Stephen Steinlight at Wellington on 9/14

In addition, we will have a second speaker, Mr. Nick Adams. He is a motivational speaker from Australia who just recently became a U.S. Citizen.

In his speaking tours, Nick outlines the need for the United States to stay true to the principles of its founding: freedom, liberty, democracy, opportunity, justice, and bravery. He considers there to be no greater moral imperative than keeping America strong. He illuminates to his audiences the global consequences of a weak America, or an America that does not believe in itself. Nick’s view is simple: what is good for America is good for the world. Above all, he inspires people.

Breakfast with Candidates 8/13

He will discuss the RNC from the perspective of Florida’s National Committeeman.

Peter Feaman was unanimously elected in 2012 by the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida to be its National Committeeman to represent Florida Republicans at the Republican National Committee in Washington, D.C.

As a practicing trial attorney, Mr. Feaman was recognized by Florida Trend
magazine as one of Florida’s “Elite Lawyers” in the field of business and commercial litigation in 2011.

Mr. Feaman will also have a book signing featuring his latest
book, “The Next Nightmare – How Political Correctness is Destroying
America.” It has a forward by Allen West.

A father, husband and Florida businessman, Carlos Beruff is a proud representation of the American Dream. Born in Miami to Cuban refugees, Carlos was raised in South Florida and now lives in Manatee County, Florida where he leads a successful business building homes for thousands of Florida families. Carlos has taken his business experience and given back to his community by bringing real reform to many of Florida’s bloated and inefficient bureaucracies.

Carlos is sick of the status quo in Washington, and he’s the only candidate in Florida’s U.S. Senate race who has the skills needed to reform Washington and undo the damage of Obama’s presidency.

By bailing out the Wall Street executives and giving handouts to the poor, politicians are chiseling away at the honesty and hard work that has made this nation, “a land of opportunity”. We don’t need lip service or any more empty promises. We need people who can take action, stand up, and do what’s right for the American people.

We need to restore American resolve by electing a person who has integrity, honesty, and the relentless dedication to serving people. We need a leader.
Mark Freeman is a true leader. He isn’t a politician. He is a doctor, a veteran, a businessman, and most importantly, a follower of Christ. He is like every other American patriot before him. He puts the country he loves before himself; and he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the American spirit.
Join us.
