LOCAL GRASSROOTS CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WILL DRAIN THE SWAMP OF NEALS JUNTA LACKEYS
NEAL AND HIS GANGSTER JUNTA HAS STUFFED REC LEADERSHIP LACKEYS IN THEIR POCKETS
Neal
FORMER JIMMY CARTER DEMOCRAT - NEAL- TAKES CONTROL OF SARASOTA COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
The defeat of Single Member Districts (SMD) has sent a clear message to those in the leadership of the Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee (REC): that stuffing the REC into the pockets of "Pay to Play" Gangster developers led by Pat Neal has alienated the grassroots of the local Republican Party.
BRILL/GRUTERS/ZIEGLER TURNS REC INTO ASTRO TURF ORGANIZATION
Jack Brill stacking the membership of the Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee (REC) with his minions has turned the REC into an astro turf organization. Neal's lackeys running the REC spent $45,000 to hire doorknockers from Las Vegas to canvas taking down SMD.
SMD FALSE NARRATIVE
Once again, the false narrative that SMD was a Democrat led initiative was destroyed, as Conservative Republican activists joined in a nonpartisan effort to take down Neal and his cronies' efforts to turn Sarasota into Paradise lost.
DRAIN THE SWAMP OF NEAL'S LACKEYS
The sellout of the leadership of the REC to Neal and his fellow gangsters to take down SMD, has now led to grassroots Conservative Republicans efforts to drain the swamp of the Neal's JUNTA lackeys.
REC LEADERSHIP IN NEAL'S "PAY TO PLAY" GANGSTER DEVELOPER POCKETS
Local Republican grassroots activists have now begun to realize that Neal and his "Pay to Play" Gangster Developers have stuffed the leadership of the REC in their pockets beginning in 2018 with a $50,000 Neal contribution to a Joe Gruters PAC.
Since then, Neal and his fellow gangsters have stuffed in their pockets the Vice Chairman of the REC (Jack Brill), Florida State Senator, and Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (Joe Gruters) and Sarasota County Commissioner and Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (Christian Ziegler).
BRILL/GRUTERS/ZIEGLER SOLD OUT TO NEAL WHO HATES TRUMP
Cafeteria Conservative Brill along with Gruters and Ziegler, who profess to be strong Donald Trump supporters sold out to Neal who hates Trump for the proverbial 30 pieces of silver.
The political fossil Neal has called former President Trump " just a rich, obnoxious, high roller" and views Trump "as an incredibly vulgar candidate who is leading our party off a cliff.” Neal is raising $millions for Governor Ron DeSantis hoping he beats Trump, becomes president, and appoints this documented gangster ambassador to the Bahamas.
NEAL'S REC LEADERSHIP LACKEYS DEFEATED
It has now become obvious the Neal and his "Pay to Play" Gangster developers having corrupted the local REC leadership as they have deviously corrupted Sarasota County government, Republican Conservatives have repudiated and defeated the REC leadership lackeys of Neal and his fellow gangsters.
NEAL'S JUNTA FINANCED CAMPAIGN TO TAKE DOWN SMD
The recent failure to take down Single Member District was a major defeat for the leadership of the local REC and the "Pay to Play" Gangster developers led by Neal, who put major money into defeating SMD.
Of the over $165,000 to take down SMD in the Gruters, Ziegler and Brill led campaign, $85,000 came from Randy Benderson, $75,000 from Rex Jensen, $20,000 from Carlos Beruff, $10,000 from Joel Schleicher and $35,000 from Neal.
Although it was a defeat of REC leadership, who has allowed the former Jimmy Carter Democrats Neal and his JUNTA to control the REC, it was a major victory for the grassroots Republican activists.
NEAL--A FORMER JIMMY CARTER DEMOCRAT FLORIDA LEGISLATOR
Ironically, Neal is a former Jimmy Carter Democrat who was a Democrat Florida State legislator for 12 years before getting defeated by a Reagan Conservative Republican in 1986.
NEAL AND HIS GANGSTER JUNTA HAS STUFFED REC LEADERSHIP IN THEIR POCKETS -- LOCAL REPUBLICAN GRASSROOTS EFFORTS COMPROMISED
This $165,000 Neal JUNTA financed campaign to defeat SMD led by Gruters, Ziegler and Brill have put in question the future effectiveness of local Republican grassroots activists. The REC leadership depending on Neal's Junta money to buy mercenaries to carry the message can compromise future REC grassroots efforts.
REC'S LAS VEGAS DOOR KNOCKERS
For example, Ziegler's led campaign to take down SMD was unable to enlist local Republican door knockers. Brill, Gruters and Ziegler had to use $45,000 of Neal's JUNTA money to pay for Las Vegas based door knocker mercenaries to go door to door to canvas to take down SMD.
