THANK YOU! We build to take back the White House in 2008 and Hold our Elected Officials Accountable

Freedom Democrats want to take moment and say thank ALL of you for everything you have done to support us the past six months to our drive to the elections this past November 7.

Building any organization is difficult and building a political one in Miami Dade can be a challenge, so say the pundits. Freedom Democrats disagree.

We have found that many people ARE very interestd in their local, state, and national politics. The "answer" we provide to the community is to be an ongoing source of information and events for ALL of you, GLBT, straight, or otherwise.

Our mission is to represent your voice and our goal is to be the consistent information source and organization that is there each and every month, letting you know what is happening. in our community and holding elected officials accountable.

Please continue to "help us help you" and participate in our ongoing dialogue to protect all civil rights for all people. We promise to continue to ask the establishment and our elected officials if they are being visionaries in protecting the future of Miami Dade County for all of us.
