Florida Democratic Party Statement on Joe Biden’s Election as President of the United States
Florida Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement:

    “Congratulations to President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris. Today we celebrate the start of a new chapter for our country. We saw record breaking vote totals with Joe Biden winning more votes than any President in history. Today’s win was a victory for America and a victory for the millions of volunteers who gave their time, their heart and their soul to secure this outcome, and we thank them for their commitment to elect leadership that will build America back better. 

    “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will work tirelessly to improve the lives of every single American. Their inclusive, clear-eyed leadership is precisely what we need to restore the soul of this nation. The Biden-Harris administration will also make history, as the brilliant Kamala Harris will be both the first woman and the first Black and Southeast Asian Vice President. 

    “We have much work to do, as a nation and as a state, but Joe Biden has never given up when things are difficult, and neither will we. Along with all Florida Democrats, I cannot wait for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to be sworn in as the next President and Vice President of the United States."

Trump in
Quicksand
              By Lance Carden
 
 Trump’s house is built
            politically
            on mere quicksand--
on lies, half-truths, & hate,
            on which
            biblically
nothing can firmly stand.
 
So, sooner than later,
            prophetically,
            Trump’s tall towers,
his henchmen, & all
            seem certain
            to self-collapse,
& great will be their fall.

Me for President
            By Lance Carden
 
When I was a little child,
            it was said
anyone could be President,
            even me,
though I could never quite
            believe it,
assuming it would have to be
            somebody
obviously, undeniably right.
 
But now, with the presidency
            filled by
Mr. Donald J. Trump,
            my term
as POTUS seems less & less
            mad,
& more like an absolutely
            possible jump!
 
I’m Lance Carden, & I approve
            of this ad.

                    Souls for Sale?                                                    By Lance Carden

​There is no longer
any room
 for doubt
           about whether
our President, Donald Trump,
         has sold out
     his office
        & his soul,
 but we might have to wait
as late
          as December
                    to witness the fate
of some other GOP souls,
        in the House
          & the Senate--
to know
if they also are about to be sold!
