@JimRosicaFL@FLSenateDems Happy Birthday from the First Wives Advocacy Group of Florida. We are grateful for all of your support fighting the dreaded alimony reform bill. 💪
@GwenGraham We raised 3 children on one income in the 80’s. Drove used cars, didn’t dine out. Maintained the grounds and home myself. Lived frugally. It was possible then, not impossible now but certainly more difficult.
@ChristinaPushaw@kylamb8 Not buying it and GOP women like the one in this recent picture explaining to a Washington correspondent why, after campaigning for DeSantis, she no longer supports him.
@PeterSchorschFL Why would anyone give up a career to raise a family in a traditional marriage? DeSantis doesn’t protect Florida divorced women from financial devastation. He’s a hypocrite!!
@theblaze “We want to be a country where we can raise a family on one sole income.” He ruined that when he signed SB 1416 Why would any 1 give up a career 2 raise a family in a traditional marriage? FL no longer protects older women after she’s been kicked to the curb 4 a younger model.
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

@BrendonLeslie When he turned his back on divorced, or soon to be divorced, women by signing the alimony reform bill, he sank even lower into the abyss.
@AdamAyman57 @BrendonLeslie DeSantis was underwater with women nationally. As of Friday, when he signed the alimony reform bill, he sank even further down into the abyss.
Izzy going down in court yesterday. Priceless. So proud of Murielle for STANDING up and telling the truth! @MsBlakeTaylor @lawandorder2023 @fiveash_camille
So much for “picking us off, one by one.” 💪💪
