>Dear MoveOn member,
>
>Remember Katherine Harris?  She was the secretary of state for
>Florida who decided that a recount wasn't necessary, although
>that's the standard practice in any other close election.
>She was the secretary of state that purged over 50,000 qualified
>black voters from the rolls before the election.
>
>The Bush family is trying to pay back Harris' "favor" by giving
>her a Congressional seat in Florida.  They've raised a ton of
>money.  They've sent Jeb Bush to stump for her.  However, it's
>not working.  Jan Schneider is running a great race against
>Harris and the vote is going to be incredibly close.

>
>What's even sweeter about this race is that Schneider is a
>wonderful candidate.  Schneider, a lawyer, author and
>long-time political activist, is eminently qualified.
>
>Local papers are endorsing Schneider.  Even the Sarasota
>Herald-Tribune, which endorsed Harris four times running for
>public office, couldn't stomach it this time:
>
>"That hope vanished as the mistakes and misjudgments
>  that plagued Harris' years in public office continued
>  right through her confounding resignation as secretary
>  of state.  Nothing has occurred in the general election
>  campaign to suggest that anything will change for the
>  better...  We recommend Jan Schneider for U.S. House
>  of Representatives, District 13."

>Give now to Schneider and foil Bush's payback scheme at:
