Randy Fine for Congress

Mr. Randy Fine currently represents Florida’s 6 th Congressional District, even though he does not live there. Many people, myself included, may not realize that U.S. representatives are not required to reside in the districts they serve. As a result, someone living in Miami with enough money and party support could run to represent voters in Pensacola. In addition to not living in the district he claims to represent, Mr. Fine has introduced several bills and used political rhetoric that reflect anti-Islamic bias. While his personal religious beliefs are not the issue, his statements and actions suggest that his position is rooted more in religious prejudice than in policy. He has also shown a pattern of racist conduct in both his actions and public remarks. Mr. Fine is a staunch supporter of the MAGA movement and Mr. Trump’s far-right political agenda. Mr. Fine has a record of troubling conduct. In April 2023, the Florida Commission on Ethics found probable cause that he violated...

Joe Strata for Congressional District 11

Joe Strata is a Republican businessman, Trump ally, and one of five Republican candidates running in the November 2026 midterm elections. His alliance with Trump says much about his candidacy: he has little evident government experience and appears to believe, as Trump did before taking office, that government can be run like a privately owned business. One of his most prominent promises in television ads is that he will “deliver on term limits.” This again suggests a lack of understanding about how government works. Establishing congressional term limits would require amending the U.S. Constitution, either through approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures, or through a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the states. So here is the simple math of this under option One (1)   TOTAL FOR PASSAGE REP DEM House of Rep 435 287 ...

A little history prospective…

A little history prospective… So far in the history of the United States of America there has been three Presidents that have been impeached but none removed. What is interesting is when you review the votes in both the House and the Senate, the process has be partisan throughout history. Interestingly enough, the first two impeachments were of Presidents that were Democrats and the vote to Impeach was done by a majority of House members that were republican. In the Andrew Johnson (Democrat) impeachment, there were 124 Republicans in the House and 49 Democrats. Republicans voted 122 to 45 to impeach President Johnson. In the Bill Clinton (Democrat) case, there were 228 Republicans and 205 Democrats in the House. Republicans voted 223 to 200 to impeach President Clinton. It doesn’t take a genius to see that both impeachments were partisan in nature with Republicans acting against a Democrat President. It is even more evident when you look at the Senate. In Andrew Johnson’s ca...
