On March 18, 2010, the Florida Elections Commission reviewed a complaint from John Lundin, 3524 Plantation Way, #412, Naples FL, alleging violations of Florida’s election laws against the Naples Tea Party.

Mr. Lundin alleged in his complaint that the Naples Tea Party is an unregistered Florida political committee and that it sponsored a fundraiser for Col Allen West, a candidate for the United States House of Representatives.

Mr. Lundin also alleged that the Naples Tea Party sponsored an event at the intersection of US 41 and Pine Ridge Road on February 6, 2010, at which it accepted several types of in-kind contributions.

However, the ruling of the Florida Elections Commission determined that Mr. Lundin failed to provide any evidence with the complaint to support his allegations.

Mr. Lundin was given 14-days to provide additional information to support his complaint.

On March 29, 2010, The Florida Elections commission reviewed Mr. Lundin’s amended complaint, which included additional information, alleging the Naples Tea Party was in violation of Florida election laws.

The Florida Elections Commission determined the additional information was legally insufficient and ruled against Mr. Lundin.

Mr. Lundin was given 21-days to file a request for review with stated specificity the reasons he believed the complaint was legally sufficient.

Mr. Lundin failed to meet the 21-day deadline asking for a request for review and according Florida State statutes, the case has been officially closed.

Barry Willoughby, of the Naples Tea Party, has responded that from the very beginning, this complaint was an attempt to smear and discredit the Naples Tea Party. Mr. Lundin has gone on record in letters to the editor, and with his formation of Obamarmy, has made false claims and scurrilous accusations against the Naples Tea Party.

Should Mr. Lundin continue with this slanderous behavior, legal representatives have been contacted and will deal with Mr. Lundin in a civil court of law.

The Naples Tea Party remains a grassroots movement with no political party affiliation or an agent working as a financial sponsor for any political candidate.

We remain as a voice for we the people in our grievance against out of control spending and debt in Washington, increased dysfunctional layers of unelected bureaucratic functionaries controlling our lives, loss of individual liberty, Constitutional infringements and a government in which the people are no longer able to hold those in power accountable.

Now comes something called the “Coffee Party.”

I mean………..come on. Why not call it the “Gold Party,” afterall, Soros is currently trying to drive up the price of gold by hedging his bet against massive inflation in the United States sure to come, due to the reckless economic policies his puppet Barack Obama has put into place.

In attempting to portray the Coffee Party as a grassroots project, one has to chuckle picturing latte-sipping liberals sitting around at a Starbucks discussing the “illegal” wiretaps against terrorists that George Bush put into place. Of course they don’t realize it, but Obama has probably doubled the exertion in snooping on people.

They will make an effort to project this as the voice of a new “grassroots” and “bipartisan” political coalition. The Coffe Party is about as grassroots as a flock of Ibis poking their bills into the ground looking for rich nuggets of nutrition……….things like grubs, worms, roaches, leeches and other assorted morsels that progressives are attracted to in picking their leaders in Washington.

Does one really think the Coffee Party will receive a grassroots/bipartisan mantel that has forever eluded the Left? It will be hard to shake the power and influence of those “limosine liberals” running the Democrat Party, as noted by Charles Martel in his comments in RedState.

“The problem with this, and any other wannabe leftist TEA Party equivalent is this: The TEA Party began and has flourished because those involved felt — rightly — that they had no voice in our country today, that they were being ignored or outright mocked by government and the media. The TEA Party has given us back power and a voice.

Any such group on the left is going to run into the very real problem that they already have a voice. The media, Hollywood, academia, basically the entire government — they’re all saying the same thing this Coffee Party will be saying. And the movement loses any motivation and drive right from the get go.”

More insight came from from a Newsbuster reader commenting on the Washington Post’s Coffee Party USA coverage:

“I guess the WaPo agrees that to them and this liberal facebooker, it’s all about style over substance and looks over content. They don’t even attempt to point out WHY the term ‘Tea Party’ was chosen and what historical significance it has.

I guess that it’s appropriate that this was in the style section of the newspaper. I wonder if the Democrats are capable of a grass-roots organization. Every liberal cause in my lifetime has been driven by the George Soros’ and MoveOn shakers that control and direct the Democrats.”

Then, there is the added problem of perception for the Coffee Party. Many, if not most, are registered Democrats because of abortion, but they’re totally freaking out about the dysfunational government now in place in Washington. They too are voicing their concerns regarding uncontrollable spending, the road to bankruptcy through debt that can never be paid off and continual infringements upon the United States Constitution.

