In Broward County, property appraiser Lori Parrish has also made a pro A1 robo-call.

The pro amendment robocalls will be very effective in getting people to vote AGAINST the amendment.

Actually, in Pasco county support for the amendment is strong.

If Fasano called me and told me to vote yes, that would be all I'd need to make sure I voted no.

Oh God Bless!
At this point, everyone in Pasco knows that Fasano is nothing more than a snake-oil salesman...and a bad one at that.
If Amendment 1 gets 60%+ in Pasco, it will be in spite of Mommy's boy Mikey, not because of him.

Amendment 1 looking pretty strong in polling. 2 polls has it with near 64% YES vote versus NO votes

Please name the polls and who paid for them.

POLL 1:
Schroth, Eldon & Associates (whose clients primarily are Democrats) and the Polling Co.
POLL2:
Survey USA

The measure “appears headed to victory,” said pollster Tom Eldon.

“Traditionally in Florida it’s been nearly impossible to build a coalition to be against a tax decrease,” said fellow pollster Rob Schroth.
REMEMBER, THESE QUOTES ARE COMING FROM POLLSTERS WHO PRIMARILY WORK WITH DEMOCRATS & UNIONS. So, if anything, they may be biased against the amendment.
Plus Vote YES on 1 still have a war chest for last minute ads.
It does not look good if you are opposed to amendment 1.

These calls are an epidemic and are invading the privacy of All American Voters.
Our members are taking a stand and saying enough is enough at the National Political Do Not Contact Registry at StopPoliticalCalls.org.
Here is a quote from a member this morning:
“I will not vote for anyone that solicits me by costing me money! Every time I answer one of their stupid calls on my cell it cost me minutes and if I don't answer they just leave messages which cost money to listen to!!! I wish they would STOP!”
