Kendrick Meek Gets Approval From Democratic Heavy Hitters

Former President Bill Clinton Rallies For Kendrick Meek

Former President Bill Clinton will make appearances at three South Florida rallies on Monday to stump for Kendrick Meek's United States Senate campaign.

His first stop includes an event at Pompey Park this afternoon at 4pm (1101 Northwest 2nd Street, Delray Beach, Florida), followed by a 6pm event at the Olympia Theater At The Gusman Performing Arts Center (174 East Flagler Street in Miami, Florida).

Meek has also gained the approval of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Last week The Kendrick Meek campaign released a robocall recorded by Speaker Nancy Pelosi praising Kendrick's leadership on children's health care.

"I'm humbled to have Speaker Pelosi support my campaign in this way", said Meek. For years, Speaker Pelosi and I have stood together fighting for Florida's children. Her testimonial only further proves that there is just one real Democrat in this race and only one candidate who will fight for middle-class Florida families."

The call was placed to hundreds of thousands Florida households.

In the call, (listen here) Pelosi asks Floridians to support Meek for Senate.

"I'm calling to ask you to vote for Kendrick Meek for U.S. Senate and to set the record straight. Kendrick has an outstanding leadership record on children's health care. Kendrick voted three times for children's health insurance. He worked to make sure we got it passed to fund Florida KidCare. To say anything else, is not true."

Speaker Pelosi also appeared in the Meek campaign's second campaign ad, shown here.

Meek is running against billionaire Jeff Greene. Voting in the Florida primary takes place on August 24th.

Meek also made an appearance at DNC fundraising event with President Obama while the First Family visited the region this past weekend.  Meek was a huge supporter of Hiliary Clinton during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Ain't that a hoot.

Personal Note:  I always saw Meek as a presidential candiate the moment I heard him speak at an event in Washington in 2007.

In wake of the Zika virus, travel, spring break still O.K.

Representatives from the CDC and the NIH were on hand at the White House during Monday's press briefing to update the public and address concerns over the Zika virus that has caused some babies to be born with deformities. Dr. Anne Schuchat from the Centers for Disease Control and Dr. Tony Fauci from the National Institutes of Health told reporters that a vaccine is in the making.   The pair also said they are particulary concerned about women who are pregnant, or plan to get pregnant, who have either traveled to or plan to travel to areas of South America and the Carribean known to have the Zika virus. Despite those bold statements, the doctors said there is no wide-spread concern and that Americans should continue to travel, including during upcoming college spring breaks --  when college students travel to warmer climate destinations to escape winter weather. "Travel to Zika-affected areas is very common among Americans, and we don’t think that needs to stop...
