Dear Guest Guest,


Authentic.

 

It was another packed house last Tuesday evening for our featured speaker, Manatee County Commissioner for District 1, James Satcher. It was a long evening too as almost a dozen audience members questioned the Commissioner on a variety of issues. Throughout the discussion, James offered well considered insights which revealed his true Conservative beliefs. He is certainly an honest and sincere representative for Manatee County's most rural district.

We sincerely appreciate the Commissioner's participation and look forward to having him join us for future presentations.

We have recorded the entire evening and uploaded the video to the "Past Meetings Videos" page on our website, which may be accessed by clicking this link.

Convention of States Speaker Next Week



Next week Jonathan Viaud, the Regional Director for the Convention of States organization, will be on hand to discuss the benefits of having a convention during our meeting on June 6. This is in stark contrast to Michael Sabga's recent presentation. So come and listen to this alternative view on a crucial topic.