Suddenly, abortion rights don’t seem as palatable while sipping a hazelnut blend. And that is why many Democrats are content raising their voices with the “we the people” Tea Party movement. A cross section of Tea Partiers shows many Democrats, Independents and Rubublicans united in taking back our country and holding those who represent us in government accountable.

For the elitist progressive crowd that will make up the Coffee Party, it will be business as usual…..high-brow intellectual snobs discussing how to keep their subjects under controll. No wonder the truly grassroots…….and yes, bipartisan tea partiers terrify these deeply disingenuous Pelosi astroturfers that will make up the Coffee Party.

It is also important to note that partisan attacks on Tea Party groups are
now being centrally organized, and this complaint is likely following
the spirit……..or even the direction………of this national effort to kill
the Tea Party movement.

But, the tea Party movement will not be distracted and we will press on. I might even drink a cup of coffee now and then………without the added flavor of elitism.

We had a very good turnout in front of Senator Nelson’s office on december 16th. The last count I received was close to 70.

And when it came time for people to start dying, what a terrific job. I expected seven or eight people to die, but we had close to twenty deaths because of government-run heath care rationing.

One lady told me afterwards that she thought Julia Roberts had actually fainted…………It was that realistic. But then, when other people started going down, she realized it was a skit.

Unfortunately, the television stations did not make it. I’m sure if ACORN had staged a protest, they would have been there. Oh well. The Fort Myers News Press had a camera man and a reporter. Look for the story in tomorrow’s News Press.

We were able to film the event ourselves and take many pictures of the dead people. Cheryl said she is going to put it on YouTube. Please send me your pictures, so I can forward them onto those who were not able to be there.

Again, our work is only beginning with the 2010 election cycle right around the corner. Our goal………”vote them out”………and get people elected who share the Tea Party ideals.

Merry Christmas to all,

The degree to which the CRU, United Nations IPCC and NOAH, though sloppiness, ineptitude, cherry-picking, exaggeration, deception, falsification, concealed or lost data, flawed studies and virtual fraud having become systemic and epidemic, is now beginning to surface…….thanks to the computer hacking.

What a great new day for science.

Letters To The Editor are in order.

The truth will ultimately prevail if we expose the fraud.

Stay tuned for more information.

This is why we need someone like Marco Rubio in Washington, in the
Senate. We conservatives have not had someone representing us in the
Senate for a long time. Mel Martinez was so pro-illegal alien there was a
total disconnect with his constituents early in his unfinished term. I
believe Marco Rubio has the courage of his convictions, that he will
inspire elected Republicans who have exhibited less backbone, and there
is no limit to what he can achieve. I was inspired and encouraged by him
and his words last night; I came away with a stack of fliers for the
uninformed and a few bumper stickers to give supporters, and I will
continue to talk to people about Rubio everywhere I go: beauty shop,
grocery store, doctor’s offices, etc. I encourage you to do likewise as
we all meet different people and that will increase awareness of Rubio
more efficiently. His website has some very good information and I
encourage you to check it periodically to get updates on his campaign. I
especially found informative the page which refutes incorrect claims
about Rubio’s positions (mostly levied by narci-crist supporters)
http://marcorubio.com/the-facts/ His site address is
http://www.marcorubio.com I do not believe that Crist will not go down without a
fight, and I do not think he will fight fairly, but I believe he will go
down next August. Intelligent conservatives have the discernment to
recognize the real deal when they see it. Marco Rubio is the real deal.
Sorry Charlie.

Mandy Connell was the “MC” at the dinner last night; this morning on her
show during the 7 am hour she had a good overview about why she will
enthusiastically vote for Marco Rubio, and she is right: It is wonderful
to be able to vote FOR someone, instead of voting against the “lesser of
2 evils.” We are all tired of that. If you did not hear her show, you
can listen to the podcast of today’s show:
http://www.winknewsradio.com/podcasts/ They usually have it up within a
couple hours of show’s end. Here is the general website for WINK 92.5

I leave you with my favorite non-Biblical quote, from Edmund Burke: “All
that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
Marco Rubio is a good man. I think all you on my email list are good
“men” and I hope you will get active and do whatever you can to help him,
verbally and financially. It is imperative for us to fight with
everything in us to prevent the triumph of corruption so prevalent in our
government today.
Feel free to forward this and inclulde my name.

Yes, the tone of the speech reflected genuine concern for the victims and their families, but as millions watched the memorial service, political correctness was further cemented into our culture.

