Thank you Manatee County patriots. And thank you Florida News Report for bringing out evidence of what is happening. We have to ditch the election machines for starters, have truly fair and transparent elections. Then we have to get the right people in office and in the courts. We have to disestablish our government and GOP. As Gregg Phillips says--it is a thousand front war. From your perspective what are the most important thing that concerned citizens should be doing.? And what do we do about Shaw? Met a man while door knocking for Jordan Karr up here in Pensacola--he is as mad as I am about the endorsements by people who we thought had integrity...

Thank you Florida News for great reporting. As much as I respect our Governor, he seems to approve bills that Establishment senator Travis Hutson proposes that are not good for the people at large. I fear that the deep pockets of Hutson have an influence on our Gov. Lets hope we can vote Hutson out of office in this Primary. Vote Gerry James instead.

Great read..Travis Hutsons largest supporter with donations is Disney...enough said. He and his bought and paid for County Commissioners need to go in St John's county. Vote out all incumbents to make us truly great again. Establishment Republicans need to be ousted!

Its comical how they expect us to donate money and support their events, yet they try to silence us. Shut up, sit down, and give us your money. We know best!

We, the true MAGA patriots people of the Manatee County REC are chuckling at the email from Ted McCormac, in which he calls us insurgents….which sounds an awful lot like “insurrectionists”. Hmmm? Maybe they have a basement they can stick us in until after November. If they could they surely would.

The way you discern a true conservative from a “me first” establishment type or RINO lies in a simple observation of actions over words: if they won’t uphold the constitution of their own REC, they won’t give two cents for any constitution that thwarts their personal interests and thus are not conservative.

We the “insurgents of Manatee county” have heard:

“All motions have to be submitted 15 days in advance and approved by the board” (violation of the constitution)

“Why are you using our own rules against us!”

“It’s disrespectful of the Chair (to expect the rules to be upheld and your voices to count)

“Why can’t you just go along to get along”

“The mission is to “get Republicans elected” the rest of the mission statement (…that uphold the values of the R party) just doesn’t count”

“Whatever you want to do (ahem…get actual Republicans elected) go do it in a club or on your personal time- no one is stopping you” (oh, thanks!)

I’ve been out searching for some clues to where my people have gone? Yes, we were called deplorable. The establishment, since day one spied on our duly elected President, which is treason, lie after lie, smear after smear and we hold the line and take it. Now it’s confusing? Who do we vote for? Where do we go from here?

Where are the real America first Patriots?

Where are the folks that can see that sending taxpayers dollars to Ukraine is another Biden/ democratic scam lining the pockets of Brandon and friends! No! We will not support establishment Cheney types here in Florida!

MAGA 2024!!

Oh, we're having some fun up here in Escambia REC! I missed this meeting but sounds like a doozy. Emails are flying complaining about the "new people" the "rabble rousers"

One said: "The rec meetings are for us to vet candidates and to learn firsthand information. We are now being harassed by a new group of people who want to rabble rouse everyone into believing our election system is rigged without any actual proof. And to spend way too time with frivolous motions and resolutions. We are losing members because their time is being wasted with rantings and ravings. We all know the election was stolen, but the rec meetings are not a place to vent or to try the strong arm an entire group of people to adopt new unfounded resolutions. We need to get back to basics to what the rec meetings are designed for."

and then " I could not agree more. I used to enjoy our meetings but ever since this small group of self-serving people with their own agenda joined and formed their own little Election Integrity Committee, they have been like rabid dogs, tearing into the flesh of the ECREC. I almost dread coming to the meetings now and once again, last night, had to sit there and tolerate their grandstanding. Enough is enough! They need to pack their Robert's Rules and hit the pavement."

There is more but you get the gist. Those who have been there don't want to change.. Those that are new are there because we see problems and are trying to make a difference. Oh, the resolution is in regard to ERIC, use of voting machines, and the legality of Biden as president.

So what does Florida News Report think of the ivoterguide ratings of candidates? Are these really accurate? I like some and don't like some...https://ivoterguide.com/all-in-state/Florida/?ElecK=922

Coming soon:

Our watchdog group will identify the FNR editors.

Most everyone I’m certain will be surprised when they learn who they are.

So why did he endorse Simpson, or am I mistaken?
