Rally Reveals anti-Rubio Backlash

On Monday, March 18, a good-sized crowd of Trump supporters rallied in front of Marco Rubio’s office on PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens. There was a general consensus among those present that “Little Marco” chose to spit in President Trump’s face rather than support his actions on the obvious emergency on the southern border.

Judging by the active support of motorists passing by (thumbs up, honking), many people share our concern that we have a Florida Senator that is a fake Republican. Our other Senator, Rick Scott, stood with the President along with 40 others.

It is curious that “Little Marco” would take this vote given certainty of a sustained veto. He needlessly antagonized the President’s supporters, and will probably feel the consequences in lack of support for his re-election fundraising. A lot of people have “unsubscribed” from his fund-raising emails – you may decide to do the same.

Send him an email and let him know what you think of his actions at his website. You can also call his Washington office at (202) 224-3041.

Here is a sampling of the patriots that supported the rally:

Rubio Protest Rally Monday – the Backlash Begins

This week, a “dirty dozen” of so-called “Republican” Senators, voted to spit in the face of our President.

It wasn’t about the Constitution, and it wasn’t about the “separation of powers” or the hallowed “appropriations process”. It was spite, pure and simple.

You expect this kind of anti-Trump crap from the usual suspects – Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Toomey, even the flaky and unpredictable Rand Paul. But to see a Florida Senator with an “R” next to his name show this level of vindictiveness is cause for outrage and disdain.

Marco Rubio would rather open our borders to the world, hamstring the border patrol and ICE, let the flood of opioids, gang bangers, terrorists, human traffickers and phony asylum seekers accelerate unabated until our system falls of its own stupidity.

The current Congress is a joke. The paralysis, corruption and outright evil that passes for Representative Government in this country may be too far gone to save short of throwing all the bums out and starting anew. We now have a President who has laid out a plan and is trying desperately to solve the defining problem of our time. Rubio and his ilk have chosen the wrong side of this battle and deserve to be hounded mercilessly until they either do the job they were sent to do or resign from office.

The backlash begins now. Please join us for a rally in front of the Senator’s office on PGA Boulevard on Monday, 3/18 at 4PM. Bring signs that say what you think of our so-called “Senator”. The office is at 4580 PGA Blvd. Suite 201.

And sending him an email or calling the office wouldn’t hurt either. Let him know that he has really stepped in it this time!

Get Ready for the Fight

Right off the bat there are two issues we need to be familiar with and take very seriously. The Democrats are moving full steam ahead with their tyrannical game plan. We must be ready to take these issues head on as they have no plans on slowing down any time soon.

Issue number one; On Friday March 8^th, the House Democrats passed HR 1, 234-193. It’s named the “For the People Act” and it is anything but “for the people.” Adam Brandon, President of Freedom Works, writes in his blog titled, “Oppose the So-Called “For the People Act” HR 1”, “H.R. 1 is an ambitious effort by the House Democrats to dictate the manner and outcome of elections in the United States.” I encourage you to read Brandon’s blog post, but here are the highlights of a bill that “would steamroll federalism and dictate to the states how their elections should be run.” H.R. 1 would prevent states from determining the qualifications of their voters and lift the ban on voting for convicted felons. The 14^th amendment allows states to bar certain citizens from voting for “participation in rebellion, or other crime.”

• H.R. 1 authorizes a three judge panel at the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia to redraw congressional districts. This is in direct violation of the 10^th Amendment and the sovereignty of the individual states. Nowhere in Article III of the Constitution does it grant this kind of power to the courts.

• H.R. 1 authorizes federal employees at executive agencies to work as poll workers and ensure they get paid for doing so.

• H.R. 1 would force political organizations to reveal their donors. This is in direct violation of the landmark civil rights case in, NAACP v Alabama (1958) whereby the Supreme Court opined that the NAACP did not have to disclose its membership list, as forcing them to do so would violate the due process clause of the 14^th Amendment. This also violates the Supreme Court’s opinion in Citizens United v FEC (2010) which upheld that political donations are protected free speech under the First Amendment. H.R. 1 goes as far as stipulating that Citizens United v FEC decision is “detrimental to democracy” and that the Constitution should be amended to defy it.

• H.R. 1 broadens the definition of a “lobbyist.” It specifies that anyone who “provides who provides “strategic and political counseling services” to someone who contracts or lobbies is now a lobbyist. Brandon writes, “the left is trying to create a six degrees of Kevin Bacon test to define all Americans as lobbyists and thus regulate their political speech.”

