⚡️Please vote for Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson for U.S. Senate!

🙌He stands up for what is right!

☑️Bill Nelson stood up for the kids after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

👉At the CNN Town Hall, he pointed out that Governor Rick Scott didn’t show up and even defended NRA money recipient Marco Rubio ($3,303,355 received from the NRA) for having the "guts" to show up and take criticism. A lot of it.

☑️Time and time again Bill Nelson stands up for the Environment. After the BP oil spill, Nelson co-sponsored the RESTORE Act, which directed money from BP fines to states affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

🌴One of the polls out on the #Florida Senate race, is done by Florida Atlantic University, a known Koch campus. #UnKochMyCampus

🧂I would take any poll from that University with a grain of salt.

💥Florida Atlantic University was also recently involved in a scandal. Professor Marshall DeRosa,, who received a grant from the Koch Foundation, claimed "blacks caused slavery" and called Caitlin Jenner a “freak of nature.”

DeRosa has tenure.

❗️The grant was to teach inmates in a privatized prison run by Boca Raton-based GEO Group.
