BARKER HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT-WING RADICAL LGBTQ/EQUALITY FLORIDA AGENDA
Barker apparently has no problem in accepting the LGBTQ/EQUALITY Florida radical liberal left-wing endorsement, which she sought. An organization, which promotes changing boys to girls and girls to boys and has no problem with Equity Florida agenda of allowing boys and men to compete against girls and women?'

The Sarasota Herald Tribune, who has been described by local conservative Republicans as a left wing liberal mouthpiece of the Democrat Party, failed to mention in their article of Barker’s endorsement by the radical left-wing liberal LGBTQ/EQUITY organization.
By the way, the SARASOTA PHOENIX, who has been reporting on Sarasota politics for over 15 years made three attempts to interview Barker, but no response from Barker .
LEFT WING LIBERAL ORGANAZIONS OPERATING OUT THE BASTION OF LOCAL RADICAL SOCIALISTS IGNORE LGBTQ PAC AND LLC CORRUPTING LOCAL POLITCAL PROCESS
Cathy Antunes, who operates a local radio show out Forgartyville in Downtown Sarasota where documented radical socialist Democrats congregate and like Edwards call conservative Republicans "fascists" has been pointing out how dark money has corrupted local politics.
But, Antunes says not a word about her endorsed Barker and Edwards are corrupting the local political system with dark money by attempting to buy two School Board positions.
When Antunes interviewed Barker and Edwards, Antunes asked not a word about thousands of dark money from LGBTQ PAC and LLC to the Barker and Edwards campaigns.
Learner/Antunes/Schurr pictured in liberal Washington Post article inflaming local cultural war
Antunes has been a supporter of Save Our School (S.O.S) co-founders and two other recently arrived liberal Democrats, Lisa Schurr from Connecticut and Carol Learner from New Jersey, who have been promoting the liberal Democrat LGBTQ takeover of the School Board the last three years. Antunes has spoken several times at recent school boards meetings in support of S.O.S attacks on conservative Republican School Board members.
Edwards WOKE supporters at Fortgartyville hear Edwards "works for them from the inside"
Forgartyville is where Antunes and other liberal Democrats broadcast from WSRL and gather, and where Edwards informed his followers that he was "working from the inside" to promote the Democrat LGBTQ agenda.
$THOUSANDS OF SOFT DARK PAC MONEY FROM STATE AND NATIONAL LGBTQ ORGANIZATIONS FUNNELNG INTO BARKER AND EDWARDS CAMPAIGNS
NATIONAL LGBTQ ORGANIZATIONS MOVING MONEY FROM PAC TO PAC TO LLC TO TAKE OUT ROSE AND RE-ELECT EDWARDS
The SHT has remained silent, as national and state LGBTQ organizations are funneling hundreds of thousands of soft dark money for Barker and Edwards to buy two local School Board positions.
Both Barker and Edwards campaigns are receiving thousands of dollars of dark in-kind contributions from a LGBTQ funded LLC out of Ft Lauderdale called, THE SCHOOL SANITY PROJECT managed by Jason Blank and Samantha Pollara.
THE SCHOOL SANITY PROJECT in turn is being funneled thousands of dollars from a national LGTQ organization out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania called AGENDA.
NATION WIDE LGBTQ ORGANIZATION-AGENDA-ENFLAMING SARASOTA CULTURE WAR
AGENDA, who is funding the School Sanity Project PAC and LLC was founded when several elected national LGBTQ Democrat officeholders and veteran national Democratic operatives joined forces to formed the AGENDA nation-wide organization that works to campaign against anti LGBTQ candidates.
Bordelon
The founder of the AGENDA organization is Ted Bordelon, a Philadelphia Democrat political communications strategist, who will also serve as the executive director. Malcom Kenyatta, Pennsylvania’s first openly gay State Representative of color serves as chairman.
According to NBC, “unlike groups such as Victory Fund, which are mainly focused on electing LGBTQ candidates, Agenda PAC plans to aggressively advertise against politicians they see as hostile to LGBTQ rights." Their first target was Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania’s Republican conservative nominee for governor.
Bordelon, who is based in Philadelphia, said the "group’s initial budget was in the six figures with a fundraising goal now expanding into the millions."
Celinda Lake, a prominent Democratic pollster, and Joe Trippi, a longtime Democratic consultant who most recently has worked with the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, serve as senior advisers.
The LGBTQ AGENDA ORGANIZATION HAS BRANCHED OUT NATIONWIDE
AGENDA HAS BRANCHED OUT NATION-WIDE WTH SARASOTA BEING A TARGET
Executive Director Bordenelon stated, “This is a national effort that started in our backyard and now branching out nationwide." In branching "out nation-wide" AGENDA have branched out to Sarasota by financing The School Sanity Project based in Ft. Lauderdale, which is actively supporting Barker and Edwards.
The Project is managed by Jason Blank and Samantha Pollara, who are both operating out of Ft. Lauderdale. Blank is the registered agent and Pollara is the Chairperson and Treasurer.
