Details
Join us Saturday 26 April for what promises to be the largest - and certainly most important - event we have organized to date. Greater Orlando's Team Hillary in conjunction with Florida Demands Representation (FDR-Orlando) will co-host a major rally at the Lake Eola Park Amphitheatre in Downtown Orlando to send the message that Florida voted and those votes should count! Similar rallies will be held on the same date at locations throughout the Sunshine State. Major media outlets across the nation will be notified as attention turns to the Florida delegate situation following the Pennsylvania Primary. You won't want to miss this...

""Awesome show, great turn out of political support, and what a great message it sent to this great country "COUNT OUR VOTES"" " -

"That was the very first time I've ever got up on stage in front of a public microphone. For the few words I did say, I feel was worth being said, and turned out pretty well I think! Channel News 13 reporter said I will be on the news at 5:pm! So hopefully the news will ring all over Florida, especially the National Democratic Committee members! Was somewhat disapointed that more people didn't show up, the entertainment and speaches were well worth it, and to they that missed it....you missed a good one!" -

"It was a great rally. I wish more people would of attended. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much. We met Jessy. We even got a free Hillary Clinton t shirt, from one delegate that was giving them away. The rally, meeting Jessy, and free t-shirt really made our day. Thank you to all that were involved in putting this rally together it was great. One more thing, the singers were awesome! If another rally is schedule, we will be there. My husband and daughter are going to the rally in Washington DC with the group from FDR. " -

"It was great! Too bad more people weren't there; the FDR group should have planned one or two rallies in the state. I greatly appreciate all of the hard work that Margo and others put into planning the event! Thank you!!"

"Although the turnout wasn't as big as we hoped, I think it's because there were rallies going on all over the state. Plus, some people do not realize how even a small number of very vocal supporters can make a difference. I know people who atttended the protest in NYC outside of NBC a few weeks ago. Only 150 could attend, but it made such a difference it even got mentioned on the shows. And, they've toned it down (some). We still have work to do with NBC. I digress... We can make a difference with these efforts. Let's keep going! I've also got a fact check sheet on the DNC rules, which I'll send to Jessy and Margo."
