Twenty Days Until the Election

We only have twenty more days until the election. There are still some issues that need to be addressed within that time frame. We as Libertarians and Constitutional Conservatives need to realize that Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate for Florida has a big lead on both Charlie Crist and Kendrick Meeks, but when it comes to his lead over Alex Snitker it’s not much of a lead at all.

Floridians have be more informed about the candidate they are looking to vote for. We have Rubio who is not the conservative he claims to be. His record shows that he supported the Cap and Trade bill which in and of it’s self is not a conservative view. Add to the fact that he has avoided talking to any groups of people at any event unless he’s giving one of his written speeches. At the Constitution Day rally held in Saint Augustine, he was kept in his limousine until a few minutes before his schedule time to speak to the crowd. Once he gave his speech, which also lacked any substance to his plans once in office, he was rushed off by his handlers back into the limousine and off to give another appearance some where else.

I had the chance to ask him a question as he rushed to his car. The question was…”How come you refuse to be vetted by any TEA party chapter?” His response to me was… “Yes I have.” I know for a fact that he has not been vetted by any of the chapters which means to me that he’s not as honest as he claims to be. We also know that there is an investigation into his involvement of campaign funds being used to purchase and install new flooring in his personal home. It’s also rumored that he may be indicted on said charges, but not before the election. If that is the case and charges are filed, he may have to step down as Senator (if he wins), leaving the present Governor (Charlie Crist) to select a replacement. For all we know, Charlie Crist may choose himself as the replacement.

Both Crist and Rubio are career politicians who are surrounded by corruption and scandals. We as Floridians don’t deserve this type of representation for us. We need to let the rest of the state know that there is another choice when it comes to the Senate seat. Alex Snitker is that choice. He is a eight year veteran of the United State Marine Corp, a family man who has never been involved in politics nor does he have any plans to become a career politician. he doesn’t have any past that he has to hide. Alex is straight forward with his answers and has never (or will ever) dodge any question posed to him. I find him to be a honorable man with a lot of character.

Take a good hard look at his website and see for yourself that Alex Snitker is the right man for the job.

Ocala Tea Party Rally

The purpose of the Tea Party is to stand up against the big government spending and taxing that has been going on way too long. TEA actually stands for Taxed Enough Already as well as a reference to the tea party in Boston in 1773, when England tried to add taxes on to the tea coming in to America.

I know the Tea Party movement is a non-partisan one, but as a person who attends Tea Party meetings, I know the mindset of the Tea party groups are for fiscal responsibility and personal freedoms. Many of the people who go to the meetings are Independents, Libertarians and Republicans. Quite a few are Democrats that are thinking (if not already) jumping ship and changing their political affiliation. As a Libertarian, more of us need to attend these meetings and inform the people that there’s another choice than the two parties.

We see from the work being done on the health care bill, it’s a matter of one politician voting on something for a kick-back or a favor later down the road. We need to get the word out that the true Free-American political party are the Libertarians. The free market, free trade, smaller government, true liberty, personal freedom, Constitutional-abiding type of government that this country was founded on.

On Monday, January 18, 2010, the Ocala Tea party (along with some surrounding area chapters), are having a rally in Ocala. Since the day is a national holiday in observance of Martin Luther King, Everyone should be off from work and make it their business to go to this Rally. Not only for the Tea Party movement, but also for the sake of this great country. I know there are many in the Marion County area that feel the same as I do about the direction of this country and as Americans, we need to show support so the media will take notice. At the same time, we (Libertarians) need to be heard at this rally. I spoke with Alex Snitker (Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate) and he said that he was waiting for a reply from Mary or Butch (Tea Party Solutions), to speak at the event. Hopefully he will get the opportunity to do so.

The Tea Party movement has come so far in just a short time. Libertarians can and will do the same.
