Dear Friends,

Floridians are witnessing the height of two-faced hypocrisy.

The first face…The face they want you to see: The leaders of the Republican Party of Florida rail on about public accountability, responsibility, and transparency.

The second face…The face they try to hide: These same so-called leaders have been knee-deep in the cover up of campaign expenditures; expenditures that are governed by state law and supposed to be used for very specific purposes.  The excuses for a blatant lack of transparency and accountability run the gamut from “not my job” to “not my card.”

How can anyone claim the mantle of public watchdog when they are unwilling to take a strong stand on hidden contracts, outrageous expenditures, lavish spending and irresponsible use of campaign dollars?

How can anyone speak about a “record of integrity” while, at the same time, be in the middle of a massive cover up within their own ranks.

All of our leaders, Republican and Democrats, need to have one face when it comes to transparency, public spending and the misuse of campaign dollars.

If you are looking for a leader who will watch every penny – and every dollar – and tell it to you straight, look no further. If you are fed up with the games being played in the Capitol and are ready for a candidate who understands that transparency starts with our own accounts, you have found the right campaign. My record of standing up for Florida taxpayers is strong – and it is consistent.

When I say “transparent,” I mean it.  When I say “responsible and accountable,” I mean it.  And, when I say I will fight to protect every one of your dollars, I mean that too!

Please join us today and help put an end to two-faced politicians, join our team today by making even a small donation of $10, $25, or $100 dollars.

Thank you,

Loranne Ausley

Dear Friends,

A few short weeks ago, we kicked off our campaign with the backing of some of Florida’s most prominent leaders.

They have joined us because they believe in our message of accountability, responsibility and transparency. They believe in my track record of fighting for Florida taxpayers and for standing up for the working families and children of this state.

But they believe something else as well.

They believe we can win.

Each of them has run – and won. They know what it takes to win. They know that a strong work ethic and an honest commitment to the people of this state are essential to a winning campaign.

But they also know it takes people like you to help us secure victory.

That is why your endorsement is the most important endorsement of this campaign.

Please take a minute – right now – and visit our endorsement page to add your name to our list.

Let us know that you too believe in an open government that is accountable to the people of Florida. Let us know that you want to see a responsible steward of tax dollars in the CFO’s office. Let us know that you agree Florida’s children and families should come first.

..and let Florida know that you believe we can win!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Loranne Ausley

Dear Friends,

When I endorsed Loranne for CFO I told you I would work hard to help her get elected to this critical cabinet post.

And when I said that, I meant it.

You know how much I care about the future of our great state.  I care that we have elected leaders who understand how to safeguard tax dollars. I care that we choose leaders who are not afraid to stand up to those who would spend tax dollars on programs or policies that don’t help average everyday Floridians. (more…)
