Let's Win District 2!
The Primaries are over and the battlelines are drawn. We have two exceptional candidates running for positions in District 2: Cindy Spray in a runoff election with Harold Byrd Jr for School Board, and Amanda Ballard facing incumbent Reggie Bellamy for the County Commissioner seat.
You know both to be conservative, faithful and true Patriots. Both are certainly deserving of your vote. Both races are essential if we have any hope of improving the lives of our neighbors and their children in District 2.
But they can't do it alone! District 2 has more Democrat than Republican voters with a large base of voters with No Party Affiliation. So we need to help Cindy and Amanda spread the message that conservative values help ALL Floridians.
To that end, we have created a short form to allow you to sign up to help our great candidates. We need all talents: from canvassing, to sign waving, graphics design, whatever your passion and skills we have a place for you! So please click on the button below and let's win District 2! | | | |

After all the excitement and merriment of the election results for Candidates for County Commission Jason Bearden and Michael Rahn most people think, Aha, the sitting commissioners were defeated now they become County Commissioners correct? Well....Yes and No.
Both Jason Bearden and Michael Rahn will once again face the voters on November 8th with their names on the ballot and a blank space for the "Write In" Candidates they face. Yes you heard that right...they alone will have their names on the ballot but there is a line as well for voters should they actually take the time to find the opposing candidates, spell their names correctly, AND cast their vote for them on Election Day November 8th. Though their names will not be on the ballot each of these Commissioners (elect) has Write-in opposition. Jason Bearden faces Robert Lesher and Manuel Antonio Llamas. Michael Rahn faces Daniel Hensen and Timothy Norwood. | | | | from Rich Owens Sarasota 40 Days for Life Fall Campaign Kickoff
Defenders of Life,
Our Sarasota Kickoff will be held on Wednesday September 28th, at 10:30am in the CPCI parking lot at 1419 7th Street Sarasota, around the corner from Planned Parenthood.
We rejoice with the overturning of Roe v Wade. The national battle has been won! Now Americans have 51 (including DC) battles at the state level to protect the dignity of the unborn. Given the national attention that the overturning of Roe has brought to our country it is critical that we remember the women and men who have been hurt by abortion and need healing, whether they are three months post-abortion or 40 years post-abortion.
We have a great guest speaker who can help us learn how to help/where to direct people who are hurting. Lisa Rowe, CEO of Support after Abortion will be our guest speaker. Her bio is below. https://supportafterabortion.com/
Please invite everybody for this first Post-Roe Kickoff event! Hope to see you there!!

Join Us Wednesday September 7th!
The Virginia Fair Elections (VFE) Coalition is hosting a special election integrity workshop via Zoom this week, September 7th, at 7PM on The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). ERIC was allegedly established to help make voter rolls more accurate. In reality, the primary effect of ERIC is to grow the voter rolls by converting potentially eligible but unregistered (EBU) persons into registered voters. States send Personal Identifiable Information (PII) to ERIC for all registered voters but also for all people who have completed a transaction at the DMV -- even if they have decline to register to vote. In some states, ERIC also collects additional information on unregistered people from other agencies like Department of Human Services, Department of Aging and Department of Family Services. FOIA records reveal that ERIC shares private data of these EBUs with an organization that was funded by Mark Zuckerberg. |

Please join VFE on Wednesday to learn details from special guest Heather Honey about the Verity Vote investigation! |

Advance registration is required to join the workshop. |

After registering, you'll receive a confirmation email containing the necessary details to join the training workshop. |
