HisNoseGrows.Com Launched Responding To Atwater's False Claims

NEWS FROM THE FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY


The Florida Democratic Party has launched www.HisNoseGrows.com today, which highlights Jeff Atwater's attempts to run away from the truth as he tries to hide from his record of being puppet of the big insurance companies.

"Floridians are wondering why Jeff Atwater's nose keeps growing ever time his mouth is moving. In the Senate, Atwater has been a puppet for Big Insurance. He fought to make it easier for insurance companies to deny claims and then he allowed the same insurance companies to raise rates by 71.5%. Now Atwater's special interest friends are bankrolling his campaign to help him hide from his failed record. While Atwater tries to run from his party, and his record, we'll make certain voters know he can't run away from the truth," said Florida Democratic Party spokesman Eric Jotkoff.

The new website www.hisnosegrows.com, builds upon efforts to dispute the presumptive Senate President's false claims and expose his special interest ways. Earlier, the Florida Democratic Party launched Senatorjoke.com, awarding Atwater the "Best Insurance Hypocrite" award. Both website allows voters to click-through and find links to online records, news articles, and testimonials that will allow them to check the record for themselves.
