MIAMI – As a group of concerned Caribbean-Americans in South Florida, Caribbean-American Politically Active Citizens (CPAC)has developed this Voters’ Guide to help you choose the more appropriate candidates for this Special election on May 24, 2011.
CPAC recommend that you vote for the following candidates because they believe they are more likely to promote the interests of Caribbean-American people in South Florida.
We have watched various political news programs, scoured local and national newspapers, and consulted with local community leaders. We have assessed the candidates based on their positions on the economy, U.S. immigration policy, education, the American justice system, racial profiling, health care, gun control and hate crimes.
