rapb: Vote NO on Amendment 4 - 06/14/10 08:06 AM

Why??
 It will cost jobs, raise taxes, and hurt Florida's economy. This has been addressed by the Washington Economics Group. Amendment 4 is likely to cost over 260,000 jobs, and reduce Florida's economic output by more than 34 billion per year.
Watch a clip of what your RAPB President Kevin Kent thinks of Amendment 4  and then forward the video to your friends, family and colleagues.  Click Here
