Your voice is needed at one of the four upcoming historic hearings of the 2017-2018 Florida Constitutional Revision Commission (CRC)!

The CRC recently completed its committee work. It narrowed down the number of proposed amendments from an initial 1,000 proposals by the public to 100 undertaken by members of the CRC with 37 currently approved by their committees.

The next phase of the CRC is a second round of public hearings. Those hearings are currently scheduled in Melbourne on 2/19, Jacksonville on 2/20, Pensacola on 2/27, and St. Petersburg on 3/13. Details on these locations can be found below.

The first public hearing in this second round of CRC hearings occurred this past week in Fort Lauderdale, one of the most liberal cities in the state. The forum was packed with what appeared to be 500-600 people who were very hostile to life, parental rights and school choice. During the hearing, opponents were very rude, disruptive and did not respect the Chairman’s repeated requests to be civil and to not cheer, clap, or otherwise disrupt the forum or another speaker’s time.

Citizens who support life, parental rights, life and school choice need to attend these upcoming hearings and present better, respectful, more persuasive (not to mention truthful) arguments to this historic commission!

The CRC sponsor of the Florida Privacy Restoration Act, John Stemberger, had his Op Ed posted in the online version of the Orlando Sentinel today! Please take a moment to read why Mr. Stemberger is sponsoring this very important amendment!

It's intellectually dishonest for the ACLU to claim that the proposed privacy amendment would “regulate abortion out of existence," says John Stemberger, the sponsor of the Florida Privacy Protection Act.

The Florida Constitution Revision Commission picked up proposal 700698 "The Florida Privacy Restoration Act" by former Florida Supreme Court Justice Ken Bell during a full meeting of the Commission yesterday!

Public input is critical to the CRC process. Although the deadline to submit public proposals has passed, we encourage Floridians to continue sharing ideas and feedback with Commissioners.
