Rep. Hazelle Rogers, D-Lauderhill, took aim at the event led by Pastor Terry Jones planned for Saturday where the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks will be marked by burning copies of the Quran.

I urge those individuals to reconsider their actions and statements.

U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, a Republican from Florida, spoke out about Iran on Wednesday and warned that other nations -- including Venezuela -- were backing that countrys nuclear ambitions. Iran continues to avoid basic inspections and stockpile enriched uranium, said Mack. These actions make it very clear that Iranremains a true threat to international stability and is determined to develop nuclear capability no matter what. And what is even more egregious is that nations such as Russia, Venezuela and Turkey continue to assist Iran in this dangerous goal.

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) launched an ad on Wednesday attacking Gov. Charlie Crist, who is running without party affiliation in the U.S. Senate race. The ad shows clips of a new ad from Crist and contrasts it with his comments from the past.

Following the lead of the Obama administration and Rep. Dwight Bullard of Miami, Florida Democrats commented on the event being led by Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville to burn Qurans to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
