Need Help - Anyone with Lexus/Nexus ???

[Dirty Hippie]

(Also posted in Florida State Forum but again here for more exposure)

A local candidate in Tallahassee is being opposed by none other than the son of Carole Griffin.

She ran for U.S. Representative from Florida 2nd District in 1994.

Her son John ran her campaign.

I remember her as a rabid right-wing gay-bashing extremist.

I would like to expose her son in a LTTE but I cannot find much on the internet (too old I assume)

Can anyone look up articles on Lexus Nexus and send them to me so I can base by letter on facts?

Thanks!!!!!