Buttigieg
Pollara previously served as the Florida Finance Director for the LGBTQ liberal Democra Pete Buttigieg‘s presidential campaign. She also worked on finance for Democrat liberal Betty Castor's Tampa mayoral campaign
Kenyatta who calls Rose a "bigot" and Barker & Edwards "incredible" LGBTQ candidates"
Concerning branching out in Sarasota, “We are going after the beatable bigots,” Chairman Kenyatta said. “Sometimes those beatable bigots are running against "incredible LGBTQ candidates.”
A Philadelphia politician calling Sarasota Republican conservative's "bigots" and calling Barker and Edwards "incredible LGBTQ candidates" has as enflamed the ongoing local culture war.
BLANK LAUNDERED DIRTY DARK SOFT MONEY TO TAKE DOWN CASTOR CRITIC
Blank, as mentioned in a previous SARASOTA PHOENIX article laundered $105,000 from three of his PAC into a PAC called Comite Politco to put together attack flyers to take out a critics of Democrat liberal Mayor Betty Castor, Tampa City council member, Lynn Hurtak. The $105,000 Blank PAC money included $36,000 from Mayor Castor and $5,000 from the Lavender Republican political operative, Anthony Pedicini.
Barker and Edwards supporters Good and local political operative Kay Mathers
Blank is the Democrat political operative, who put together two PAC's for former liberal Democrat Florida State Representative Margaret Good. The two Blank PAC's included one for Good's unsuccessful run against U.S Congressman Vern Buchanan and the failed Build Local Power PAC.
Recent contributions and expenditures to the Ft. Lauderdale base School Sanity Project in support of Barker and Edwards see thousands of dollars in contributions raised, with thousands coming from the AGENDA PAC out of Philadelphia.
Expenditures see going to Lever Communications Inc. out of Whitman, Maryland and thousands of dollars to Bordelon and an AGENDA financed truck attacking Rose.
LGBTQ financed truck attacking Rose
The LGBTQ based Maryland LGBTQ media attack has targeted Rose to elect Barker with a vicious video attack on Rose and a truck driving around Sarasota County disparaging Rose. The national LGBTQ AGENDA media intent is to make Barker an "LGBTQ incredible candidate" running against what they call "a beatable bigot."
Brunni
Two years ago, in 2022 Republican America First grass roots organizer Connie Brunni was attacked by the SHT for driving around Sarasota promoting conservative Republican candidates--but in 2024--no comment from the SHT with the LGBTQ financed truck driving around attacking Rose..
The local LGBTQ organizations have not only been aided by the nationwide AGENDA organization, but other LGBTQ organization are flocking to Sarasota to take down family oriented Republican conservatives’ candidates with LGBTQ backed candidates like Barker and Edwards.
Edwards and Champion with Moricz and others at "SEE SPACE"
Those state and national LGBTQ organizations descending on Sarasota have been partnered up by Edwards and other local LGBTQ activists like Jason Champion and a few others, who have been financing an organization called Social Equity and Education Initiative (SEE).
Moricz pushing liberal radical Democrat LGBTQ agenda with followers demonstrating at Sarasota School Board meetings
The SEE organization is under the direction of Zander Moricz, who is training and grooming young high school students and others to demonstrate at local school board meetings causing chaos and disruptions at local Sarasota School Board meetings, as they promote the liberal Democrat LGBTQ agenda.
SEE’S self-appointed leader, Moritz is a 20-year-old dropout from Harvard returning to Sarasota to groom high school students and others to promote the Edwards reelection and the Barker election.
Schurr losing it leading a demonstration at a recent School Board meeting
S.O.S IN A COALITION WITH LGBTQ ORGANIZATIONS
Lisa Schurr, who spent years in the communist Soviet Union has been observed bringing back to Sarasota the communist tactics of near violent disruptions of public meetings. Schurr is the founder of the Save Our Schools (S.O.S) organization.
Schurr has been observed at various political events the last two years resembling a near crazed, near violent lead voice in attacking America First grassroots activists on behalf of Edwards, Barker and the LGBTQ agenda.
Schurr has now joined in a coalition with the LGBTQ School Sanity Project political organization and their political operatives out of Blank's office in Ft. Lauderdale.
HARPER/EDWRADS FOLLOWERS TURNING SCHOOL BOARD MEEETING INTO CHAOS AND VIOLENCE
STONEWALL DEMOCRAT LEADER ARESSTED AND CONVICTED FOR ASSULT
School Board meetings the past two years have seen supporters of Barker and Edwards financed by outside organizations and orchestrated by Edwards, Schurr, Moricz and other Democrat LGBTQ agitators turning School Board meeting into chaos and now violent.
A recent School Board meeting, a conservative Republican Florida State Representative candidate Michelle Pozzi was attacked by a follower of Barker and Edwards, who is one of Schurr's crazies who pack the meetings. The assault on Pozzi has resulted in a criminal assault conviction of Tearle, who is leader of the LGBTQ Stonewall Democratic Caucus.
All of these chaotic meetings are downplayed by the SHT and other left wing national media, who are obsessed in creating an ongoing local culture war. Not a word from Barker or Edwards to call off their supporters in just voting for the liberal Democrat/LBTQ agenda on election day, instead of inciting chaos, mayhem and violence.
