House Passes Gun Control HR-8 with help from Florida Republicans
The far left which currently controls our federal government, is coming after your guns. See: “A look at Democrats HR-8 Universal Background Checks Bill“.
The first step on this road is House bill HR-8, which mandates “universal background checks” and much more that is troubling. Passed 227-203, eight “Republicans” joined all but 1 Democrat in passage. Three of these eight were from Florida, and have been placed on our “RINO WATCH”:
- Vern Buchanan – CD16 (Sarasota and Manatee counties)
- Carlos Gimenez – CD26 (Monroe County)
- Maria Salazar – CD27 (Miami Dade)
It should be noted that Gimenez, as well as Mario Diaz Balart (CD25 Miami-Dade, Collier) already had the “RINO Watch” distinction for their vote to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments.
Our own Congressman Brian Mast (CD18) voted against this infringement on the second amendment, (see: “Mast Reverses Position on Background Checks” ) and so far has a perfect score on our 9 bill “RINO Watch” list.
For Brian’s explanation of his vote on HR-8, see: Rep. Mast on HR-8
For our current watchlist, see: RINO-WATCH
Regular Monthly Meetings to be Suspended
Dear Palm Beach County Tea Party Patriots:
Palm Beach County Tea Party has been a leading conservative force in the area since 2011, and prior to that so was the South Florida Tea Party formed in 2009. Leadership has changed over time, but original members remain active in many ways in the community. I have been President since 2011.
Barbara and I have contemplated slowing down for some time, and trying to get our younger members to increase their visibility, but with very few exceptions this effort has not been successful. Much of our focus in 2020 was on the November election, hindered a great deal by Covid.
We will continue to have meetings as needed, but not regularly scheduled monthly meetings. We have contacted many of our current officials and invited them to join us in person or where possible by Zoom.
We will always continue to support our conservative candidates.
We will always support Donald Trump and the Constitution.
We will always honor G-D and our Flag.
Palm Beach County Tea Party has had many successful years and hopefully with your continued support, activism and Patriotism we will have better years to come.
Thanks to all of you Palm Beach County Tea Party Patriots!
Love,
Mel and Barbara Grossman

A Message to our Members
To our members:
As you know, the Palm Beach County Tea Party has not had a meeting since Dennis Michael Lynch in March. The impact of the Corona Virus was being felt in Palm Beach County in mid March, and even though there were no official shutdowns at that time, we thought it best to postpone our April 6th Gene Ho meeting until later in the year, and the May meeting with K. Carl Smith. As it looks now, we will not have meetings in June or July, but hope to start back up in August with John DiLemme, followed by Gene Ho in September.
There is reason for some optimism however. Our county, along with most of the state is now in the “Phase 1” recovery category as set by the Federal Government and instituted by Governor DeSantis. Restaurants have reopened for inside dining with reduced capacity, as have retail stores and salons, and most of the county and state parks. Today the beaches are opening and restaurants can operate at 50% capacity.
The practice of “social distancing” by most residents, restrictions on access to assisted living centers and nursing homes, and the practice of common sense mitigation methods has made Florida an example of what a well run state can accomplish. While the virus continues to claim victims, rates of both hospitalization and death in PBC have been declining for some time and it now stands at 4524 cases and 275 deaths. For the state as a whole, the virus is only claiming about 10% of the available hospital beds and it is clear that we have “flattened the curve”.
During this difficult time, we hope you and yours are staying safe, keeping your distance, and managing to live life as near normal as is possible. It is not likely that we will be free of these challenges for some time to come, but with proper precautions and common sense, life goes on.
If there is anything we can do to assist you in any way during this period, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Stay safe!
The Palm Beach County Tea Party.
The Best is Yet to Come!

His latest project is “TEAM DML”, an ad-free social platform for Independents and Conservatives. In other words, an alternative to Facebook. with nearly 3,000 members and growing, TeamDML is the place where free speech is celebrated, real news is shared, and opinions are welcomed.
Last October, Dennis brought his Team-DML roadshow to the Kravitz Center in West Palm Beach to a sold out crowd of over 300.
