FL: Whig Party Fielding Five Candidates for Congress

From ABC Action News:
TAMPA, FL—The Whig Party seal reads “Acta Non Verba” or, actions not words.  Paul Truesdell, leader of the Florida Whigs boils his party down to this; "True state's rights, true individual rights, and true respect for the Constitution of the United States."  Truesdell claims they're the same principles which governed the Whigs of the 1800's . . . 
But now, five U.S. congressional candidates are attempting to revive the Whig party in Florida.  Craig Porter of Miami, running in Florida’s 25th District, is the first Whig to qualify on a federal ballot in a century and a half. . . . Truesdell says he and his fellow Whigs have been just as disillusioned with the Bush presidency as well as the Obama administration.
