NPO: Why Florida Is a Victory

Article here. Excerpt:

'Some of our members think we lost when SB 668 in Florida, a good alimony and shared parenting bill, was vetoed by Republican Governor Rick Scott.

They are wrong. We simply took another step toward winning.

Here’s how you can tell when a social movement is on the road to victory:

1. The Legislature passed alimony reform and shared parenting not once, but twice by healthy margins.

2. Like most US men and women, Floridians overwhelmingly support shared parenting as the usual outcome if both parents are fit. They demonstrated this with thousands of emails, calls and letters in support of SB 668. Calls to the Governor’s office ran five to one in favor.'
