Wellington Chapter’s April Meeting Focused on Voter Fraud
We had an outstanding meeting of the Wellington Chapter on the 9th of April, as well as a delicious buffet. The speaker, Mark Hoch, has 16 years of experience as Political Director with the Republican Party of Palm Beach County. His subject matter was on “VOTER FRAUD” and after speaking on the topic for approximately 25 minutes, we opened up for Q & A . This was an extraordinarily informative talk. Not only did we leave later than normal; small groups of 3,4,and 5 continued the discussion after the meeting was over.. This indeed was a passionate meeting for all that were there.
And thanks for attending.

Tax Day Tea Party Rocks Wellington
On a bright sunny afternoon in the beautiful Wellington Amphitheatre, an exuberant crowd sat on the astroturf and took in the sounds of LEVEL, and the stirring words of Allen West, Dick Morris, Anita MonCrief and many others.
The Tea Party is alive and well and ready to engage in – as some would say, “.. the most important election of our lifetime…”
The event drew a good size crowd, from tea party and 912 “regulars” to members of the “other side” who lined the back of the field with posters critical of some of the speakers and themes. The protest was peaceful though and even these folks seemed to enjoy themselves.
A lot of local candidates, from Congress down to School Board were in the audience, their teams fanning out to collect hundreds of signed nominating petitions, and most with whom we spoke thought the event was very productive for them.
The speakers covered the bases, some with some new food for thought. MC Brian Mudd from WJNO gave one of the most unusual but highly positive introductions of Congressman Colonel Allen West I have heard, alluding to his national appeal. The Congressman laid out the dangers of another four years of Barack Obama, and assured him (are you listening Mr. President?) that he would most assuredly be voting against the “Buffet Rule” this week.
Anita Montcrief told her tale of finding corruption at the highest levels of ACORN, and then laid out the more current conspiracy between that organization in its new form and the Justice Department to overturn voter ID laws across the country.
Dick Morris, a recent passenger on the Romney train, speculated that Mitt Romney would be one of the best Presidents in history. He asked for a show of hands for “who is more conservative now after 3 years of Obama?” and after seeing an overwhelming yes, tried to convince us that Mitt is too. He also told of the dangers of another Obama term, but suggested that his re-election was definitely not assured.
All in all, a pleasant and stirring day and a good kickoff to the 2012 electoral season.

Obama machine working on voter registration
Today I came across 3 people in Jupiter Walmart’s parking lot asking people to register to vote. They were nice, polite and at first I had no clue they came from the Obama machine (Acorn maybe). Then I saw the famous Obama symbol on sign that I could see through one of their see through bags.
I am making this comment because I would like to see “us” do same. Place people everywhere to get people to register to vote and at the same time pass out important comparisons between Obama and Romney.
I just had surgery, so I am not much useful and will head back north in 2 weeks from where I will work the election.
thanks for listening to me.
May 1st Boca Raton Chapter Meeting with Blaise Ingoglia!
Republican Party of Florida Vice Chairman Blaise Ingoglia will address the Boca Chapter on May 1st. Ingoglia is a Hernando County entrepreneur and rising star in local and state Republican Party politics. He is behind Government Gone Wild, a series of Web videos, seminars and blogs. The approach, says Ingoglia, shows people how bad the issue really is. A recent video Ingoglia produced through Government Gone Wild — “Brother, Can You Spare a Trillion?” — is a YouTube hit. The video has now surpassed 5.14 million views. “The reason why this resonates with people is it melds satire and motivational speaking in a political atmosphere,” says Ingoglia. “The problem when politicians start talking about budgets and finance is people’s eyes start to roll to the back of their heads in boredom.” He emphasizes the debt problem is bipartisan. He also weaves satire into the presentations. “The government,” Ingoglia told the Sarasota crowd last year, “has turned into that person who is always asking you for money.”
Blaise Ingoglia aims to break down the federal government’s massive debt problems into easily understandable chunks in his videos and seminars.
Ingoglia says he researches and verifies all of his data from online sources, mostly government data websites. Here are some of Ingoglia’s eye-popping nuggets when it comes to debt and spending abuse:
• The federal government will pay $1.9 million per minute of debt for the next 10 years.
• At the current pace, by 2046 every dime collected by the government in taxes will go to pay off debt.
• The federal government has spent $8 trillion in interest payments on its debt since 1988. “A lot of that is going to other countries,” says Ingoglia, “making them prosperous, not us.”
• The government spent $1.5 million of federal stimulus money to spruce up apartments. Problem is, those apartments were scheduled for demolition.
• The U.S. Department of Energy could save $2.2 million if it turned off lights and used more efficient energy sources, says Ingoglia, citing a U.S. Government Accountability Office study.
• The government spent $712,000 of federal stimulus money on joke-telling software. “Why do we need joke-telling software,” asks Ingoglia on a Government Gone Wild video, “when we already have Congress?”
