With all the hoopla in Washington this past week, many folks aren’t even aware that there’s a special election coming up in just a few weeks in Florida. Robert Wexler, thankfully, retired last year, leaving the state’s 19th Congressional District seat open.
The Democrat (in this 2-to-1 D-over-R registered district), Ted Deutch (I’ll pronounce that any way I please, thank you) is heavily favored. You know, kind of like that one lady was.
But…
Lots of old folks down there, and they’re all getting the shaft from Obamacare (of which Deutch is a big fan).
What’s more, Deutch was one of only two state Senators to vote last week against a law that recinds the policy of asking potential adoptive parents if they own firearms. The law passed the house unanimously, and the Florida State Senate 38-2. Apparently he doesn’t consider the Second Amendment as important as socializing our entire health care industry.
Oh, but there’s this: He also attempted to kill in committee a bill that would have held liable those who kill or injure a pregnant woman for the death of her unborn child. No exception, I suppose, if that woman might have planned to put the child up for adoption by parents who at one point or another owned a gun.
The election is April 13th, and Deutch’s opponent is Edward Lynch. You can donate to his campaign here.
Lets hope the people of Florida send to Washington the same message as they did in VA, and MA and we did in NJ.
Well Deutch is a typical Democrat. Strong words except when they matter.
I have no idea what the politics in that district are, but I fully intend to take the crap sandwich that Pelosi, Reid and Obama shoved down my throat and shove it up their butts come November 2.
