She was the secretary of state for Florida who decided that a recount wasn't necessary, although that's the standard practice in any other close election. She was the secretary of state that purged over 50,000 qualified black voters from the rolls before the election. The Bush family is trying to pay back Harris' "favor" by giving her a Congressional seat in Florida. They've raised a ton of money. They've sent Jeb Bush to stump for her. However, it's not working. Jan Schneider is running a great race against Harris and the vote is going to be incredibly close. Support Jan Schneider against Katherine Harris at: moveonpac.org What's even sweeter about this race is that Schneider is a wonderful candidate. Schneider, a lawyer, author and long-time political activist, is eminently qualified. Local papers are endorsing Schneider. Even the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, which endorsed Harris four times running for public office, couldn't stomach it this time: "That hope vanished as the mistakes and misjudgments that plagued Harris' years in public office continued right through her confounding resignation as secretary of state. Nothing has occurred in the general election campaign to suggest that anything will change for the better... We recommend Jan Schneider for U.S. House of Representatives, District 13." Give now to Schneider and foil Bush's payback scheme at: moveonpac.org Why? Reason #12 -- Democracy is about votes, not favors. On this web page, we're also highlighting four Senate races that are hanging in the balance: Tim Johnson, Senator Jean Carnahan, Tom Strickland, and Jeanne Shaheen. These are real cliffhangers.
