Katherine Harris...Darling of the Right Wing...Hero to Conservatives...Rubber Stamp for the Bush Family

FLORIDA'S NEXT SENATOR???

Katherine Harris wants to be Florida's next US Senator. The woman who engineered the 2000 election debacle that put George W. Bush in the White House wants to be a member of the world's most exclusive legislative body, and she and the Republican Party have pledged to raise $20 million to get her there.

But Katherine Harris' values are not your values. She's part of the far right wing that demonizes the GLBT community to advance their ultra-conservative political agenda. They're the ones who are trying to put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the ballot next year to drive up Republican turnout, just as they did last year in the pivotal state of Ohio. It's just a political tactic that appeals to the lowest element of the far right wing. Don't let them impose their values on Florida.

What would Senator Harris mean for you? Just look at her voting record*:

Harris supported:

0%...The Human Rights Campaign (HRC)
0%... NARAL/Pro-Choice America
0%... American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
0%... Disabled American Veterans
11%... Leadership Conference on Civil Rights
20%... National Education Association (NEA)
15%**... League of Conservation Voters (LCV)
0%**... Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA)

That's whom she's against - but who is she for?

Harris supported:

100%...The Christian Coalition
100%**... Family Research Countil
100%... National Right to Life Committee
100%... Business-Industry PAC
100%... Concerned Women for America
