Standing with Ukraine

Today we are praying for strength, resolve, and ultimately peace for the people of Ukraine {NAME}, Today we are praying for strength, resolve, and ultimately peace for the people of Ukraine and her allies, including the United States. A free, democratic Ukraine is being attacked by one man, Vladimir Putin, and the military of Russia operating under his command. This was not totally unexpected, but it is totally unprovoked. It's what happens when an authoritarian senses weakness and opportunity, in democracy, in public opinion, and through his recent history, lack of swift, damning economic or more forceful consequences. That's why today I'm calling on our leaders in Florida to send an unambiguous message to Vladimir Putin, that the democracy-loving people of Florida condemn this act of war. We do not respect him. We do not fear him. We oppose all aggression against democracy anywhere. We will send this message, hopefully, through bipartisan Cabinet and Legislative resolutions. Some may not think this is important work for elected officials in Florida, but it is. Because if you respect or bow to Putin, then that sends a message to Maduro, Ortega, or Castro and Díaz-Canel, and any other authoritarian government or dictator Floridians have fled. We must be clear. Florida does not respect authoritarians who steal from, abuse, and silence their people — or attack democracies outside their own borders. We will always stand with and for democracy. May God bless and protect democracy. — Nikki Political advertisement paid for and approved by Nikki Fried, Democrat, for Governor Nikki Fried for Governor 6619 S Dixie Hwy No. 148 Miami, FL 33143 United States If you believe you received this message in error or wish to no longer receive email from us, please [unsubscribe](.
