I just want someone to explain to the American public why investing in transportation in Iraq is so much more important than investing in passenger rail right here in the United States of America.

So here we are, just two months away from the election, with more and more examples that modern day Jim Crowe laws are alive and well in the state of Florida.

We are also ignoring and underfunding high speed rail which is one of the best ways to move citizens and improve congestion on our highways.

I do not support a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage.

I have spent my entire life working to make my community and my country better. And I can't wait to get inside the courtroom to tell my story.

We continue to subsidize highways and aviation, but when it comes to our passenger rail system, we refuse to provide the money Amtrak needs to survive.

You know, having been an election monitor in countries across the world, I can tell you that we would never certify another country's election if it had as many flaws in place as we had in Florida.
