In Mr. O’Neil’s, ‘Florida Tea Party’ own words
January 13, 2010 By Save America
Fred O’Neil who is the Chairman of the Florida Tea Party has registered the name, ‘Tea Party’ as a new political party in the State of Florida.
While some polls have shown the Tea Party movement has a rating which has exceeded both Republican and Democratic party, this kind of success will attract opportunists and have the potential to take advantage of the success of this rapidly growing movement.
Most of the larger metropolitan Tea Party movements have never encountered Mr. O’Neil ‘s participation or involvement until he registered his new political party. The current evidence of his lack of involvement to personally build upon the Tea Party movement leads to question the reasons this third party was created without consulting or incorporating any of the established groups or leaders.
So, is it reasonable to question whether Mr. Fred O’Neil’s ‘Tea Party’ has the potential to disrupt attempts to win back this country in November 2010?
In Mr. O’Neil’s own words, on Sunday, January 10, 2010 directed to a fellow Tea Party leader, we’d like for you to decide. According to his suggestion, ALL of the established Tea Party groups will no longer be allowed to continue to operate under this name. This will have a national impact for all states that file a third party movement, more less, the National Tea Party or Tea Party Express touring through Florida should Mr. O’Neil decide to exercise his right to the propriety of the ‘Tea Party’ name. We’ve withheld the recipient’s name and City from this correspondence for obvious reasons:

“ I suggest you take a look at whether your (City Name) Tea Party needs to get a new name. Specifically, take a look at the first sentence of sub-section (2) of Section 103.081 (“Use of party name; political advertising“), Florida Statutes. It says: “(2) No person or group of persons shall use the name, abbreviation, or symbol of any political party, the name abbbreviation, or symbol of which is filed with the Department of State, in connection with any club, group, association, or organization of any kind unless approval and permission have been given in writing by the state executive committee of such party.”
Like it or not, the “Tea Party” of the State of Florida, a registered political party, is entitled to the same protection under the law as the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. And don’t complain to me. I didn’t write the law. The legislature did. So, if you have a problem with it, take it up with them, not me. But, until the law is changed, I suggest obeying it.
Oh, I missed two things. One, there is an exemption under that statute for groups that have been existence for more than 10 years? Has the “(City Name) Tea Party” been in existence for more than 10 years? Two, as the statute says you can use the name of a regsitered political party in connection with your group if you have permission from the state executive committee. (Name withheld), if I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that permission to come any time soon.

Fake Tea Party Done
A one Steve Cohn in the NYC area held a press conference last week
announcing that he was the true Tea Party candidate for governor.
He insisted Carl Paladino has hijacked the platform by lying to the public,
and that Carl doesn’t represent the interests of the Tea Party. ?!?!
Steve Cohn and his band of liberal brothers attempted to gain access to
the ballot under the Tea Party name, in order to establish permanent ballot
status as the “official” Tea Party. Why? In hopes of confusing voters, gain
control and support Liberal candidates, just like the corrupt state
Independence Party does, of which they are all members.
Rus Thompson filed suit against his petition, and invalidated it on the
grounds that Cohn had named no Lt. Gov. candidate. Check out

James, you wonder why people act “like the world is falling apart”. No, not cry babies…just people who have love of country. WE ARE NOT SORE LOSERS OR CRY BABIES, when
this administration is attacking from within! We are being destroyed by a group of “domestic” enemies who have managed to seize political power and whose mission is in fact to bring “change” to America ___ the dismantling of our military defensive power; the allowance of our borders to be overrun by foreign invaders, the diluting of our election process by allowing ineligible persons to vote; the destruction of our manufacturing capabilities; the strangulation of our agricultural industry and ability to produce food under the guise of environmental necessity; the looting of both our federal treasury and a mandatory retirement pension fund; the brainwashing of our nation’s children in government operated schools; the creation of an iron fisted control unauthorized by our written Constitution over America’s businesses and industries; the devaluation of our nation’s currency, and, the future enslavement of our children and grand children via unbridled debt and inflation, not to mention an iron fisted government which intends to rule their very lives.
You go ahead and support this tyranny…..and as all liberals do, just try to open your eyes and ears…your racist charges fall desparately short.
What do you mean “win back this country”? I voted for the Democrats and fully support our President in his efforts to save our national economy (which was driven into the ground by you republicans).
I have never seen a bigger bunch of sore losers. Your party lost a national election and you act like the world is falling apart.
Whiny assed crybabies. Oh, the world is falling apart because we elected a black man…oh nooooo!
