Rick Scott: Letter To The Editor

Rick Scott's Office of Piss Poor Propaganda has come up with the brilliant idea of sending an email to Scott's supporters, both of them, suggesting that they send a prepared letter to editors of various publications around the state.

Zephie, a Democratic Underground contributor, submitted this revised version of Scott's letter:

Dear Editor,

When Rick Scott ran for Governor he promised to "create jobs" and "turn our economy around". I voted for Alex Sink because Rick Scott has always been a corrupt, scandal ridden businessman, not a politician. While politicians usually disappoint us and rarely keep their promises, Rick Scott is refreshing for the upper 1% because he’s keeping his word of serving only corporate interests and the wealthy.

At best, his policies are helping to attract businesses to our state that offer no benefits to employees, slave labor wages, part-time only, and which get people to settle into the idea of poverty, hunger, and despair as "normal". At worst, he is damaging the jobs already in the state such as those provided by the citrus industry through research funding cuts and education through the push for privatization of schools. Some of the "special interests" are attacking the Governor for making decisions that effect our economy negatively and showing lack of interest in the needs of the average Floridian while favoring the economic interests of the wealthy.

Rick Scott deserves our unwavering and complete condemnation. How can we expect to recover from these hard times if we continue to elect leaders who tirelessly work against what’s right for our state and its people?

Thanks,

A Floridian

Zephie said to feel free to copy the letter and send it to your local paper. The chances of Scott getting his letter published is probably the same as yours - slim and none. Most letters editors consider this kind of mass mailing to be SPAM, which it is.

The reason to send anyway is to give the newspapers a sense of public distaste  for Scott. I am going to send Zephie's letter to the St. Pete Times. I hope you will take the time to send a copy to your local paper. It is quick and easy - just a simple copy and paste.

We need to keep the pressure up on Scott. In 2014 he needs to be given a ride out of town on a rail. Tar and feathers are optional.
