Voters in the 1st Congressional District should send Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry back to Washington for a second term.

"You forgot an important reason why someone ought NOT vote for Fortenberry. Terry Schiavo. Mr. Fortenberry voted with the pack that wanted to interfere with the most sacred commitment - a marriage and say they knew better than the husband what the wife wanted. The Supreme Court slapped Congress back to their side of the Constitution for that. Do you, the voters of the First District, want someone who voted that way to represent you? For shame Journal Star for this endorsement."
Fortenberry is our choice in 1st District

That wasn’t the only time the congressman’s libertarian streak disappeared. Otter also voted for the 2005 House bill intervening in the Terri Schiavo case, overruling Florida courts to keep a brain-damaged woman on life support. He has voted for all the Republican iterations of immigration reform, even when they criminalized Good Samaritans who aid illegals. (“We need to get the border under control,” Otter says, “and then we can decide what to do about the people who are already here.”) He has voted for several versions of campaign finance limits.

Sacred, yes, Mikey agrees! He was getting Jodi Centonze pregnant one night and he said, "You know, honey, I want to do more than shack up with you and make babies. As soon as I bump off my wife and get the inheritance, let's get married."
She was disabled, not terminally ill in any sense of the word.
Be careful who you vote for and who you marry. Unless you are former Governor McGreevy and then you are going to marry your boyfriend.
