Year in Review
Thanks to you, we've had quite a year! We've mobilized tens of thousands of Floridians against Pink Slip Rick's job-killing agenda. In the winter, we awoke the state. In the summer, we turned the heat up with madlibs, donuts and robocalls. And, in the fall, we showed Florida just how scary Pink Slip Rick is.
