Received this e-mail today from the Florida Democratic Party:
Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Allison Tant
In last week’s disastrous Hobby Lobby decision, the Supreme Court betrayed women in Florida and all across the country by ruling that employers don’t have to cover basic health care options for women if they don’t want to.
A woman’s health care decisions should be made between her and her doctor. Not her employer or anyone else. End of story.
It is time for us to stand up to those who want to tear down women’s health care choices. Rick Scott and his allies are cheering this disastrous decision. That's why we've GOT to fight back. We need to tell them that letting an employer come between a woman and her doctor isn't going to fly. Can you click here and add your name?

Here in Florida, we have the power to fight back by kicking Rick Scott and the GOP to the curb and electing Democrats up and down the ballot. But it all starts with you and your voice.
Add your name and become one of 20,000 signers to denounce the Supreme Court’s disastrous ruling and let the GOP know that standing between a woman and her doctor isn't something that we're going to let stand.

Thanks,
Allison
P.S. We are amazed by just how many of you stepped up for us in advance of the FEC end-of-quarter deadline – thank you! Your enthusiasm and your support will, no doubt, see us through to victory in November and new leadership for all Floridians.

I'm feeling good about our chances in Florida, especially with Democrats reaching out to this key constituency:

Democratic Candidate are courting a group which may not have favored them in the past.
When Charlie Crist went to Miami’s Little Havana recently, the Democratic candidate for governor stood before a crowd and said what few politicians have in decades of scrounging for votes in the Cuban-American neighborhood: End the trade embargo against Cuba.
“If you really care about people on the island, we need to get rid of the embargo and let freedom reign,” he said, shouting above a small band of protesters who responded with chants of “Shame on you!”
Crist’s supporters cheered louder.
It was a scene inconceivable just a few years ago, when politicians were careful about what they said on the issue, for fear of alienating Cuban-American voters, many of whom fled Fidel Castro’s Cuba in the 1960s.
But Democrats now sense an opening with newer Cuban arrivals and second-generation Cuban-Americans who favor resuming diplomatic relations with the communist island.
In a sign of just how much the climate has shifted, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who backed trade limits when she ran for president in 2008, is now calling for the embargo to be lifted. She described it as “Castro’s best friend” and said it hampers “our broader agenda across Latin America.” - CBS Miami, 7/5/14
