I received the following email from Jim in Florida:
Dear Editor of V.O.I.D.Let me preface the remainder of this correspondence by stating I am an avid fan of VOID's political commentary and insight.
I thought you should know about one incumbent Congressman here in Florida that more than deserves a "V.O.I.D. Tag" as ripe for being ousted from office.
In light of the fact Florida's 23rd Congressional District contains some of the poorest cities and towns in the State of Florida with over 25% of the population barely surviving at or below the poverty level, 16 year incumbent Congressman Alcee "Corruptocrat" Hastings has spent the campain contributions he has received on "Flowers for Consituents" as well as Fine Dining at Upscale Hotels and Florida Resorts (according to FEC Disbursement Reports).
Hastings spent over $15,000.00 on Flowers, all purchased from one Florist in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, specifically "The Bashful Daisy" (strange spending eh?).
He also spent over $60,000.00 on Fine Dining & Catering, mostly spent at the luxurious Westin Resort & Country Club, Westin Florida.
Hastings' Democratic Challenger Dr. Ray Torres Sanchez (D), is on a "David v. Goliath" quest to oust incumbent Hastings during the upcoming August 26th Primary, but it is a politically heavy lift.
The supporting information can be found at: http://raytorressanchezforcongress2008.com/hastingsdiet.html
In closing, I'm wondering if V.O.I.D. would consider providing internet commentary on the aforementioned, to help replace Alcee Hastings with a new Congressman that I'm more than certain you would approve of ?
Sincerely,
Jim in West Palm Beach FL
