Hi All,
Congresswomen Debbie Wasserman Shultz won't debate, so far, with Karen Harrington. Both are running for District 20 congressional seat. This is the thing that gets me so mad about Congresswomen Wasserman Shultz. She loves to hide. From my experience, when the health care debate came up, she would not meet with me. All I got was emails from her. I had to get a special invitation to meet with her which I never received.
Here is a recent video of her debating with congressman Ryan. At least we can see where she stands and will she take responsibility for the recent course of this country. What do you think of this debate? Who won?

Helping Karen Harrington Win
As Robert Duval said in the Apocalypse Now, the movie, "It smells like victory", I am hoping that the case for Karen Harrington who is running for Congress in my District 20. She is running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I am going to use this blog to communicate my journey with Karen and the victory party on November 2nd.
She is running against a career politician. Her opponent, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, does what ever she wants and votes however she wants and does not listen to her constituents. She hides in her office. I learned this the hard way during the Health Care debate. I called the office of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and wanted to see when Debbie was going to have a town hall meeting to explain the health care bill. I was told the only way to meet her was by invitation only. NO ACCESS to her or any public town hall type meetings!! Wow, what a helpless feeling. No input, no way to communicate with my representative, only by email. Of coarse I sent emails of my feelings and I got a canned response back. Like I was a little boy in school, " Good little Johnny, just take your medicine and don't talk back to teacher".
Politics is like crack cocaine, you can't get enough of it and you will do anything to get it. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a career a politician, never worked a job except in the political arena. She is the elite class, from what I read, and you can read her bio, government this and government that. How does she really know what I need, an entrepreneur, for 15 years and what is best for me and my family. She doesn't. She will do what ever it take to stay and keep her, $174,000 a year job and power. Not a bad job, and I don't know the perks she gets too. All I know, I have lived for over 15 years in my neighborhood and been active on my civic association and I have never seen her at any rally or political function. You would think I would see her somewhere, a parade, around Fort Lauderdale, city hall, NOPE.
OK, enough talking about her, now let's talk about Karen Harrington. Just to start, before I decided to help Karen, I have seen Karen prior to making my decision to help her, at my church, at a rally, and meet her face to face and talked with her. A real person, finally!! This helped me solidify my decision to help her campaign. I am really excited for her and her chances of winning. It won't be easy because she does not have the name recognition but I enjoy the challenge and seeing the outcome in November. The one thing I "LOVE" about Karen is she owns and runs a business called Rickey's Restaurant. Being a restaurant owner, I know she knows hard work, working in a kitchen, waiting tables, balancing budgets, and talking to customers. She is a real entrepreneur, in fact she opened a second restaurant in Pembroke Pines, which is not an easy task. She knows what a business needs and how to give employment. She is living it. Not sitting in an ivory tower of Washington's politics and telling what is good for us. To find out more about Karen go to her Website, Karen for Congress.com
Well I planned to blog here of my journey volunteering with Karen Harrington's campaign. Read her bio and give me your opinion of Karen and her opponent.
God Bless,
John
