Have You Heard.....

Well the Democrats of Florida are succeeding at being noticed!! The news being reported on the chairs race is that Janee Murphy is thinking of running for Chair. All accounts indicate that she isn't, but still it made news today that she is considering jumping into the race. So I wanted you all to be aware.

News that is being reported in Tallahassee on the party and our officials:

Yesterday, the house and senate split down racial lines. The vote on whether Broward County Supervisor of Elections Miriam Oliphant removal of office was ethical or not. The headline in the Tallahassee Democrat is Black Democrats feel jilted. Ms. Oliphant is now suing the state. From the article: "During more than an hour of questioning of Kahn on the Senate floor, black members said Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties had widespread problems at the polls in 2000 and 2002 - but that only the black woman was suspended."

Lastly, the Tallahassee Democrat is calling the Chair's race for Karen Thurman. The article is not the best review of our party, but as it appears in our local paper, and we all affiliate ourselves as Democrats. I would encourage you all to check it out and see what our peers are hearing about us.
