NRCC Announces Allen West is “On the Radar”

At the REC (Republican Executive Committee) meeting tonight, Chairman Sid Dinerstein reported that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) had announced LTC Allen West as an “On the Radar” candidate. This is the first step of its Young Guns program. The Young Guns program assist U.S. House candidates during their elections.
A quote from the allenwestforcongress.com website: “The NRCC is committed to working with Allen West as he continues to meet the rigorous goals of the Young Guns program,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions. “With all that Allen West has accomplished in just a few short months, I am confident that he will be successful in his effort to win this seat for Republicans and keep the Democrats accountable for their reckless anti-jobs agenda.”

Allen West was greeted by the REC members with a standing applause. West acknowledged he has been recognized not only by the NRCC and over 2 million hits on YouTube but by the the other side. SEIU and ACORN will be getting involved. It’s time to stop being a cheerleader and to join the fight. LTC Allen quoted Plato, “Those who refuse to engage in politics will ruled by their inferiors.”

RPOF in Turmoil

Under pressure for immediately favoring Gov Crist over Marco Rubio in the US Senate primary race and alleged mismanagement of party finances, on Jan. 5, 2010, Chairman of the Republican Party of FL, Jim Greer announced his resignation effective Feb. 20. On Jan. 8, Vice Chair Allen Cox also resigned from his position.

At tonight’s REC meeting, Sid Dinerstein announced that there are some calling for the Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer to also resign.

Chairman Dinerstein said the RPOF is an embarrassment. RPOF Executive Director Delmar Johnson was receiving $400,000+ salary, three times more than the Governor’s pay. Greer and Johnson had made a secret contract. Not to mention, RPOF chartered a plane to D.C. for Senator LeMieux’s swearing in ceremony at the tune of $15,000.

Next week, at the RPOF executive committee meeting in Orlando, State Committee Woman Sharon Day or State Senator John Thrasher will be voted as a replacement to Jim Greer.

It should be an interesting meeting. If you are interested in attending, please contact Fran Hancock or Peter Feaman.

Joe Budd Endorses Ed Lynch

February, 10 at the REC (Republican Executive Committee) of PBC meeting, former candidate Joe Budd announced that his one mistake during his campaign for US House #19, was saying he would not support Ed Lynch if he won. Budd said he could not support Jim McCormick and therefore would give his support to Lynch.
Lynch thanked the REC for their support and encouraged each member to become involved in the campaign. Chairman Sid Dinerstein announced the Republican Party of PBC will take over the absentee voter follow up. He explained that many voters are unaware if they requested an absentee ballot in 2008, they will receive an absentee ballot for the April 13th election. Charlotte Beasley volunteered to chair this committee. Phone calls, chase mailers and walks will be needed. Please contact Ed Lynch’s campaign to volunteer.

Elaine Chao gives the best explanation I’ve heard yet why there is no job growth (hint: has to do with the Progressive Agenda)

Grassroots training from the Nat’l Teaparty Convention

Many of you may have heard that there was a convention in Nashville this weekend – not trying to form a single Teaparty organization or political party, but bringing together a subset of groups from across the country to discuss and agree on a series of items. Portions of the event were televised on C-SPAN, and are available for viewing online.

This is an opportunity to get some grassroots training – so check it out!

CD 19 Results

Ted Deutch is the winner for the Democrats with a 4:1 vote margin over Ben Graber.

In the Republican race, the vote was so close that a recall was expected, but a vote adjustment in Palm Beach County put Ed Lynch over the 0.5% margin and Joe Budd conceded.

The counts provided by the Supervisors of Election in Palm Beach and Broward Counties are as follows:

Turnout for this election was very light. In a district with 344,912 eligible voters, 36,278 people voted – that’s 10.5%. If you compare the parties, Democrats had the edge in turnout with 28,118 voting out of about 234228 or 12%, while 8160 Republicans voted out of about 110684 or 7%. Since a Republican win would need a big percentage of that party’s voters going to the polls, the lack of interest in the primary does not bode well.

Palm Beach Post Endorses Ted Deutch (Oh – and Joe Budd too)

In the typically insulting way that the Palm Beach Post treats conservatives everywhere, the primary endorsement of the editorial board starts:

“After the party’s upset Senate victory in Massachusetts, Republicans got so giddy as to wonder whether — even though party registration is 2-to-1 against them — they could win the congressional seat held since 1996 by Democrat Robert Wexler.

Unfortunately for the GOP, the two best candidates in Tuesday’s primary are Democrats. Among the three Republicans, by process of elimination, The Post recommends Joe Budd.”

What do you think of Florida’s new High Speed Rail?

 

 

 

Here are some facts (as found on google and calculated) 

$1,250,000,000.00      Hi Speed Rail System
330    Miles between Orlando and Tampa, Orlando and Miami (via Cocoa Beach)
$3,787,878.79   Cost per Mile
18,300,000   Florida’s Population in 2009
$68.31 Cost Per Resident
80,000,000 Est. Annual Visitors
$15.63  Cost Per Visitor

Donna from Manatee County sends the Donna from Manatee asked the following:

Do you remember?

In 2004 The state of Florida asked the citizens to vote on whether not to fund the proposed high speed rail project that the President Obama plans on implementing on our behalf.

WE REPEALED THE PROJECT AND DENIED THE STATE OF FLORIDA THE FUNDS FROM THE TAX PAYER TO BUILD THE PROJECT!

THIS IS THE LAW OF FLORIDA.  Please go to the following Florida state website to see the actual outcome.

http://election.dos.state.fl.us/initiatives/initdetail.asp?account=34876&seqnum=2

If Governor Crist accepts the federal funding to start the project, he is – without authority of the citizens – superseding the 4,519,423 voters ( in a landslide – 64% of Florida) who repealed the law.

What legal authority does he have?  Do you know?  I would like to know why would we vote if our leaders can ignore us?
