2012 General Elections: Caribbean-American Voters’ Guide – Broward County
BROWARD COUNTY – The Caribbean-American Politically Active Citizens has developed this Voters’ Guide to help you choose the more appropriate candidates in this general election.
Caribbean-American Politically Active Citizens recommend that you vote for the following candidates because we believe they are more likely to promote the interests of Caribbean-American people in South Florida.
We have watched political news programs, read local and national newspapers, attended candidate forums, and consulted with local community leaders. We have assessed the candidates based on their positions or policies, including, but not limited to, U.S. immigration, education, the American justice system, healthcare, affirmative action, economic opportunity, and civil rights.
Please pass these Broward and Miami-Dade Voters’ Guides on to other tax-paying Caribbean-American SuperVoters.
For more information, call Dr. Marcia Magnus, Caribbean-American Politically Active Citizens, 954-454-7473.
