Save Southern Heritage FloridaTampa, FL, United States
28 Feb 2016
Friends, The full out attack on Florida's Southern History that began last year, is still underway. In the last 2 weeks, both houses of the Florida Legislature has passed a bill - SB 310 - that specifically targets Florida's highest ranking military veteran in an underhanded way to 'get rid of him' from the Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. Initiated by a so-called history teacher, John Legg from Pasco County, because when he took his students on a field trip he couldn't explain why Gen. Smith was so important to Florida, he set it as his life's work to take it down. So, now the only thing standing between keeping Gen. Smith in Washington and purging another piece of Florida's Southern history is Gov. Scott's VETO PEN. Please call and email Gov. Scott today. We anticipate that he will act on this on Monday (Feb 29th) or Tuesday (March 1st) so TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Please Call Gov. Scott and tell him to VETO Senate Bill 310. They do count calls. We don't think he expected this issue to be controversial, but let's let him know it is. If you voted for him, it wouldn't hurt to mention that and that you'll be disappointed if he does sign it. Governor Rick Scott Call: 850-488-7146 Rick.Scott@EOG.MyFlorida.com http://www.flgov.com/contact-gov-scott/ The call will only take a minute and the staff is friendly. You don't have to give a reason, but you could use any of the following: *Its pandering to Anti-American extremists; *How we treat yesterday's veterans today signals how we will be treating today's veterans tomorrow; *He was loyal to Florida and answered her call in time of need; *He was an American Veteran - and it would be a slap in the face to Veterans to remove the statue; *He was a good role model and ahead of his time regarding race relations. Please take a moment to make the call. This is our only remaining hope to stop this purge in Tallahassee this year.
