Hooray! I am back and now can post
I joined DU about 10 years ago and it wonderful. I lived in Georgia and enjoyed the state level as well as national communication on political issues.
Been gone about 4 years as I moved from Georgia to Florida and changed voting and residency to Florida. (Side note: I went to college in Florida MANY years ago when I was a proud Young Republican and before the party went nuts and went down the road with Reagan, only to get worse since then). At present I am in Sarasota and the Republican party has a pretty powerful majority in this area. I see very few national candidate signs - a few Trump and Clinton - but that is it. Most signs are for local candidates which is encouraging to me that these people at least care about local races.
I need help with Florida issues. Right now, the most confusing one is Constitutional Amendment #1 which is about solar power and the media coverage has me so confused I don't have a clue whether the amendment that is on the ballot is good or bad. Any advise is welcome!
Look forward to being and staying active. I am going to put this same info in the Florida section and hope to get help with some answers. Thanks.
