Passover Message
Tallahassee–Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer and Dr. Jeffrey Feingold, Chairman of the RPOF’s Jewish Leadership Council, today released the following statement regarding the Jewish Holiday of Passover:
“As we look forward to a bright future for Florida and for the Republican Party, we must remember to embrace the past and the struggles of our ancestors.

Florida Lawmakers Cutting State Budget, Meek Helps Create More Debt Than Ever
Miami–Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer today responded to Congressman Kendrick Meek’s Senate Campaign stop in Tallahassee:
“It is interesting that Congressman Meek, who recently supported increasing federal spending by trillions of dollars, chose the location where Florida lawmakers are faced with the challenge of cutting billions from the state budget to discuss his bid for the United States Senate,” said Chairman Greer.
While Florida lawmakers painstakingly review every line of the state budget to ensure funding for critical services while maintaining a balanced budget, Congressman Meek supports a national deficit likely to reach its highest post-World War II level and voted for an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Resolution to set even higher taxes and increase spending plans so outrageous that most of his Democrat colleagues voted against it.
“Just last month, Congressman Meek said he wanted to bring spending under control and bring down the deficit, yet Meek helped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Washington pass the largest tax increase in American history, double the size of the national deficit, and create more debt than every other U.S. President from George Washington to George W. Bush – combined,” continued Greer. “Even in tough budget times Florida lawmakers in Tallahassee fight to avoid tax increases, but Congressman Meek certainly didn’t fight to include President Obama’s long-promised middle class tax cuts when he voted in lock step with Nancy Pelosi on increased taxes and spending.”
“The fact that Congressman Meek would come to Tallahassee to tout his Senate Campaign, after voting for higher taxes and more spending, while Florida lawmakers are pinching pennies shows just how out of touch he is with the values and priorities of Floridians,” concluded Greer. “Congressman Meek clearly isn’t fighting for the people of Florida in the U.S House, so how can we expect to stand up for Florida in the United States Senate?”
