Alex has been hitting the campaign trail throughout the state has done a awesome job of getting his message out. No matter where he goes, no matter who he’s speaking with, his message is the same…Support the Fair Tax, smaller government, pass the Enumerated Powers Act, eliminate redundancy within the federal government agencies. Where ever he’s been he’s gained support from people attending these rally and meetings.

In the past week I’ve been able to go to a few of these events. Last Saturday we were at the Constitution Day TEA Party event in Saint Augustine, where I witnessed people coming over to talk with Alex before and after his speech (Watch it here). After talking with him and hitting him with some serious and hard questions, they removed their Rubio buttons and took a Snitker one to replace it. The people are realizing that Rubio is not the conservative he says he is. At this event Rubio stayed in his limousine until a few minutes before his speech and ran back to it immediately after it. He avoided answering any questions as him and his handlers rushed through the crowd.

On Wednesday he spoke at the UF Libertarian Party meeting where he again answered any and all questions given to him. Again he won support from the attendees.

This morning Alex spoke (along with many other local and state candidates) at the Gainesville TEA Party event. Once more Alex gave the message that won people over to his campaign. He also talked about how we need to vote on our principals and not our political party. He stayed as long as he could to answer questions from people. One woman asked him why him? His answer was “If not me, then who? She replied with “so you’re willing to put your life on hold?” Alex answered her with a heart felt statement…”I rather put my life on hold then my son in chains. As he finished saying it, I watched a handful of people who were listening, take bumper stickers and buttons to help him in his fight for our freedoms.

Where ever he goes the affect is the same, He’s the right man for the Florida Senate seat. Please take the time to take a hard look at Alex’s ideas and I’m sure his message will ring through to you too. His website site is snitker2010.com
