Some updates from Defend Florida:

Things are moving fast in Tallahassee as Defend Florida pushes key election integrity bills forward, but the fight isn’t over yet. A dangerous new bill, SB1414, threatens fair elections by prioritizing ballot images over paper ballots—just like in Georgia 2020. Join the movement, take action, and help us secure Florida’s elections by heading to Tallahassee or engaging with your local Supervisor of Elections!

Mike Levine has started Glass House Media as an outlet to share his knowledge and experience with the LCREC and RPOF.  In an effort to hear the “other side”, this is a free speech outlet to check out!

Amazing what can be eliminated when you actually look at what is being spent!  Rand Paul used to deliver his annual report of government wasteful spending but we never saw it to this extent!

Just a few factual highlights of the meeting, since not all are getting the emails from the LCREC.  Hopefully, with the form signed and filled out last night, this will be updated and corrected for future meetings.

1. New members who filled out their paperwork were not voted in last night.  Per LCREC Chairman, new members must first fill out their paperwork and turn it in at a meeting, then they will be voted in at the next LCREC meeting.
2. It was announced that we will not have a meeting in March.  Next meeting will be in April, but a date and location have not yet been determined.
3. Ken McCard reminded everyone that George Fest is this weekend at Ferran Park in Eustis.  Please come help with Voter Registration and march in the parade.
4. We did not vote to approve the budget as there was some input from the floor.  The LCREC Executive Board will meet to consider some changes and approve then it will be presented at the full LCREC at the April meeting for a vote.
5. The Committees were identified and adopted.
   • Budget –
   • Election Integrity –

If you are not aware of GunWriter, Lee Williams, he just published this article (link below) exposing NEO Philanthropy and applauds a new tool DataRepublican.com.  Here is part of his article:

“Have you ever heard of NEO Philanthropy? They’re a left-wing group that has been around for more than 40 years. NEO wants folks to believe it is a partnership between “changemakers and funders.” They claim to provide “resources to groups accelerating change.” Race, gender and DEI are huge for them, but guns are a problem.

An incredible website database has outed NEO Philanthropy’s actual duties, and those of thousands of other similar groups. NEO, it turns out, is nothing more than a middleman. It receives money and funnels some of it to Everytown for Gun Safety as well as other leftwing, anti-gun groups.

The website database is called DataRepublican.com, and it will forever change the way nonprofits handle their funding, especially those on the left.”

In case you missed it, this local news interview of Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County is simple and factual regarding why illegals with “warrants to be deported” are still here. ICE is not reporting them to the National Crime Information Center that local authorities have access to.

Get your pen out and start writing your legislature, governors, and even the President that ICE needs to be reformed also!

Even Disney is dropping some DEI.  Maybe they will get back to entertainment and out of politics! Like Bud-Light they need passholders to come back.

Matt Gaetz and Lake County Commission, Anthony Sabatini, sit down on the Matt Gaetz Show to discuss the Walt Disney Corporation’s reversal of DEI policies and WOKE messaging in movies.

We helped Donald Trump win the presidency by MILLIONS of votes. As major corporations adjust policies on WOKENESS, it is apparent that the majority of the country does not want wokeness forced on them and their children.
