Bill Young R-FL has got to go. He has been in office 42 years and is the longest serving republican in congress. He won reelection with 57 % of the vote but this vote is coming out of tradition and habit. Young is no longer effective and his area went strongly for Obama
Today was just the latest in a series of recent episodes where Young appeared unable to properly deal with his public responsibilities. Here is an account from Creative Loafing on Young's skirmish with protesters requesting his stance on taxes and the fiscal cliff.
In July this year, Rep. Young was caught on video telling a young man who asked him to support an increase in the minimum wage to "Get A Job"
In September this year, Young was insistent that the Occupy Movement was after him and had tried to break into his home but the police who checked the scene said there was no evidence of forced entry.
The Democratic National Congressional Committee is focusing on Rep. Young seat as one of the top four most vulnerable seats in 2014. Let's make it happen!
