Mr. Perez Goes to Tallahassee
Last week, we met with over 40 Florida legislators who voiced enthusiastic support for the Digital Democracy Project.
Expressing the general sentiment, Representative Jim Mooney, R-The Keys, said that he “likes the idea and is looking forward to working together.” And Senator Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, said, "We are doing this!"
Across the board, legislators welcomed the opportunity to hear from verified, registered voters in their districts. “This will make me a better representative,” said Rep. Kevin Chambliss, D-Homestead/Cutler Ridge. "Voters in my district are gonna love this!" said Rep. Felicia Robinson, D-Miramar. And Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, said, "I always want to know what our voters are saying. This is another great tool for finding out."
It was heartwarming to hear that many office-holders really do want to know what REAL voters want. So, tell them! Let's VOTE People!

We are so pleased to welcome another 54 new voters! Thanks to everyone who enrolled this month. We're now at 274. Yay!
Every new person helps us reach our goal of 1,000 voters. Remember: Legislators won't really “hear” us until we build up our numbers.
1,000 voter enrollments for
March-May Legislative Session?
Did you know that 1,000 is twice the number as in many polls?
So, if we get 1,000 voices telling legislators what real voters really want . . . That's a powerful sound!
How can we do it?
Just share! You know the drill . . .
274 sharing with 274, sharing with 548 . . . And voilà!
Before we know it, our Digital Democracy Community grows to 1,000 voters! And makes some noise!
And it is super easy!
