They are trying to nullify the Fair Districts Amendments which would make it harder for them to gerrymander their districts in their favor.

Read the link below these numbers/emails.

atwater.jeff....web@flsenate.gov

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

1. Maybe Charlie can veto this too?




If he really is going to change his affiliation this
would be a move that could earn him a lot of votes.

2. No. Your legislators can put ANY initative on the ballot they want. The best thing to do is stop
it NOW!

The Fair Districts Amendments will benefit the Democrats, but you must NOT frame the issue that way. The issue is that we need ALL politicians of BOTH parties to stop making party districts and choosing their voters. It's in ALL our interests to see Amendments 5 and 6 pass and no other amendment gut them.

This is a Republican power grab, pure and simple. Call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
