Kudos to the Florida GLBT Democratic Caucus. They recently wrapped up their summer conference. This Houston Voice article quotes group president Michael Albetta (pictured left) on the decision not to invite Senator Bill Nelson to the event:

"time and time again" Nelson declined invitations to the group's events, sometimes instead sending aides who will only talk in private rather than publicly address the group.

"I find that insulting, however, we will definitely put our banner behind him and we will vote for him and make sure he is the next United States senator," Albetta said. "Then I will address him and tell him 'This is what you need to do.'"

The conference got excellent media coverage. Check out these other articles covering the event: Tallahassee Democrat, Herald Tribune, Bradenton Herald, Tampa Tribune, St. Pete Times, Bay News 9, and the Express Gay News
