Received this e-mail from Charlie Crist's (D. FL) gubernatorial campaign today:
As members of Scott Free Florida, you can play a unique role in getting the word out about exactly how Rick Scott's newly-signed budget fails Florida.
Here are three key questions to bring up if a friend or family asks you about Scott's budget...
(1) Who is Rick Scott prioritizing?
The Tampa Bay Times editorial puts it best:
"Turns out that in an election year, Gov. Rick Scott doesn't mind spending taxpayer money. The governor on Monday signed into law the largest state budget ever while vetoing the smallest amount of spending since taking office. That leaves in place hundreds of millions in legislative special projects, many of which never received a full public vetting. This is a budget grounded more in Scott's re-election campaign than in his professed fiscal conservatism."
Read this editorial and share it with your friends -- it's damning.

(2) Why aren't our kids important to Rick Scott?
Scott's budget spends $189 less per-pupil than what Charlie's 2007 budget spent.

(3) What about the one million Floridians who were left without health care?
Scott didn't lift a finger to try and fight for the federal funds that would have expanded health care to one million Floridians.
That includes more than 41,000 veterans who were left out in the dark without access to affordable care.
Read more about why that's the case -- then pass it along:
We're going to make sure that anytime Rick Scott does something particularly villainous, you know the facts and how to respond.
More to come,
Scott Free Florida
