Equality Florida Action PAC Endorses Charlie Crist for Governor!

"Floridians deserve a governor who fights for them  including for their right to 
marry the person they love and to be safe from discrimination in the workplace." 
- Charlie Crist






The Equality Florida Action PAC, the largest organization dedicated to electing 
pro-equality candidates in Florida, has endorsed Charlie Crist for Governor 
today.

The early endorsement reflects the urgency of electing a Governor who will speed 
progress when it comes to equality, not stand in way of fairness.

Florida is at a critical moment in our struggle to end discrimination, and the 
next Governor will have a tremendous impact on the everyday lives of lesbian, 
gay, bisexual and transgender people in our state. Charlie Crist has taken a 
clear stand for equality and fairness and is delivering a message that will 
inspire the growing pro-equality majority in our state to stand on the right 
side of history.

A former Republican Governor turned Democratic contender, Crist broke from his 
party over its increasing hostility toward gay people, women, the poor, and the 
party's voter suppression tactics. He has apologized for past votes that went 
against his own conscience, and he has made good on promises to be an unyielding 
voice for full equality under the law for the LGBT community. 

As Governor, Crist ended his support of Florida's notorious anti-gay adoption 
ban and pledged to help dismantle it. When a Miami judge ruled the ban violated 
basic rights and harmed children by denying them the security of a forever 
family, Crist refused to appeal the decision and  worked with the Department of 
Children and Families to stop enforcement of  the ban that same day, paving the 
way for adoptions to take place immediately.

Not only is Charlie Crist a full supporter of LGBT equality, but he is already 
running a race strong enough to combat Rick Scott's massive war chest. He is 
consistently shown polling even or ahead of Scott and is attracting donors who 
are raising the kind of money needed to win.

Charlie Crist's position on the freedom to marry reflects the evolution of 
Florida voters. The clear majority now supports full legal recognition of 
marriage and that support is growing rapidly regardless of political party, age 
or religious identification. With the freedom to marry looming on Florida's 
horizon, we must have a pro-equality Governor in the Tallahassee.

The next Governor is likely to appoint four Supreme Court Justices, and we 
cannot afford to leave our Supreme Court in the hands of a Governor who refuses 
to recognize even the most basic rights for LGBT people. We encourage every 
Floridian who values basic human rights to support Charlie Crist for Governor.
