60 Feet of Protest

April 20th, 2010 by flanews

Supporters of the new health care regulations unrolled a 60 foot long petition signed by more than 76-hundred Floridians in the state Attorney General’s Office this morning.

Petitioners want the Attorney General to drop his lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of health care changes. The Attorney General was out of town, but Damien Filer with Progress Florida says he’ll get the message.

“I think that there is enough momentum behind this, in fact there was a poll that came out yesterday that showed that Floridians overwhelmingly oppose his efforts to do this. Bill McCollum is the Attorney General of Florida, he’s suppose to be the people’s attorney, and he’s not representing the interest of the people of Florida and I think that he’s going to get that message today.” Said Filer.

A Monday Quinnipiac poll released shows that 54 percent of Florida voters opposes the suit… with just 40 in favor of the AG’s efforts.
