Since All Aboard Florida announced its plans for high-speed rail service in Florida, Congressman Patrick Murphy has been one of their most enthusiastic supporters. In an October letter he wrote Secretary of Transportation Foxx, he said the train would have a "lasting impact on Florida’s economy and transportation system."  He went on to say it would serve "as a model" for similar areas around the country.

Last night I attended, along with several hundred other residents, a meeting on All Aboard Florida in Jupiter. Congressman Murphy made a brief presentation in which he defended his support of the plan. He did however pander to the audience by repeating some of the shortfalls of the system that they had brought to his attention. But when asked by TV reporters after the meeting he continued to express his support for the project. 

Patrick Murphy wants you believe he is a bipartisan congressman. But these frantic robo calls from his liberal friends in the Democratic leadership prove just how partisan (and desperate) he really is. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) began running robo calls and web-based ads against Carl Domino this week.  

Jupiter, FL – April 8, 2014 - Carl Domino has received wide-spread grassroots support to ensure he is on the ballot for the congressional race in Florida’s district 18.  The Friends of Carl Domino campaign announced that Carl Domino received around 6,000 completed petitions from local residents throughout the district and enough of those petitions have been certified to secure his place on the ballot.  Any other candidates who intend to file for the November election and August primary and have not gone to the people by petition will have to pay $10,000 to list their name on ballot.

 “I am honored to be the Republican in this race, with a great grassroots volunteer organization, to receive the popular support from voters throughout the district,” said Domino.  “2014 is going to be a winning year.”
