It’s not cute, nor clever. It is outrageous. We have to change the way that the people’s business is done in Tallahassee. That means holding our state government accountable and ensuring that Florida officials are living up to our state’s name—and reputation—as The Sunshine State.

That’s why I called on Governor Charlie Crist to investigate this violation of Florida’s “Sunshine Law” and hold every government official involved in this scheme accountable.

If Secretary Kopelousos and her staff have been hiding their communications from the people of Florida, they should immediately resign. Floridians deserve better than the deceptive conduct that has become commonplace in Tallahassee.

It’s time to let the sunshine in and hold the career politicians accountable. Please forward this email to everyone you know—and make sure Tallahassee knows that we’re watching.

In another important effort to stop political game-playing in Tallahassee, last week I asked you to join me in calling for stronger, more responsible oversight of the state pension fund.

The response has been tremendous. Over just a few days, more than 1500 people have signed my petition, supporting my reform plan to provide more oversight and accountability by adding non-political experts, financial professionals, outside auditors, and a pensioners’ representative to the state pension fund board.

That’s a great start—but now I need even more people to stand up and join my call to reform the pension fund’s board of trustees.

Sign my petition now: Show the politicians in Tallahassee that you support my plan to bring real reform to Florida’s pension fund, and protect our investments for years to come!

It’s not going to be easy. I can promise you that the career politicians who have made their living from the politics as usual of Tallahassee are sure going to put up a fight.

That’s why it’s critical that you join me in demanding more and demanding better than the status quo from our state’s officials.

Thank you for joining this fight to bring accountability to Tallahassee.
