September 15 REC Meeting

A big thank you to our members, Bette Anne Starkey, Sue Varey and Claire Jones for providing the following information from last night’s meeting.

1. Ellen Bogdanoff spoke to thank everyone and encourage all Republicans to support those who won in the primaries.

2. The guest speaker was Adam Putnam, Republican candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture. He emphasized the need to support the whole Republican slate which is pro-entrepreneurial, pro-small business and pro-capitalism. He warned that our greatest enemy is complacency.

3. Mark Hoch asked for volunteers to organize groups to walk the precincts. In the near future he will be providing bios and literature on all our candidates, as well as current voter information. He’s also looking for someone with computer skills to organize those who volunteered for poll watching.. contact him at 561-686-1616 if you can help.
It was asked if there is a list of candidates endorsed by the REC. There is not, but it was suggested that one could follow Jack Furnari’s voter’s guide.

4. Guests were introduced.

5. Nineteen new REC members were sworn in, including several from the new Haitian-American Republican Club.  Our own VP John Jamason and John and Virginia Brooks were also elected.  We are well represented – keep joining Club!

Crossing the Delaware

Win, lose or draw, Mike Castle was always heading into the Delaware Republican primary as a member of an endangered species. Conservative big game hunters like to call them “RINOs.”

The Republican Party of Florida Unites and Welcomes Rick Scott and Jennifer Carroll

As Republicans after the Primaries, we are united and committed to getting every Republican Elected on the ticket.  To answer concerns from loyal McCollum supporters about Rick Scott , here are the talking points to share:

1.  Reapportionment-  The Senate and House will receive census numbers in 2011.  Based on the information, district boundaries will be created.  If we have a Democratic Governor, she will veto the bill THREE times.  After the third VETO, districting then becomes a JUDICIAL responsibility.
2. Tort Reform means JOBS.  When we set the rules to eliminate frivolous lawsuits, we increase businesses desire to come to Florida as well as reduce the liability and cost of doing business in our state.
3. Appointments – The Governor’s office is responsible for over 1,000 appointments – not just judicial appointments.
4. Education – Education reform needs to continue so that our ONLY focus is the STUDENT.
5. Obamacare – we need a Governor who will support our lawsuit to protect Floridians from the intrusion of our 10^th Amendment rights.

For the Victory Dinner Speakers included Gov. Haley Barbour, Speaker Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and Sen. George LeMeiux.   At the end of the meeting, Sen. and Chairman Thrasher announced the party had raised $2 Million dollars to help our candidates.

Sharon Day and Bernard Sansaricq Highlight 8/25 Club Lunch

On Wednesday 8/25, the “day after” the primary election, the monthly RCPB lunch featured Republican National Committee Secretary Sharon Day, and District 23 Congressional Candidate Bernard Sansaricq.

Sharon, one of the first of Florida’s leading Republicans to warmly congratulate Rick Scott on his victory yesterday, spoke of Republican unity after the divisive primary election cycle. She acknowledged the difficulties caused by the excessive zeal of some party leaders who crossed the line in supporting “their” candidates in the primary, and stated that if a leader feels they must advocate for one candidate over another in a primary, they should step down as leaders for the duration. This advice was for local leaders as well as those at the state level, and she acknowledged in answer to a question that RPOF funding 527s to attack local Republican candidates was wrong and needs to stop.

She even referred obliquely to the John Thrasher letter attacking Rick Scott as not appropriate. It is time, she said, for Florida Republicans now to unite behind our slate of candidates. (Editors note: As of this writing, Bill McCollum still has not agreed to support his victorious opponent).

Bernard Sansaricq, introduced by Peter Feaman, gave a rousing speech laying out his plans to defeat Alcee Hastings in District 23 by rallying the Republicans and Independents, and appealing to the Caribbean community in that district to rally around one of their own. As past President of the Haitian Senate, he understands very well the effects of the Clinton invasion of that country and described how Democrats in the US have enriched themselves at Haiti’s expense. As a perfect example of a Republican Champion from a minority community, he needs our support in the upcoming election battles.

Here’s a few pictures from the event:

Marco Rubio Visits Victory Center

Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for US Senate (Florida), made an appearance August 12 at the Palm Beach County Republican Victory Center in WPB. He was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd including local candidates who joined him for his Phone Bank Kick Off.

The “rising star” of the Republican Party was introduced by Sid Dinerstein, County GOP chairman. Marco spoke to us among other things about limited government and personal responsibilities. He mentioned his parents, who left Cuba’s communism, and took advantage of the opportunities offered in this land of freedom. They worked hard to assure him an education and a better life. He thanked all of us present at this event.

After his speech, Marco gave us of his time to have photos with him.

Medicare’s chief actuary vs Obama on ObamaCare facts

One problem: That spin ignores the extraordinary companion analysis by chief Medicare actuary Richard Foster that repudiates this conclusion and is the most damning fiscal indictment to date of the Affordable Care Act.

Fill out your address and then when you get to the screen that lists your options, click on ‘view sample ballot’, put in your party affiliation and it will bring up your ballot and polling place.

Remember – even if you aren’t registered in a political party (eg you’re NPA) – you still may have items on the ballot – Judges, School Board, etc. Please take the time to check and make sure. Every vote counts!
