Freedomworks at Abacoa in June and Dr. Dawn Silver

For over a quarter century, FreedomWorks has identified, educated, and actuated citizens who are enthused about showing up to support free enterprise and constitutionally limited government.

They are not primarily a “think-tank,” content to study the issues and publish papers and reports. FreedomWorks breaks down the barriers between the beltway insiders and grassroots America.

FreedomWorks members know that government goes to those who show up. That’s why they give them the tools to break through the media noise and provide the same access to Washington as the big-moneyed lobbyists.

Preserving liberty depends on all Americans having access to their elected officials—not just special interests. FreedomWorks holds Washington accountable to the citizens that put them in office.

FreedomWorks was originally founded as Citizens for a Sound Economy in 1984. Founded to fight for liberty, they brought together some of the best and brightest minds of the liberty movement. Since then, they’ve expanded their ambitions from a free-market think tank to a service center for the grassroots freedom movement across the whole country.

Roman Buhler at Abacoa in May

Roman Buhler is the National Director of the Madison Coalition, an organization working to restore a balance of state and federal power and to curb the authority of overreaching federal regulators.

The Madison Coalition has worked to develop a strategy to implement the idea proposed by Reagan’s Attorney General, Ed Meese, to give states the same power as Congress to propose a specific Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Just as states helped force Congress to propose the Bill of Rights, states could force Congress to propose constitutional reforms like a balanced budget amendment and curbs on federal regulators.

Under Mr. Buhler’s leadership the Madison Coalition has helped to persuade 29 state legislative chambers and the RNC with the approval of the White House to pass Resolutions urging Congress to propose a “Regulation Freedom Amendment” to require that major new federal regulations be approved by Congress.

Please RSVP below.

Mr. Buhler came to Washington in 1989 to serve as Newt Gingrich’s first House Committee Counsel. Mr. Buhler served from 1989 to 2003 and again in 2007 as Elections Counsel to the Committee on House Administration, handling election integrity issues for House Republicans.

Among his projects after leaving government service have been legislation to speed the delivery of military ballots home from overseas and a “Military Voting Rights Rule” unanimously adopted by the 2012 Republican National Convention Rules Committee.

Prior to his service in the House Mr Buhler worked as an attorney and political consultant in California.

He was born and raised in Harrison, NY. He attended Harrison High School where he was an Eagle Scout and graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover MA.

SOE Wendy Link Highlights Abacoa Meeting

Appointed by Governor DeSantis to replace former SOE Susan Bucher who he removed from office after the embarrassing spectacle that was the 2018 election in PBC, Wendy Sartory Link is a breath of fresh air.

Having never held elective office, nor planning to run for the job permanently, Wendy comes from a successful career in business and civic leadership, and is interested in solving problems. And problems are what she faces at the SOE.

In her 6 year tenure, Susan Bucher so politicized the office, that Democrat poll workers in south county have quit en masse, telling Wendy that they are “loyal to Susan Bucher, not you.” Unfortunately, many of the remaining management in the organization may also be loyal to her predecessor, a real impediment to change. The morale in the organization was poor when Wendy took over, and staff did not trust each other and in some cases felt that advantage could only come at others expense. After the 2018 recount circus, the reputation of the organization is on a par with the days of the butterfly ballot, and Wendy has inherited outdated and failing equipment, a voter registration system incompatible with the rest of the state and dependent on a single questionable vendor, and a mandate to roll out new technology in time for the Presidential Primary in March 2020.

In her short time in office, Wendy has successfully lobbied the county for more money for the equipment rollout, started the move to a new registration system, and completed a successful March Municipal election with a suspect staff and essentially no experience of her own in running elections. A very good start indeed.

Unfortunately, the demographics of the county being what they are, the 2020 election will likely bring us back a Susan Bucher clone (if not Susan herself). We can only hope that Wendy can transform the office sufficiently in 2 years to not only run a fair and open 2020 election, but implement the processes, procedures and staffing to keep it professional and impartial for many years to come in spite of what her successor brings to the job.

Part of insuring open and fair elections is the makeup of the pollworker workforce. About 1000 new workers are needed for next year, so if you ever thought about working the polls, now is the time to step up. You can apply for the job at the SOE website

The second speaker of the evening was pundit Loren Spivack. Using his quirky humor to good effect, he attacked Progressives on the fault lines of their inconsistencies.

Why do they oppose a border wall, he asks. With their unshakeable faith in the death and destruction being caused by carbon emissions, why would you want to import people from third world countries where their carbon footprint is tiny, to an industrial country where they would spew carbon prodigously? Why it could even shorten the 12 year outlook to the end of days!

He deftly explained how socialism is about control, not ideology, and pointed out the the only war in which we have engaged that had no anti-war movement was World War II. The reason? We were on the same side as Stalin, one of their “good guys”.

He also touched on how Sweden has moved from a bulwark of feminism to a society where rapes are many and increasing. When surveys suggest that it is the recent immigrant population from cultures where respect for women is lacking, their response was to stop doing the surveys. (Note – that may be changing. See: “Sweden to Release First Report on Migration and Crime since 2005”.)

Other examples include Progressives support for trans-genders competing in women’s sports (throwing women under the bus) and their recent support for anti-semitism (eg Ilhan Omar), doing the same to Jews.

Perhaps his best line of the night sums up socialism nicely: “Many mice die in mouse traps because they don’t understand why the cheese is free.”

Loren is the author of several humorous books on the subject, including “The Wizard of Iz“, “The New Democrat“, and “The Gorax“.

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!
