WEST PALM BEACH – A group of concerned Caribbean-Americans in South Florida have developed this Voters’ Guide to help Caribbean-Americans choose the more appropriate candidates on the November 4th elections.
They recommend that you vote for the following candidates because they believe these candidates are more likely to promote the interests of Caribbean-American people in South Florida.
They have watched various political news programs, read local and national newspapers, attended town hall meetings, and consulted with local community leaders. They have assessed the candidates based on their positions on the economy, U.S. immigration policy, education, the American justice system, racial profiling, health care, Affirmative Action, gun control and hate crimes.
For more information, call Dr Magnus @ 954-454-7473.
