What group or person has the money to put up billboards that slam Rick Scott?

It bugs the Hell out of me that Rick Scott has a bit of a lead against Bill Nelson at Real Clear Politics where they combine all the polls. I couldn't believe Rick Scott won the governorship twice. Now I fear he will win the Senate seat if we don't fight him as hard as we can.

I would love to see some well placed billboards like the ones for Devin Nunes

Some of the really bad things he did:

He refused to expand Medicaid - that translates to many unnecessary deaths of Floridians. Florida ranks 48 in health care after his two terms.

He has an A+ rating with the NRA

He was convicted of the largest Medicare Fraud ever. His company had to pay back 1.7 billion dollars

He increased his net worth by 46 million dollars while he was governor. And it looks like he made governmental decisions to help his own investments

I hope other Floridians do too. People need to realize that, even though it is FL if we lose this race that is another Rethug Senator we have to deal with. That's not OK in any sense.

Low Cost and so gratifying the feedback for people who participate: Thousands of honking(i.e. clapping) horns of support from rush hour drivers below. It even gets on the local news in SoSoCa! (where anti Repug reporting is way rarer than it should be)
