What’s at Stake on November 5th?

Do You Want Four More Years of Your Kid’s Future going to Jeb’s Corporate Cronies?

 

·        On October 28th the Associated Press reported that a software company (Ignite Inc.) owned by Jeb’s younger brother Neil was working to get a contract with the state to sell FCAT test preparation software to Florida’s schools at the huge cost of $30 per student.

 

·        Never heard of Neil Bush?  Neil Bush is the youngest of the Bush brothers but has not been heard from since 1988 when he was Director of the failed Silverado Banking Savings and Loan Association. 

 

·        The S&L bailout cost taxpayers $30 billion.  Neil Bush’s failed bank cost us an estimated $1 billion.  He was forced to pay a $50,000 fine and was investigated by a grand jury.  The investigation was halted and Neil left the country.  Coincidentally, his father was President at the time.  Since then, they don’t talk much about him.

 

·        The Sarasota Herald Tribune reports that Neil Bush has been banned from certain activities in the savings and loan industry for voting to loan over $100 million from Silverado to his business partners and for not disclosing other conflict of interest violations.

 

·        Now Neil hopes to make billions from our taxes and Jeb’s FCAT scheme. 

 

WE MUST TAKE OUR STATE BACK FROM THESE PIRATES BEFORE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT!

 

YOUR EFFORTS ARE PAYING OFF!

 

The latest Garin/Hart/Yang Research Group poll shows:

Bush 48% - McBride 45%

A Statistical dead heat!

The poll also shows that McBride’s momentum is growing while Jeb’s is slowing down!
