What we know:<\/p>\n
The Orlando-based personal injury attorney on Tuesday officially launched a contest to name his proposed third political party.<\/p>\n
“After running two very successful constitutional amendment campaigns, I’ve learned that once we drop the ‘D’ and the ‘R,’ most of us agree on most issues,” Morgan said in a news release. “The two-party system\u2014the extremes to the right and the extremes to the left–is freezing us up. What we need is a third political party that can compromise with the left and the right to provide real solutions to the people.”<\/p>\n
