Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much for reaching out and offering your help for Sen. Bill Nelson. Florida is a key battleground state, and we need supporters like you energizing and mobilizing the community. 
Here are a few ways you can volunteer:

o    You can sign up with the Florida Democratic Party to receive emails on volunteer opportunities here:


o    You can also sign up with your county's volunteer events here:


o    Here is another link with events in or near your ZIP code:


As for your question about our position on factory meat farms, here is our official platform.
For convenience's sake, though, here are some summary points of our party's position on protecting the environment:

o    Democrats share a deep commitment to tackling the climate challenge, which includes reducing Green House Gas emissions such as methane
o    Democrats believe that climate change is too important to wait for climate deniers and defeatists in Congress to start listening to science, and support using every tool available to reduce emissions now. 
o    We need to make our existing infrastructure safer and cleaner and build the new infrastructure necessary to power our clean energy future.

While our official platform may not mention factory meat farms specifically, please know that we prioritize protecting our environment in all sectors. 
If you have more questions, comments, or concerns regarding our party platform or more volunteer opportunities, please let me know. 

Best,

Jessica

Fellow Americans,

    I am in the middle of the most important Senate race, Florida incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson facing off against Republican Governor Rick Scott.
    Of interest is the red tide/alga problem the south Gulf coast, and the problem is getting worse. 
Now, obviously we know Republicans have ties to corporation and also tend to oppose environment.
    On Aug. 25th, I attend animal rights march in Fort Myers.  I learned Buckingham slaughterhouse runoff into the river, then into the Gulf and contributes to red tide/alga.
    What is your official position on factory farm meat.  I have been flexitarian since May, 1992.  I watch what I eat!  We know eating less meat (that is, not eating meat three meals a day, unless prescribed by physician) is beneficial both our health and the planet's health.
    

What can I do to help?
