Florida Prepaid College Program has been the top advertiser at Huffingtonpost.com at least for Florida visitors during the past two weeks. Why is Florida Governor Rick Scott allowing citizens' dollars to be spent on leftist propaganda?
HuffPost mocks and lies about conservative politics, berates President Trump, calls American military racists, fundraises for CAIR, defends the Muslim Brotherhood and publishes Islamist propaganda. More information regarding Huffington Post’s propaganda articles are posted at the bottom of this article.
Florida Family Association sent numerous emails to Florida Prepaid College Program officials and board members to express concern regarding its advertising at HuffPost. There has been no response except Florida Prepaid College Program continues to advertise.
Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to encourage Florida Prepaid College Program officials including Governor Rick Scott to stop supporting the Huffington Post’s propaganda with citizens' dollars.
