Meeting Marco Rubio
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Homeschooling, In the Sarasota Sun, Political Concerns Wednesday May 13, 2009
The boys and I joined the YCSers to meet Marco Rubio. Don’t know who Rubio is? Read this great interview with NRO — especially if you live in Florida, I recommend you take the time to read it.
What a great opportunity for the boys! Those were always fun times for me, when my parents took us to meet candidates when I was a kid.
I’m not so thrilled about Rubio though–his property tax reform (to me) seemed to be a poorly designed idea at the worst time in Florida when property values took a dive. Now we can’t pay for basic government functions! And his comments about American college students being the best educated anywhere probably wouldn’t sit well with my sister who teaches really bright kids overseas!
He has mine and my husband’s vote. So glad we will have an alternative to Crist! He’s always had the whiff of RINO.
He has our votes, too. We met him a couple of years ago, just before he was appointed Speaker of the House, and we are thrilled that he is running against Crist.
Rebekah, I can understand having mixed feelings about candidates. Overall, I like what I see in Rubio. Btw, been missing you lately. . .
Sem / Patricia, the boys really enjoyed meeting him. *grin*
Nice post…But URGENT NOTE In Seminole County, FL? Don’t like the autocratic school board? IMPORTANT to VOTE for Paul Ackerman- http://cli.gs/XpP4G and Becky Erwin – http://cli.gs/Bn1rv .. IN THE PRIMARY!
We interrupt this wonderful blog for an important public service announcement. The PRIMARY ELECTION is August 24. NONPARTISAN RACES – LIKE SCHOOL BOARD SEATS – CAN BE WON OR LOSS IN THE PRIMARY! In Seminole County the school board seat is a very powerful position that few people know who is running or what they stand for. If you live in Seminole County and are NOT HAPPY WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD and their rezoning, no-bid contract awards, naming of schools after their cronies, etc. – there is help! Two candidates (and only two) who are NOT part of the good-ol-boys and will NOT “rubber stamp” doctoral rulings of SCSB … are PAUL ACKERMAN – http://cli.gs/Bn1rv and BECKY ERWIN – http://cli.gs/XpP4G. FAT-CAT POLITICOS expect you not to vote or not know who to vote for. That’s how they keep control. So please vote and tell a friend about these candidates who represent us the citizens! Let’s get control back! Thank you for your attention.
Big day coming up. Florida needs to get out and be heard in the primaries. Don’t believe polls. Get out there and vote. Doesn’t matter if it is Rubio, Crist, party… just be heard. This process is what makes us great. See you all at the polls.
