<HR>
Big Sugar's influence and impact on Florida and its citizens are felt from the Panhandle to the Keys.  In the Sunshine State there is no more powerful lobbying force than Big Sugar.  The industry pollutes our water and air, stands in the way of Everglades restoration, makes us sick, and owns way too many Florida politicians.
Because last year’s Big Sugar Summit was so successful, we’re gathering once again to pull the curtain back on the sugar industry.  
Big Sugar Summit 2 on August 20 will take us deeper into the Big Sugar world and closer to our goal of cutting Big Sugar down to size.
