January 1, New Bill Would Eliminate Democratic Party in Florida

Published

on

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1807: Congress bans the slave trade within the U.S., effective January 1, 1808.

A Florida state lawmaker proposed a bill that would “cancel” the Sunshine State’s Democratic Party.

On Tuesday, state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia (R) filed “The Ultimate Cancel Act” (SB 1248). The bill would “immediately cancel” the filings of any political party that had “previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.”

If approved, “The Ultimate Cancel Act” would require Florida officials to notify registered voters that their party had been “canceled.” Additionally, the individual’s voter registration would be changed to “no party affiliation.” State officials would then “provide procedures” for affected voters to change their affiliation to “an active political party.”

Under the bill, any canceled political party could re-register with the Florida Department of State. However, the party would have to change its name to something “substantially different from the name of any other party previously registered.”

Ingoglia issued a press release, noting that Democrats and “leftist activists” had “been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past.”

“Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason,” Ingoglia said. “Some people want to have ‘uncomfortable conversations’ about certain subjects. Let’s have those conversations.”

The Democratic Party supported slavery through the early and mid-1800’s, according to NBC News.

The Florida Democratic Party dismissed the proposed legislation as a “publicity stunt.”

“Presenting a bill that would disenfranchise 5 million voters is both unconstitutional and unserious. Under Ron DeSantis, Senator Ingoglia is using his office to push bills that are nothing more than publicity stunts instead of focusing on the issues that matter most to Floridians,” the party said in a statement to NBC News.

Ingoglia addressed Nikki Fried, the chair of the state’s Democratic Party, in a tweet.

“Florida Dems should be thankful I’m not asking them to return all the money they’ve raised previously from their Jefferson/Jackson Dinners,” Ingoglia tweeted, referencing the party’s annual fundraisers that were named after former Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

Great idea, wish I’d thought of it.

I think they should do away with both parties. Then maybe people would be forced to really focus on the person their voting for and not the parties!

Lets be/get real for a minute. Stuff like this only happens in fairy tales and Hollywood movies ok.
Its always been said and now we can confirm it by all the revelations that have been going on.
The Republican Party serves at the wishes of the Democratic Party. That’s all that needs to be said.

NOW THERE IS A GOOD THOUGHT. BUT AS CORRUPT DEMOCRATS ARE, MANY PEOPLE ARE BLIND TO SEE THIS.BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT BECAME REALITY. IT SHOULD HAPPEN ALL OVER THE USA.

While you are doing this, also take democrats in every city & state in the United States with you so we can get rid of their sickness!!

Republicans are too afraid of losing so by eliminating the Democratic Party they won’t have to worry about it

Bill

Margie

Great idea! That way we can save America from the corruptness the Democrat Party has placed on our country with its evil policies. America needs to return to God.

Keep your imaginary “God” to yourself!

I’m a Republican but DO NOT support any such action from anyone. It irks me when Republicans act no better than Democrats. Why would you give all the power to one party? You won’t like it any better when all the bible thumping Republicans take over. This is nothing to be proud of or to support! Disgusted.