It is clear to many that the devastating effect of political correctness was responsible for the murder of thirteen American soldiers in the name of Allah. It was the act of a Muslim terrorist, associated with radical, extremist Islamist ideology. Red flags regarding Hasan were everywhere and his military career should have been cut short. Tragically, people in leadership positions ignored them due to political correctness.

President Obama went out of his way to placate the Muslim world and it looks like this will be a policy set in stone throughout his term. However, it is time for Americans to wake up to the fact that political correctness will allow other Muslim terrorists to organize, plan and execute another jihad against the United States within our borders. We need to take off our blinders and not be afraid to recognize and identify who our enemy is.

I also want to remind you all of the Media Training event sponsored by the SWFL 9-12 Project. There are still openings for pre-registration and would be a worthwhile seminar for everyone to attend. Information for the event is below.

First, I’m sorry about the very late action alert in front of the Naples OFA Headquarters. I did not become aware of their plans until 2:00 and debated whether or not to organize an event on such short notice. As it turned out, many did respond and we had a lively demonstration complete with local television coverage. Thanks to those who made it, but with that said, it is perfectly understandable for those who could not.

We’ve had a bit of a lull since 9-12, but there is a lot going on in the next couple of months. Don’t forget this coming Monday night at the VFW at 7:00. Tom has a short film and there will be some discussion regarding upcoming events, including the Tea Party Express event in Orlando on November the 11th. Our bus tour plans for that event will be a main topic of discussion.

Next Saturday, November 17th, is a national day set aside for the “Can You Hear Us Now” Tea Party movement. As stated so eloquently on the local Save America web-site………..
“The ObamaMedia ignored your Washington voice on 9/12 not only nationally……. yet here locally. Perhaps they’re fearful if the message gets out to all Americans that we stand together and we are not alone, they’d have to acknowledge us.”

It has been decided to hold a Naples Tea Party rally in front of the NBC2 television studio of WBBH in Fort Myers at 3:00 on Saturday, October 17th. The address is 3719 Central Avenue, which is just north off Winkler Avenue. Winkler runs east-west and is on the north side of Edison Mall.

There are two main reasons for selecting NBC. They have consistently displayed a lack of interest in reporting our local Tea Party events and along side CNN, have been in the forefront of denigrating the grassroots Tea Party movement with the likes of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. As usual, NBC2 was the only local television station to ignore our demonstration the other evening in front of the Naples OFA headquarters.

So, get your signs prepared and let’s all meet in front of the NBC2 studio next Saturday at 3:00 Remember, the theme is “Can You Hear Us Now” and is designed to call attention to the mainstream television media and their biased reporting and lack of understanding of what the grassroots Tea Party movement is all about. As usual, Barb and Jim Clinton at “Signs To Go” have a wide variety of ideas for signs. You can reach them at 598-2205.

The SW Florida 9-12 Project has several events scheduled during the week. Many of us will be on the corner of Pine Ridge and Airport Roads handing out educational flyers on Wednesday the 14th at 11:30. If you have the time, stop by and help out on that date and location. You can also call Janet Jones at 734-4444 for additional days during the week to participate if Wednesday is not a good day for you.

One Nation Under God and Bob Brown have several things going on, including an emergency road trip to Orlando on Tuesday, October the 13th regarding the court hearing deciding the fate of Rifqa Bary. Rifqa Bary is the 17 year old girl, from Sri Lanka, who is running for her life from her Islamic family which wants to kill her if she will not renounce her newfound Christian faith.

Remember the great results the last time Bob put together a caravan to Pensacola? Two teachers were spared jail for reciting a simple prayer (after asked to do so) in school when no children were present. The convoy will meet at Bob Evans on Immokalee RD. and I-75 for breakfast at 8:00 and depart for Orlando at 9:00. Please call Bob at 877-8043 for further information.

October and November promise to be busy and rewarding months for Naples Tea Partiers. A sneak preview of November will find the week of the 16th very active. Mark your calendar now to join the Council For Constitutional Principles when it holds a meeting on Monday the 16th. Marco Rubio will be the featured speaker and will take the time to hold a question and answer session. During the same week, Robert Levy, the Chairman of the Cato Institute, will be our featured speaker on Thursday the 19th. More details will be forthcoming, but plan on listening to these two important political figures.

Government health care and Cap-and-Trade will continue to make the headlines and be the lead stories on television and radio news outlets. Don’t let up……….continue with the letter writing and phone calls.

Force them to admit……….”we can hear you now.”
