Jimmy Buffett recently recorded a video at his home in Florida, expressing his support for two amendments on the ballot next Tuesday in the state of Florida.

Amendment 1 is known as the Florida Water and Land Conservation Initiative, and Amendment 2 is the Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative.

Buffett describes his support for both initiatives in the video below. With amendment 2, Buffett talks about how using medical marijuana helped him recover from his injuries after the stage fall in Australia.

On Wednesday night in Tallahassee, Jimmy Buffett performed for 1,500 in an effort to rally voters for congressional candidate Gwen Graham.

Gwen Graham’s closing statement to the voters of the 2nd Congressional District begins with Jimmy Buffett. The quintessential Floridian, as one Parrothead described him, entertained about 1,500 people Wednesday at a get-out-the vote rally held in a Tallahassee nightclub.

“Politics and music, my two favorite things,” whooped Marty Monroe, a Tallahassee resident, before Buffett took the stage. “Jimmy Buffett’s commitment to the environment is my kind of politics.”

Gwen Graham and incumbent Congressman Steve Southerland, R-Panama City, are engaged in a tight race. That both parties think they can win the seat is evident by a reported flood of $7-million in outside money inundating voters with broadcast commercials, mailings and knocks on the door.

More details are now available on Jimmy Buffett’s get-out-the-vote rally for congressional candidate Gwen Graham.

Florida’s beach bum poet laureate Jimmy Buffett will croon some of his sun-burned classics during a Get Out the Vote rally starting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at The Moon, 1105 E. Lafayette St.

It’s a political gig, so Republican ParrotHeads will have to put aside their partisanship beliefs if they want to hear “Margaritaville.” Buffett, who is good friends with former Florida Gov. and Sen. Bob Graham, is stumping for Graham’s daughter, Gwen Graham, in her race for congress. Gov. Graham will be on hand for the show.

The free tickets to the Buffett bash are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at Graham’s Tallahassee offices at 1584 Metropolitan Blvd., Suite 102 and at 2130 N. Lake Bradford Road. For more information, call 407-721-1300.
