Just How Much More?

Scott launches newspaper writing campaign for himself

110617_rick_scott.jpgGov. Rick Scott, the rare statewide politician who doesn't read Florida news, is asking supporters to send a letter to their local newspaper editor praising his work as governor. The letter, of course, would be printed in a paper's editorial section. Scott has yet to sit for an interview with any editorial board in the state.
Scott includes a pre-written letter on his web site that refers to himself as "refreshing" and that he deserves "unwavering and enthusiastic support." A link to the letter was included in an e-mail Scott sent to supporters today boasting that Florida's unemployment rate declined for the fifth consecutive month.
The form letter is set up to be sent to the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Jacksonville Times-Union, Orlando Sentinel, Tallahassee Democrat, Tampa Tribune and the Scripps papers along the Treasure Coast.
Here's a copy:
Dear Editor,

When Rick Scott ran for Governor he promised to create jobs and turn our economy around. I voted for Rick because he’s always been a businessman, not a politician. While politicians usually disappoint us and rarely keep their promises, Rick is refreshing because he’s keeping his word. His policies are helping to attract businesses to our state and get people back to work. Some of the special interests are attacking the Governor for making tough decisions, showing leadership, and doing what he told us he would do. Rick Scott deserves our unwavering and enthusiastic support. How can we expect to elect leaders who will keep their word and do what’s right for our state if we don’t stand up for those with the courage to set priorities, make difficult choices, and actually deliver on their promises made? 

Well heres my version:
Dear Editor,
When Rick Scott ran for Governor he promised to create jobs and turn our economy around. I didn’t vote for Rick because he’s always been a crook, and a liar. While politicians usually disappoint us and rarely keep their promises, Rick is refreshing because you are certain he is lying. His policies are helping to attract businesses to our state at the cost of our environment and get people back to work at low paying jobs without any benefits or rights. Most of the people are attacking the Governor for making decisions, showing criminal disregard for our state, and doing what those of us who didn’t vote for him, knew he would do. Rick Scott deserves our unwavering and continual scrutiny so eventually an investigation into his activities would be initiated. How can we expect to elect leaders who will keep their word and do what’s right for our state if we keep on electing people like Rick Scott.
