Dear FFASA Supporter,
Giving life to a grassroots organization is hard work. But when
the cause you believe in is fair, just, and can positively affect
the quality of live of every citizen in the State of Florida, it
generates a passion that transcends obstacles. FFASA's success lies
on its core message -- high prosecutor turnover is an issue of
public safety. With that message in mind, FFASA's mission is
twofold -- to create public awareness and to engage legislators in
Tallahassee.
FFASA continues its efforts to keep the issue of prosecutor
turnover in the front burner by engaging the media and we continue
to reach out to business leaders and community organizations. FFASA
proudly welcomes AutoNation Inc. as a Lifetime Donor and thanks the
Kiwanis Club of Oakland Park/Coral Ridge for hosting a FFASA
presentation in August.
FFASA is all about bringing organizations together in order to
strengthen our message. The support of the Broward County Crime
Commission and the League of Prosecutors are examples of this
effort. On September 9, 2006, FFASA mailed to State Attorney Bruce
Colton, President of the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association
(FPAA), an invitation to support FFASA's efforts. We also sent
invitations to each of the State Attorneys in Florida. Securing the
support of the FPAA is a natural step for an organization that
already counts with the membership and subscription of hundreds of
prosecutors thought the state.
A link to a message from State Attorney Katherine
Fernandez-Rundle, State Attorney for the 11th Judicial Circuit, is
featured in this edition. Please note that the references mentioned
in Ms. Fernandez- Rundle's message are articles that were the
product of FFASA's efforts. The conversation we initiated is now
taking a life of its own!
I personally thank the dozens of supporters who have taken the
time to acknowledge our efforts. Your letters, e-mails, and
financial support fuel our commitment. If you care about the safety
of your family, your quality of life, and if you understand that a
healthy criminal justice system is the foundation of public safety,
I invite you to join FFASA today.
Let's Stand Up Against High Prosecutor Turnover In
Florida!
