The Affordable Care Act is closing the gap

in prescription drug coverage, known as the “doughnut hole.”

Before Obama took office senior citizens

were paying thousands of dollars

out of their own pocket. Now, by 2020,

the hole will be closed.

Florida has some of the

highest immigration rates, especially among

Cubans and Latinos.

President Obama passed the DREAM Act,

which Romney has pledged to veto. We

are for keeping families

together and letting non-threatening immigrants stay, while

enforcing resources on

those who endanger our

country.
