“Jeff Greene is running as a Democrat for United States Senate because he is best equipped to take on the culture of corruption in Washington,” said Greene spokesman Luis Vizcaino. “He hasn’t taken a penny of special interest money in his campaign. He’ll put Florida first, and can’t be bought by lobbyists. He’s a proven jobs creator, with 30 years of successful business experience. None of the other candidates, who are all career politicians, understand the economy like he does – because they’ve been in Washington while he was taking on Wall Street.” … Continue Reading

Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate: Harry Reid Said What?

“I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican” - Harry Reid

Yep. He said it. And he’s standing by it!

And Marco is speaking out against it because he knows that no matter what race, creed or ethnicity one is, it is the principles of limited government and individual freedom which define our movement and our party.

This is just the latest example of the wrong-minded, wrong-headed thinking coming out of Washington that we have to put an end to. Statements and leadership like Harry Reid’s will never get America back on the path to prosperity. We have no choice but to stand up and offer a better way.

And that’s just what Marco is doing and people all over the country are responding and standing with Marco! Over 93,000 people have watched Marco’s interview taking Harry Reid to task. Watch “Ridiculous” here and share with your friends.

Fight Harry Reid’s ridiculous and outrageous comments by standing with Marco today. Make your voice heard and donate to help Marco continue to stand up to the extreme liberal agenda and their narrow-minded thinking.

Proud to stand,

Team Rubio

Jeff Greene for U.S. Senate: Failed Career Politican Charlie Crist: Least Popular Governor in 16 Years

55 Percent Of Floridians Disapprove Of Governor Crist

West Palm Beach, FL – With the release of today’s Mason-Dixon poll that shows Governor Crist at a record low approval rating, it has become clear that the people of Florida won’t be fooled by yet another flip-flopping career politician.

“Floridians should not be surprised that Governor Crist has the lowest approval rating of any Florida governor in 16 years. He bolted from the GOP when it became clear he wasn’t going to be the nominee for Republican Party of Florida. He’s since tried to reinvent himself as a centrist, and lied about his conservative stances on issues like off-shore oil drilling and a woman’s right to choose. Now, he’s running from photo op to photo op trying to salvage his career,” said Jeff Greene, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. “Governor Crist is another in a series of failed career politicians like Kendrick Meek and Marco Rubio that put their corrupt special interest cronies first and the people of Florida last.” … Continue Reading

Jeff Greene for U.S. Senate: Jeff Greene Campaign Update

Date: July 31, 2010

To: Interested Parties

From: Luis Vizcaino, Communications Director, Jeff Greene Campaign

Re: Campaign Update

With just a few weeks to go before Florida voters go to the polls to choose their Party’s nominee for U.S. Senate, Jeff Greene continues to travel across the state introducing himself and outlining his plans to create jobs, spur the economy and protect the environment. And the recent polls show that voters are looking for an outsider who is a proven jobs creator. It is clear Jeff’s message is resonating.

A Quinnipiac University poll released last week shows that Jeff has surged ahead in the primary, up 10 points over Kendrick Meek [Greene 33, Meek 23]. The same poll also found that Jeff faired better than Meek in a three-way matchup against Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio. Jeff is humbled by the support he’s received over the past few months and will continue to campaign across the state to earn every vote. … Continue Reading

JEFF GREENE FOR U.S. SENATE: JEFF GREENE CAMPAIGN EXPOSES CORRUPT WASHINGTON POLITICIAN KEDNDRICK MEEK’S ROLE IN HOUSING CRISIS

West Palm Beach, FL – The Jeff Greene campaign sent out a new statewide mailer exposing Kendrick Meek’s ties to subprime lenders, and his role in the housing crisis that caused families across Florida to lose their homes.
