Boycott Florida Orange Juice

The Issue

Okay, Florida, you had your chance to move your Primary back to March 2012

 TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA   -  Effective today, November 1, 2011 and for the next 30 days or until Florida officials come to their senses, Americans will boycott Florida orange juice.  Please visit http://www.boycottfloridaorangejuice.com

“Every four years we pick the nominees for President of the two major political parties in this country.  Now for whatever reason the state of Florida moved its Primary from March 2012 to January 31, 2012, forcing the four traditionally early states to move their primaries up as well.  New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada all lose half their delegates because of Florida. 

The voters lose, too.  Voters need more time to get to know all eleven serious GOP candidates for President.  We hope that by putting economic pressure on Florida’s 2nd largest industry – Orange Juice – state leaders will do the right thing.”

A Letter was sent to the Governor two weeks ago by presidential candidate Fred Karger  - " We warned Governor Rick Scott, State House Speaker Dean Cannon and Secretary of State Kurt Browning and other Florida political leaders on October 19, 2011 that we would launch our boycott."  http://www.fredkarger.com/posts/karger-threatens-potential-boycott-of-florida-orange-juiceback
