Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I am in the process of being replaced at my job and it only seems a matter of time before I am let go outright. It has recently come to my attention (from my Supervisor) that the President of the company encouraged my Supervisor to lie on my annual performance review, making my performance scores lower so as to make my eventual removal appear more plausible and a result of poor job performance. My Supervisor did not comply with this request, and it is my understanding that a performance review was never turned in.

Once let go, do I have any legal couse of action?

Probably not. Florida is a right to work state. You can be fired without cause, unless prohibited by a federal statute (age, race, religious, sex discrimination). Florida is not an employee friendly place to live.
