Welcome

Freedom Democrats is the Chartered, Miami-Dade Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Democratic Caucus. Freedom Democrats are Democrats who fight everyday for full freedoms and civil rights yet afforded many people, including GLBT people, across Miami-Dade, Florida and the United States of America. We are proud to represent your voice, regardless if it is a GLBT voice or other person discriminated against by people, our government, businesses, or other organizations.

Nothing we do means anything without you letting us know what is important to you. Please join us on the second Thursday of each month @ 7:00 pm for our business meetings. For more details of these and other events, please click here

Voters' Information: Whom do I Vote For? What are the Issues? VOTE!!!

Freedom Democrats offer the following links to helping you, the voter, find the information you need to make an informed decision about whom you vote for and referendums for 2009 and beyond.

Freedom Democrats' charter does not allow us to make any endorsements for candidates. We are an information source and encourage everyone to vote. Our underlying name might give you a hint as to whom we think you should vote for, but the decision is your decision.

We hope these links help.
