Rise And Prove Them Wrong

They’re using the same old game plan. Glossy mailers touting endorsements fill your mailbox. Robocalls urge super voters to overlook corrupt deals and immunized testimony. Ads fill local papers catering to diverse communities as if the politician actually cares about that diverse community.

They are trying to fool us all over again.

They think you’re ignoring social media and blogs that reveal the dirty underbelly of Broward’s crony capitalism. They think you won’t notice their campaign coffers are filled with companies and lobbyists eager to do business with local government.

They think there is protection in the shadows.

They think you’re ignoring the open records available with a simple google search. They think you’ll never see the big campaign expenditures to Democrat campaign consultants. They think you’ll never find the corporations created to feed off the public trough.

They think you’ll miss their posts and tweets showing the alliances with other undesirable candidates. They think you’ll never figure out which PAC, CCE or ECO is protecting them.

They run on records as thin as the paper they are printed on. Years of waste and corruption papered over by worthless endorsements of friendly organizations out to protect the status quo.

They think you will chalk this up to “coincidence”. They hope you’ll doubt your own common sense. They hope you’ll blame it on “partisanship” or shoddy journalism.

Your instincts are right. Trust them.

There are no coincidences in Broward county.

A tea party conservative Republican pandering to the crowd in power is just as bad as a liberal Democrat that panders to the same crowd. Broward county has too many of these people. We do not need more.

Rise.

Prove them wrong.

Lobbyists And Specials Interests Fund Ilene Lieberman Judicial Campaign

Lobbyists and companies with business before the Broward County Commission have poured thousands of dollars into Ilene Lieberman’s campaign for county judge. Many say Lieberman,currently a Broward County Commissioner, is a professional politician and a novice attorney. Her opponent, Katherine “Katie” McHugh is an experienced trial lawyer. Lieberman touts her experience with the political process at judicial forums.

Lieberman (D-Catlady) received contributions from construction firms, All-Star Toilets, garbage firms, janitorial companies, the Florida Panthers and companies doing business at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport.

Don’t worry, Ilene is speading the money around. She paid her neighbor $1000 to build a website for the campaign.

Ilene Lieberman’s six cats were unavailable for comment.
