Where in the
World was Alcee
Hastings?
When I announced
my Ray Torres Sanchez for Congress Candidacy for
Florida’s 23rd Congressional District seat, a Palm Beach
Post news article reported Hastings’ top aide, Mr. Fred
Turner stating Alcee Hastings would campaign in
2008 ..."on
his Record".
Well then, let’s
closely examine just a partial list of Hastings’
"Record" to
see if we can find any clues as to where Alcee
was...when other Congressional Members were busy voting
to protect you, your family’s interests and the United
States of America.
NOTE: The list below is by general
title heading without specific reference to act, bill,
resolution, amendment etc.
