Lafayette, Suwannee, and Leon counties Florida

We had a fantastic day today. We met with some of the great people of Lafayette, Suwannee, and Leon counties. I'll describe my day for you, but first I want to address a more disappointing topic.

As we predicted, the big money interests are already at it. Today, the first negative piece of campaigning hit mailboxes, and they are pretty desperate. They called me a tax raiser which is simply not true. I fought for the largest tax cut in the history of our state this year, and I'll continue the fight in the Florida Senate. The special interests twist the truth for power, and it's disappointing.

Almost three weeks ago, I signed a clean campaign pledge and requested that our Republican opponents sign it and abide by it. The pledge is on file with Chairman Jim Greer at the Republican Party of Florida. We're still waiting for my opponent to sign it. And so I will repeat my request that Charlie Dean sign the clean campaign pledge and condemn any third party attacks that violate that pledge.

Big corporations, big trial lawyers, big casino lobbyists -- these are the special interests in Tallahassee that are trying to steamroll this election by misleading the voters. They don't mind if our water goes to south Florida and our crime rate goes through the roof. They care about fattening their wallets... not about us.

However, I have confidence in the voters of District 3, and I have confidence in the truth, and I believe both will win on June 5. I believe the voters of this district care about values, about freedom, and about opportunity. And I'm ready to fight for the good people of this district.

And speaking of those good people, let me tell you more about them and about my day. At 5:30 this morning we departed from Tallahassee for Mayo in Lafayette County. (I actually attended first grade in Mayo.) We ate breakfast with Lafayette County Sheriff Carson McCall and a dozen other community leaders. We also sat with County Commissioner Charles Driver, City Commissioner Jim Catron, and Louis Shiver, a Suwannee River Water Management District Governing Board member. After breakfast, we took a tour of the Lafayette County Court House and met with Lafayette County Property Appraiser Tim Walker. We ate lunch at Big Pig Bar-B-Q in Mayo. The food was outstanding!

After lunch, we toured the Brewer Lake Baptist Church and met many members of the congregation. This was a great journey back for me; my father was the pastor at Brewer Lake Baptist Church. After the church, we met with local businessman Mike Shaw, and before we left Mayo, we met Suwanee County local radio host John Coke for an on location interview. It was a great day, and I am proud of the support we have in Mayo.

God Bless You,

Dennis
