Bill Clinton to Speak at FDP Leadership's Blue Dinner

Former president Bill Clinton will be heading to Florida in June; he will be the keynote speaker at this year's Jefferson Jackson dinner in Hollywood on June 28.

In an email sent Monday, Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant explained Democrats "needed" to hear Clinton's message.

"You know how high the stakes are," she wrote. "Rick Scott is selling Florida to the highest bidder. He thinks the best way to grow the economy is to give corporations bigger and bigger handouts. The middle class gets squeezed, but guys like Rick Scott dont feel a thing.

"Ive seen what Florida Democrats can achieve. With President Clinton on our team, we can defeat tea party Republicans like Rick Scott and elect Democrats who will work to grow the economy from themiddle class out -- not from the top down."
