The GMO situation is part of a larger story--big-money special interests taking over our government against the interests of the people. The corruption that greased GMO products through the FDA without real testing, that blocks GMO labeling, and protects the monopoly of the GMO gangsters, only costs them a few million dollars, while they make billions, and threaten our health, too.

Now folks, I have always spoken out against corruption of government at all levels by big-money special interests such as Monsanto and the GMO gangsters, and the politicians who take their money. This corruption costs us billions of dollars every year just in Florida.

What most people don't realize is that corruption has cost us hundreds of thousands of jobs in Florida, too.

When Florida's 4 million seniors are forced BY LAW to overpay billions per year to the pharmaceutical cartels that is the same kind of corruption, brought to us by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Republicans and Democrats exempted the fracking companies from the Clean Water Act and allowed them to pump millions of gallons of secret toxic chemicals that are already showing up in people's water. That's the same kind of corruption.

Closer to home, look at your property insurance bill, hundreds of dollars too much and going up every year. Look at your light bill! The power companies and insurance companies spend a few million buying Florida politicians, and we pay billions extra every year. The list goes on.

Our politicians have sold us out time and again to greedy big-money special-interest scumbags. We all know it, don't we? And we keep re-electing them. Why?

The Republicans and Democrats aren't even real political parties any more. They are service companies for big-money special interests. They are two sides of the same coin.

The first step to fix this situation in Florida is to elect an independent governor, who doesn't work for big-money special interests. As an independent, I will work with both parties to promote legislation that will benefit the people of Florida. And I will veto any legislation that favors special interests over the interests of the people. No Republican or Democrat will do that, and we all know it.

If you are ready for an independent governor with the guts to stand up to big money and the political cartels, and the heart to stand up FOR the people, here I am.

I hope you'll visit our website and learn about other ways to create a million good jobs at no cost to taxpayers, while solving Florida's problems--the high costs of interest, insurance, health care, and much more. See my positions on important issues like medical marijuana. Then tell your friends, and I hope you all vote for me, and for Amendment 2.

Let's all take heart. We can have hope for the future. Americans are waking up and they're getting angry at last.

If a bunch of Yankee snow bunnies up north can stand up to the GMO gangsters and win, so can we!

I would be proud to help lead the fight for GMO labeling and against pay-for-play politics in Florida.

And I would be proud to lead Florida to feed America non-GMO and organic foods and put 200,000 of our friends and neighbors to work for decent pay.

Thank you for having me here and thank you for standing up to Monsanto and the GMO gangsters today!
