Six Florida races could help give GOP control of Congress

WASHINGTON — Florida's party primaries last week set the stage for a half-dozen closely contested congressional elections this fall that could help resurgent Republicans regain majority control of Congress.

National political analysts foresee a Republican gain of two or three U.S. House seats in Florida.

Four Democratic incumbents appear vulnerable: Alan Grayson of Orlando, Suzanne Kosmas of New Smyrna Beach, Allen Boyd of Monticello and Ron Klein of Boca Raton. On the other hand, two open seats vacated by Republicans in South and Central Florida offer opportunities for Democrats.

Though the topic of Sunday's "Community Briefing" at Temple Beth Zion in Royal Palm Beach was "U.S.- Israel Relations," much of the two-hour, afternoon discussion focused on the danger of a nuclear-armed Iran.

Allen West Requests Bi-Partisan Support Against Ground Zero Mosque

Dear Fellow Patriots,

This morning I delivered the following letter to Congressman Ron Klein, requesting his bi-partisan support in taking a stand against the proposed Mosque at Ground Zero. I hope you will echo my sentiments to him, as it is essential that we not allow this mosque to be built on the hallowed ground where thousands of our fellow countrymen lost their lives.

Dear Congressman Klein,

Last week, President Obama made the following comment regarding the proposed mosque at Ground Zero:

Politico: Fla.challenger raising cash fast

West has now topped his opponent, incumbent Democratic Rep. Ron Klein, for four consecutive reporting periods. Klein reported raising $142,000 for July and has $2.8 million on hand. Klein has raised just short of $2.5 million over the course of the cycle. West, who lost to Klein by a 10 percent margin just two years ago, has tapped into a vein of conservative support.

The Weekly Standard: Florida House race to watch

West's campaign has raised $3.5 million so far this cycle, with $2.2 million cash on hand. That war chest makes him formidable in the task to oust Klein, one of the most well-funded Democrats in the House.

Statement by FL22 Congressional Candidate Allen West on Court Ruling of AZ Immigration Bill

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 29th, 2010

(Deerfield Beach, FL) "Yesterday's decision by Justice Susan Bolton in the Arizona Illegal Immigration Law case placed irresponsible and illogical special interest politics over the rule of law. America is a Constitutional Republic which embraces the fundamental premise of the rule of law. In the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Sections 8 and 10; Article 4, Section 4; and the 10th Amendment provide Arizona a basis for taking necessary action to protect its citizens against a cross border invasion of illegal immigrants. As the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats celebrate their perceived victory, thousands of Americans are once again in the line of fire.