• H.R. 1 will force sponsors of online political ad to file duplicative and extensive reports with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). H.R.1 will hold tech companies liable for any ads that go up that may have been sponsored by an unauthorized person. This will in turn increase the risk for these companies and thus raise the cost of sponsoring political content on line. This will have the intended consequence of sponsoring on line political ads to the wealthy who have a legal team to cut through the FEC bureaucratic red-tape.

• H.R. 1 proposes turning the FEC into a 5-member body with the ruling party having a three seat majority, and the ability to hand down decisions unilaterally.

• H.R. 1 would dedicate taxpayer dollars to election campaigns. It would create a subsidy for campaigns and would match six times a political donation with tax payer money.

• H.R. 1 would allow Congress, in a violation of the separation of powers, to create a commission to determine a “code of conduct” for judges of the Supreme Court. Not only is this a blatant attempt to go after the constitutionalist on the Supreme court it is an unconstitutional attempt by Congress to set standards for a co-equal branch of the government. (https//www.freedomworks.org/content/oppose-so-called-“-people-act-hr-1)

While we inherently know H.R. 1 is nothing but a hot steamy unconstitutional pile of crap, it is a testament to the depths of depravity at which the Democratic Party will go destroy our republic and gain power and control over the American people. It is in and of itself so evil and so wicked to even suggest it boards on insanity, stupidity and recklessness.

Issue number two; a bi-partisan attempt to infringe on our second amendment right to keep and bear arms in Florida. Two Florida grass root based organizations, The Americans for Gun Safety Now (AFGSN) (www.americansforgunsafetynow.com) and Ban Assault Weapons Now (BAWN) (www.bawnfl.org) created a bi-partisan alliance that they claim will bring “real gun reform” to Florida and ban assault weapons. The end game for these organizations is to get enough signatures on their petition to get a proposal on the 2020 ballot to amend the Florida constitution to designate any semi-automatic long gun in Florida with a capacity of more than ten rounds an “assault weapon” and ban them for future sale or possession.

• This proposal would require Floridians register their firearms with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

• Failure to do so after a grace period would be a third degree felony. That would automatically strip Floridians of their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.

• This proposal would invalidate Florida Criminal Statute 790.335 (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/) a prohibition on registration and keeping of lists/records.

It cannot be said in strong enough terms; that we are up against a doctrine of pure evil. The Democratic Party has become the party of infanticide, anti-Semitism, bigotry and Socialism. The above makes it crystal clear, they are coming for our guns and they are coming for our individual liberties.

I am psyched to take on this evil force. Are you with me?

Vote NO on PBG Ballot Questions !!

On March 13, there will be a Palm Beach Gardens Election with four ballot questions related to the city charter. There are no candidates on the ballot this year.

These questions, if passed, will have the effect of seriously weakening the term limits that we so dearly won in 2014.

You may have heard there is controversy about misleading wording on some of the questions, and a city resident has filed a lawsuit to challenge the language as dishonest. If the lawsuit is successful, voters will be told that the results will not count. It is too late to change the questions and absentee ballots have already been mailed.

It is difficult to tell from the ballot language what a yes or no vote really means, but here is our synopsis:

A YES on question 1 replaces much of the charter language to “clean it up” and bring it into line with state law. It also drops the requirement for city manager annual review, lets him (or her) live outside the city, throws out the votes for a candidate when they drop out of a race late, removes the requirement for charter reviews and many other things that go beyond “fixup”. Because there are so many substantive changes under the false guide of “fixup”, we urge you to VOTE NO ON 1.

A YES on question 2 extends council term limits from the current 2 terms of 3 years (6 total – adopted in 2014) to 3 terms of 3 years (9 total). Since this changes the rules for the current council (who would not be there if not for term limits), a very self-serving move, we urge you to VOTE NO ON 2.

A YES on question 3 allows council members to run again after their term limits are reached if they wait three years. Since this would have the effect of throwing out the 4th District Court of Appeals judgement in the Woods case, which ruled that term limited councilmen cannot run again, we urge you to VOTE NO ON 3.

A YES on question 4 drops the requirement for “majority wins” (50% + 1) in council elections. In a race with 3 or more candidates, the candidate with the most votes wins – even if it is only a small percentage of the votes cast. Since this “Incumbent Protection Act” makes it easier for incumbents with name recognition to split the opposition vote by encouraging a larger field to counter challengers, we urge you to VOTE NO ON 4.

For the actual ballot language see: SAMPLE BALLOT

With no candidates on the ballot it is expected to be a low turnout – perhaps 1000 voters or so. Keep in mind that when term limits were adopted in November 2014 – 20,000 people voted and over 16,000 voted for 2 terms of 3 years. If you think it is unfair for a handful of people to overturn the will of 16,000, then GET OUT AND VOTE ON MARCH 13.
