I am Jon Susce the Publisher of Sarasota Phoenix Media Inc. We are currently being sued by a political operative Anthony Pedicini. Pedicini is using the legal system with "lawfare" tactics to damage or delegitimize Jon Susce and the Sarasota Phoenix. They are wasting their time and money. In using lawfare tactics, Pedicini has access to the $ millions from Pedicini PACs and LLCs and from the Florida Republican establishment centered in Tallahassee. This is a standard tactic deployed to damage or delegitimize their opponents. Mr. Susce and the Sarasota Phoenix need these vital funds to continue to take on the likes of Pedicini and this lawfare lawsuit.

THE LEFT RADICAL FACE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY SHOWS UP AT NEW COLLEGE DEMONSTRATIONN

If anyone had any doubt what former President Bill Clinton's pollster Mark Penn recently stated that the left base of Democrat Party has maintained its base while moderates are leaving the party in mass numbers, it was exemplified by Ruth Beltran of the Party of Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and Sarah Parker of Voices of Florida firing up the over 200 at a New College event in Sarasota on 3/20/2025.
If anyone had doubted why the Democrat Party ratings are down 29%, and the Party is in political wilderness the way the Labour Party in England was for a decade, it is examplified by the recently elected Sarasota Republican State Committeewoman Parker's organization promoting along with the PSL the demonstration at New College.
Harmon
Beltran and Parker led organizer's at New College were protesting President Donald Trump's Border Czar Tom Harmon speaking at New College before an immigration panel stating his efforts to curb illegal immigration and human trafficking. Harmon speaking at the event credited Trump’s recent border security measures with a “96% decline” in illegal crossings within six weeks, contrasting it with what he called the Biden administration’s failures.
The PSL was teamed up with Parker's organization to protest Homan appearance, which is called the Voices of Florida led by Sarasota County Democrat Party State Committeewoman Sarah Parker.

Beltran and Wallace's Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a publicly known Communist organization founded in San Fransico in 2004 with organizations in over 90 cities in the United States. The PSL Central Committee issued the following statement on the 15-year anniversary of the PSL. The founding convention took place on June 18-20, 2004.
''The PSL is more determined than ever to fight for socialism and build a revolutionary movement to bring it into existence. As socialism becomes the aspiration of a huge and growing section of society, our goal is to give sharper definition to this idea and train a new generation of working class and oppressed people to lead the fight."

Edwards and Parker
The Sarasota Democrat County State Committeewoman Parker was the leader of another organization called Women of SW Florida, who teamed up with left wing Democrat Sarasota County School Board member Tom Edwards in grooming high school students to demonstrate outside Sarasota County School Board meetings promoting a Democrat/LGBTQ WOKE agenda.

The former New York native Edwards and fellow School Board member from Washington D.C, Liz Barker are part of the liberal radical socialist Democrat Party working together with the EQUALITY FLORIDA and LGBTQ organizations to promote Democrat radical Lesbian/ Gay/Bisexual/ Transgender/Queer (LGBTQ) agenda for Sarasota County Schools.
Edwards has made a promise of “WORKING FROM THE INSIDE” promoting the LGBTQ WOKE agenda publicly to his radical left-wing socialist liberal supporters calling former President Donald Trump voters, "NAZIS".
Edwards and a few others have been financing an organization called Social Equity and Education Initiative (SEE) to train young high school students to demonstrate at local school board meetings, which has caused chaos and disruption.

Lisa Schurr has put together SOS as a so-called grassroots organization to take on America First activists, but since Schur's led SOS "grassroots" organization was having trouble putting together a crowd with members, SOS joined together with Parker's organization and LGBTQ political operatives operating out the local Democrat Party headquarters.

IT IS WAY PAST TIME FOR THOSE OBJECTING TO THE POLICIES INITIATED BY THE TRUMP ADMISTRATION TO WAKE UP TO THE AGENDA OF RUTH BELTRAN'S PSL AND THE SARASOTA COUNTY DEMOCRAT STATE COMMITTEEWOMAN SARAH PARKER VOICES OF FLORIDA. THEY ALSO NEED TO ASCERTAIN WHO FUNDS BELTRAN'S PSL AND PARKER'S VOICES OF FLORIDA
COULD IT BE COMMUNIST CHINA?
"Governor DeSantis has prioritized the eradication of the Chinese Communist Party's interference in Florida. Under Governor DeSantis' leadership, Florida delivered the strongest posturing in the nation to confront economic, strategic, and security threat-the Chinese Communist Party," his spokesperson told Newsweek.