SMD MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR NEAL AND HIS GANGSTERS TO BUY ELECTIONS
The defeat of SMD was a defeat for Neal and his "Pay to Play" Gangster developers because in County-wide elections Neal and his gangsters can buy elections much easier than in District wide elections.
RETAINING SMD IS MAJOR DEFEAT FOR ZIEGLER
The SMD was also a major defeat for Ziegler. First, a defeat of SMD meant an easy county-wide re-election victory for Ziegler. With a single district, Ziegler will now face a difficult Republican primary in August.
ZIEGLER TAKEN OUT BY JACKSONVILLE CONSULTANT
Ziegler was also embarrassed by a consultant out of Jacksonville, who put together a coalition of grassroots activists, who were all equally fed up with Neal and his "Pay to Play" Gangster Developers JUNTA.
POLITICAL OBSERVERS STUNNED BY NEAL'S JUNTA FINANCED CAMPAIGN
Local political observers were stunned by the defeat of Ziegler, Gruters, Brill led campaign financed by Neal's Junta. They were stunned not only by the retention of SMD, but by the margin of victory. SMD won by over 15%, which is near "landside" proportions.
Equally stunning was the coalition put together a little over $60,000 to retain SMD, compared to the over $165,000 by the Neal JUNTA financed campaign.
The Neal Junta financed campaign included $30,000 for signs, $22,000 for text messages, $68,000 for print messages to promote SMD and that $45,000 for Las Vegas mercenary door knockers.
In contrast, the coalition's $60,000 to retain SMD included $9,000 for signs, $13,000 for robo calls, $32,000 for a consultant, which included messaging distributed in Sarasota County.
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS URGED VOTERS TO RETAIN SMD AND DRAIN SWAMP OF NEAL'S JUNTA OF PAY TO PLAY GANGSTER DEVELOPERS
Despite a false narrative put out by the REC leadership, who are deep in the pockets of Neal and his JUNTA of Gangster "Pay to Play" developers, there are leading local conservative Republicans who were eager to see the local swamp drained of Neal and his cronies.
Hutchinson
HUTCHINSON VOTED "NO" TO END SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS
Mike Hutchinson, who ran for the Sarasota County Commission in 2020 against Neal's handpicked candidate Mike Moran, is among those who were and continue to be adamant that single member districts should remain.
Moran is a Sarasota County Commissioner stuffed in Neal's Junta pockets with hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions. Hutchison was defeated by Moran by less than 500 votes. Hutchinson will most likely run again for Sarasota County Commissioner in 2024.
Coe
COE VOTED "NO" TO END SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS
Another strong supporter of SMD and leading Republican grassroots Conservative is Alex Coe. Coe is a member of the Sarasota County Charter Review, Chair of Republican Liberty Caucus, Vice Chair at Suncoast Commission on the Status of Women SCSW and Cultural Sustainability Policy Advisor at Livable Planet Consulting.
Hawkins
HAWKINS VOTED "NO" TO END SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS
Mark Hawkins is a Republican Conservative running in District 2 for Sarasota County Commissioner. He promoted SMD, as he prepped for the Republican primary race against another of the Neal JUNTA's handpicked candidates, Joe Neunder. Neunder has already raised over $130,000 in campaign contributions from RINO Neal and his JUNTA---FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Ramirez
RAMIREZ VOTED "NO" TO END SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS
Lourdes Ramirez, who twice lost to another handpicked Neal JUNTA candidate Al Maio in county-wide races, also came out to support SMD. Ramirez's former opponent, Maio, who used hundreds of thousands of Neal's gangsters' monies to defeat Ramirez in county-wide races, has voted for every project Neal and his "pay to play" developers put before him.
Those numerous projects, which Ramirez opposed, included the Benderson urban sprawl project at the corner of Stickney Point Road and US 41 and the hotel projects on Siesta Key, which will turn Siesta Key into another Miami Beach/Ft. Lauderdale.
Zoller
ZOLLER VOTED "NO" TO END SINGLE MEMBER DISTRICTS
Bill Zoller, a longtime Republican Conservative standing tall for years against Neal, Benderson and other Junta "Pay to Play" developers, was another vocal supporter of SMD.
NEAL AND HIS GANGSTER JUNTA HAVE ALIENATED GRASSROOT REPUBLICANS
AND TURNED REC INTO
TOOTHLESS ASTRO TURF ORGANIZATION
The efforts of local Republican Conservatives to join in a nonpartisan coalition to retain Single Member District (SMD) has sent a clear message to those in the leadership of the REC. A message that states stuffing the REC into the pockets of "Pay to Play" Gangster developers led by Neal has alienated the grassroots of local the Republican Party and turned the REC into a toothless astro turf organization.
