Good Evening Team Hillary,

I would like to extend a warm “thank you” to everyone who showed up yesterday at Orlando’s “Florida Counts” rally. The official count hovered at around 150, and the entertainment was more than we could have imagined! Our rally attracted Central Florida News 13 and 90.7FM WMFE (NPR Radio). For press coverage, please visit the link below.

I don’t generally make such recommendations, but I do want to offer a “plug” for Central Florida News 13. Our organization (and the other grassroots groups in Orlando) have mostly been ignored by the local media. Why report on something positive like democracy in action when another home invasion could be fit into that 30 second time slot, eh? There does appear to be an exception to the rule though - Central Florida News 13 shows up whenever we attract a large crowd, and their reporters have always created stories out of our footage that strives toward objectivity and honesty. No news organization is unbiased, but CF News 13 and their parent organization, CNN, have treated us fairly and they deserve to be recognized for that.

Turn to any other station and you get the same old tired story line - no one in Florida cares about the reality that they’ve been disenfranchised, and no one is doing anything about it either. We know that isn’t the truth.

Neither Chris Mathews or Sean Hannity have ever ventured to Florida to ask the voters: what do you think? If they ignore us, perhaps we should consider ignoring them…

Best,
Jessy Hamilton
Hillary Clinton for President

Mark It!
