Putnam needs to be defeated. He has been a George Bush follower and has done little for the people of Florida. His district has the highest unemployment rate in Florida as well as one of the highest rates of families living in poverty. He sits on the subcommittee responsible for overseeing the financial markets and votes to support his buds in the financial indistries while they contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns. He is the most obvious of the Tom Delay-like minions. Vote for Doug Tudor - we need real people with real life experiences to represent the people of the 12th district of Florida.
