has a comparison of himself & Charlie Crist on various issues his website. Please take a look at that comparison here: http://www.tg2006.com/

The Miami Herald reported that Crist failed to properly fill out the Christian Coalition Candidate Questionnaire by refusing to answer five specific questions relating to gay civil unions, parental notification for abortions, a 24-hour waiting period before a doctor can perform an abortion, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.

You can read Tom Gallagher's completed Christian Coalition of Florida Candidate Questionnaire and Crist’s submission to the Christian Coalition of Florida by logging onto their site:

Good idea Shery, I live in Florida and I have been reading as much as I can on all of this so this thread will help me too.

The only thing I can really add though is that the only person that has called our home has been the Harris people and no one else. We have not received anything in the mail from anyone else that is running.
