Welcome to

For months Florida voters have been receiving robo-calls from Governor Rick Scott boasting of his accomplishments. Now the tables have turned. A progressive political group is recording messages from voters and as Whitney Ray tells us, they plan to tie up the governor’s phone lines next week delivering the messages.

Some are short and too the point.

“Recall Rick Scott,” Recorded Lois G.

Others are sarcastic.

“You’re a great success… as a crook that is,” recorded Michael V.

All give Governor Rick Scott a low job approval rating.

“On a scale of one to 10, with one being very dissatisfied and 10 being extremely satisfied, I rate you with a minus 10,” Diane W. recorded.

The messages are from voters who visit the website PinkSlipRick.com. The site is run by Florida Watch Action, a progressive political group that’s been hounding the governor since his early days in office.

They organized this protest outside Scott’s office during session, after Scott proposed laying off thousands of state workers. And last week when the governor sold donuts at a Tampa bakery they handed him pink slips.

Now the group is motivated by Scott’s push to remake his image. Scott’s been robo-calling voters for months. The group wants to return the favor. They’re pre-recording messages online and plan to bombard the governor’s office with phone calls next week.

Governor Scott says the attacks don’t faze him.

“That’s what’s great about this country. We are making a real decision about what type of government we want,” said Scott.

Each recording on the website has a link for listeners to report an inappropriate message, but in this case what’s acceptable and what’s not may be in the ear of the beholder. The attacks come as Scott is beginning to find more favor with voters. A Quinnipiac Poll released Friday, shows Scott’s job approval rating has climbed from the high 20s to the mid 30s.
