July: The Month Florida REC RINOs Cancel
And we are about to tell you why...... an FNR Opinion
Early voting begins Saturday August 10th through Saturday August 17th at limited polling places. And Primary Election Day is Tuesday August 20th at the polling location on your voter registration card.
After making some calls around Florida to see which Republican Executive Committees are foregoing their LAST MEETING before the Republican Primary Election on August 20, we found the usual offenders.
Why the July County GOP Meeting Matters
Why would county GOP Chairs not want to have one last meeting before the Republican Primary?
It’s simple.
The Republican Establishment has no intention of “Getting out the vote” for the August Republican Primary when the choice is between
A) A RINO/Republican Establishment candidate
OR
B) An American First Republican
The July meeting is canceled/never scheduled because it would be the last meeting before the August Republican Primary and the America First candidates would be recruiting volunteers at this final meeting - they would be asking for donations for their last big push across the finish line and that will not be permitted by the RINO/Republican Establishment.
The RINO/Republican Establishment doesn’t want to increase Republican voter turnout. Less than 50% turnout is just fine by them….because they can control the voters who reliably show up…. the Republican Super Voters. That’s the small block of Republicans who have voted every single Primary / General Election and are easily identified on voter data from the Supervisor of Elections.
The RINO/Republican Establishment’s sole focus is managing and influencing those Republican Super Voters. They don’t want to work harder to influence more Republican Voters.
How much do the RINO/Republican political consultants know about each of the Republican Super Voters in the county? A lot. On average now, there are over a thousand data points purchased on each voter. From media subscriptions to candidates and charities they donated to, to their demographics, the political consultants know what messaging works on them… and the Republican Super Voter demographic overwhelmingly responds to fear porn. You’ll notice how very few mailers are actually positive for the RINO/Republican Establishment candidate. Ninety five percent of the mailers are targeted attack ads of their opponent which is what anybody would do if they couldn’t sell their candidate on his/her own merit. Superimposed images linking a George Washington type candidate with Karl Marx’ image titled, “Know the truth about George and his cozy relationship with Karl!” is the typical attack ad.
The political consultants play upon the heightened emotions of these Republican Super Voters to scare them away from the America First candidates, so they protect the RINO/Republican Establishment hold on all of Florida politics.
The only thing is…. it can only work for so long….especially for local candidates. It’s easier to find out what your local school board members and your city council members and most importantly, your county commissioners are up to.
So which Florida counties are getting it right and holding the July GOP meeting?
Coming in first as usual, Lake County. Chaired by America First Republican, Anthony Sabatini, we expected him to set the standard. Coming in as second is Collier County, which of course not only held their monthly meeting in July (1st), but their entire calendar is exploding with other unifying events. Hillsborough County came in at third, led by America First Chair, Carmen Edmonds. And
Which counties canceled or never scheduled a July meeting?
The usual suspects: Duval. Pasco. Alachua. Miami-Dade. Volusia. Brevard. Leon.
But the county with the wildest July 2024 goings on is Manatee. While their Chair, April Culbreath, had every intention of not holding the July meeting, she was one up’d by her Vice Chair, Nathan Knight, who called for a July meeting which led to a very contentious phone call between them, with Culbreath’s final words: “YOU CANNOT ENDORSE CANDIDATES AT THE MEETING!” To be fair, the vice chair wasn’t scheduling the meeting to Get Out The Vote… he scheduled it to discuss the financial health of the Manatee GOP.
Folks, this is why who you choose to lead your county Republican Party really matters. Do you want a Party that is visible, active and engaged? Then start electing Chairs and Boards who aren’t compromised - morally or ethically - and start picking the MAGA AF (MAGA -AMERICA FIRST) candidates to lead your county.
Why the Money Behind the Republican Primary Candidates Matters
Who is backing the RINO/Republican Establishment candidates?
The developers….all around the state of Florida.
The developers’ money buys the political consultants, the slick attack mailers, the caustic defamation messaging, silly and intelligence-insulting ads and big, big signs…. all designed to take out the America First Republican candidates.
Most of the America First Republican candidates would never take a dime from developers - since the corruption of the system by the developers using politicians was likely one of the main reasons they decided to run for office in the first place.
But let’s also talk about why the developers show up as contributing directly to the political consultants’ PACs…… it’s a perfect way to dodge campaign finance limits - $1000 limit from an individual directly to the campaign…..
BUT IT IS AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT TO THE POLITICAL CONSULTANT DIRECTLY.
Let me ask you… why would a developer ever donate to a political consultant’s PAC other than for campaign costs? The political consultant isn’t a Florida Licensed General Contractor on the side. The political consultant isn’t a registered lobbyist with the state or the county, going in front of the county commissioners pleading his Developer-client’s case for gobbling up land without infrastructure in place first.
You can clearly see the developers’ “donations” to the political consultants’ PACs, but there’s really never an adequate description of the goods or services provided by that PACs to explain why the developers would drop adding up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Developers pay the Political Consultants’ PAC = those PAC “donations” are used to campaign for the Developers’ chosen candidate = dodging campaign finance limits.
