  • Urgent Memo from the Florida Democratic Party
    URGENT MEMO FROM THE FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY DATE: 3/12/08 TO: HILLARY CLINTON, BARACK OBAMA, HOWARD DEAN, BILL NELSON, ALCEE HASTINGS, CORRINE BROWN, ALLEN BOYD, ROBERT WEXLER, KENDRICK MEEK, DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, RON KLEIN, TIM MAHONEY, ALEX SINK, STEVE GELLER, FREDERICA WILSON, DAN GELBER, JOYCE CUSACK, DIANE GLASSER, CARRIE MEEK, LUIS GARCIA, CLARENCE ANTHONY, RUDY PARKER, JANEE MURPHY, JON AUSMAN, TERRIE BRADY, MITCH CEASAR, ALLAN KATZ, RAUL MARTINEZ, CHUCK MOHLKE, STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, COUNTY DEC CHAIRS CC: ALEXIS HERMAN, JAMES ROOSEVELT, DAVID PLOUFFE, MAGGIE WILLIAMS FROM: KAREN THURMAN RE: RESOLVING THE FLORIDA PRIMARY Democratic Leaders – I urge you to fully consider the following information thoughtfully and thoroughly, remembering that we are all in this primary situation together. There is no question that we must move quickly to deal with the dispute over Florida’s Democratic Presidential Primary. Fingers have been pointed in every direction, but how we arrived at this breaking point is irrelevant. The stark reality is that all Democrats lose if this is not resolved immediately. Florida Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller commissioned a poll of voters who participated in the state’s January 29th Democratic Presidential Primary. The results are striking – 59% of those Democrats want a revote. Moreover, only 63% of these primary‐voting Democrats are committed to sticking with our eventual nominee if Florida voters are not counted. That number is dangerously low. We must refocus our discussion of this issue on the people of Florida. Restoring their faith in the Democratic Party is of paramount importance. No action is truly a solution if it leaves Florida voters feeling that they were excluded from the most exciting nominating contest in history.

Bob Graham turns to history books to oppose slot machines | Miami Herald BY MARY ELLEN KLAS Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau TALLAHASSEE — As a member of the state House when Florida rewrote its constitution in 1968, former governor and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham believes a lot of people are missing the point in the current gaming debate. Graham filed a friend of the court brief Monday in the case involving Gretna Racing LLC, arguing that the Legislature, Gov. Rick Scott’s administration and the company that is trying to get a slots permit in the rural community, have misread the Florida Constitution. His argument: There is no authority to open the door to additional slot machines, or any other forms of gambling, without a statewide referendum, and the court should reject Gretna’s argument. It’s the third argument offered in what is shaping up to be a landmark case before the Florida Supreme Court this spring. It could have immediate implications on the gaming compact signed by Scott and the Seminole Tribe and could influence the legislative debate over expanded gambling.
