Freedom Democrats

Support your Freedom Democrats and learn about issues important to the Miami-Dade, LGBT community including candidates’ positions for office in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and for Federal Office.

Into 2009, Freedom Democrats will host and sponsor fun events to learn about candidates and meet great people. The Miami Dade GLBT community is lucky to have candidates that care about all people and support our efforts to extend the same rights to the GLBT community that all USA citizens take for granted every day.

Freedom Democrats are proud to be a part of a special event January 13, detailed below.

Note: when you attend or sign up for an event please let them know that Freedom Democrats sent you; it helps us raise awareness and ensures that people know that the LGBT community is involved and cares.

Please email Chip Arndt if you have any questions about activities of the Freedom Democrats at chip@merchantadvantage.com up to January 20th.

We are taking a break until January 20th, Inauguration Day, and look forward to getting back into action starting in February 2009 on issues that matter to Democrats and the LGBT community.

Thank you all for your support in 2008 and we look forward to taking advantage of the momentum we are created for Democrats in Miami Dade for 2009.

There is still much work to do for all citizens of Florida and we look forward to helping advance legislatin that protects the LGBT community and electing Democrats to office in the years to come.

Happy Holiday Season,

Your Freedom Democrat Team
