House Majority Leader Lopez-Cantera Calls on Bill Nelson to Apologize for Politicizing Capture of Osama Bin Laden
Tallahassee, Fla. - Florida House Majority Leader Carlos Lopez-Cantera (R-Miami) issued the following statement regarding a press conference held today by U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, hosted by Members of the House Democrat Caucus. During the press conference, Senator Nelson accused the Florida Legislature of trying to deny the right to vote to those soldiers who aided in the capture and killing of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden.
"Senator Nelson's tactics amount to nothing more than an outrageous political stunt, motivated solely by his re-election campaign at the expense of our Armed Forces. His disgraceful suggestion that the Florida Legislature would attempt to diminish the voting rights of American heroes is offensive and untruthful, and I demand that Senator Nelson immediately apologize for politicizing what should be a moment of unity for our nation.
"As Americans, we should be celebrating the capture of Osama Bin Laden as a step forward in the war on terror, remembering the thousands of American citizens he killed and those who have lost their lives in the global war on terror. Instead, Senator Nelson is using this American victory as a campaign stunt, and that is deplorable.
"As a U.S. Senator, he should be focused on tackling our failed federal immigration policy, preserving the space coast economy, and pushing back against an administration that is threatening to raise taxes on job creators when Florida is experiencing record high unemployment."

Take a look at Col. Mike McCalister (candidate for the Republican nomination to run against Nelson) at
www.mikemccalisterforsenate.com/ and let's send Senator Nelson home.
I just conveyed my disgust to Senator Nelson's office.
two things I want before 2014...
1 - the end of all diplomatic ties to the UN and
2 - the end to all funding of UN activities by the United States... I didn't see UN aid workers at Katrina... nor in Alabama...
How many times, in the last eight years has a DEMOCRAT administration, in state after state after state somehow forgotten to send out military absentee ballots for them to be returned in time for an election?
For a democrat liar like Bill NElson to insinuate the state of Florida is somehow trying to disenfranchise milktary voters is the height of liberal hypocrisy.
While we're on liberal lies and hypocrisy, how about asking how much uproar would be going on around the world had G.W. Bush ordered troops to invade Pakistan and kill people? Had G.W. Bush ordered the troops into Pakistan to kill or capture bin Laden, the world communists (UN) would, today, be calling for him to be tried as a war criminal in The Hague for invading a sovereign foreign nation. Bill "the piece of crap" Nelson would more than likely be leading the charge.
wasn't his candidate - Al Gore - that tried to get the absentee ballots from the Military tossed because they lacked a postmark?
Hypocrite!
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
