He's apparently doing everything he can to build up a big database for get out the vote and fundraising. I'm told he recently did a mass mailing to all the Florida citizens who have signed up for the new "Choose Life" license plate. -Ray From: Dodsonmat_private Message-ID: <1e6.f8f5e6e.2c906979at_private> Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 07:48:09 EDT Subject: Re: FC: Is Florida government legislative survey real? or spam? or both?
