Recall Rick Scott

Please feel free to cut and paste any or all of this sample letter and e-mail it to your state and local elected officials.

Dear [representative],

I’m writing to let you know that because I am deeply disappointed in the recent actions of our new Governor, and because I support the right of a state’s citizens to hold our elected officials accountable, I am urging you to give HJR785 your full support.

Rick Scott is bad news for Florida — legislators from both parties agree that his decision to scratch the long-awaited high-speed rail project was ill-advised, indefensible and unconscionable, especially considering Florida’s current unemployment rate and the fact that 25% of our revenue comes from the tourism industry. In addition, his push to cut funding for education speaks volumes about his shortsightedness regarding the matters that will shape not only Florida’s future, but that of our entire nation.

I hope you will support not only HJR785/HB787, but any further actions aimed at the recall of Gov. Scott.

Many regards,
