Grayson Ads Placed By Florida Tea Party Consultant Questioned

June 23, 2010 Local, Political News 7 Comments

graysonEditor’s Note - WKMG Local 6 reporter Tony Pipitone uncovers further financial connections between Florida TEA Party consultant Doug Guetzloe and Alan Grayson, leaving little doubt that an ongoing relationship exists between the two. 

Many in the tea party movement have always suspected as much and the outstanding reporting by Pipitone confirms these fears.

It’s very clear that Grayson, with Guetzloe’s assistance, is attempting to circumvent the will of the people of district 8…not qualified to speak to the legality of Grayson’s actions, however, it doesn’t require a law degree to see that it’s a crime against morality.

 

Grayson Ads Placed By Florida Tea Party Consultant Questioned

ORLANDO, Fla. — The radio station owner who removed the Florida Tea Party’s top consultant from the airwaves this week said he is informing U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of irregularities in political advertising agreements the party consultant submitted to the station.

WEUS-810 AM owner Carl Como said the station received a check from a company controlled by the Florida Tea Party’s top consultant, Doug Guetzloe, for Grayson campaign ads. But Como cancelled the morning-drive ad buy because Guetzloe refused to produce signed documents stating the Grayson campaign authorized the $750 purchase.

Grayson said Guetzloe has played no role with anyone in his campaign, but refuses to explain how that could be true if, as Como claims, Guetzloe paid for the Grayson ads with a check from Advantage Consultants.

Advantage Consultants is a fictitious name registered to Ax the Tax Inc., a for-profit corporation controlled by Guetzloe, with Florida Tea Party Chairman Fred O’Neal as its corporate secretary, according to state records.

It appears to be another financial link between Grayson and top Florida Tea Party leaders, a link Grayson denies — even after Local 6 Monday documented $20,000 passing from his campaign to a company created by a Florida Tea Party state house candidate with help from Guetzloe.

He’s the co-founder of the Central Florida Tea Party Council, co-founder and Editor-In-Chief of the Orlando Political Press and serves on the steering committee for the West Orlando Tea Party.

    Let’s see: “doesn’t require a law degree to see that it’s a crime against morality.” That in the same sentence as the name Grayson. Hmmm…. Suprised? NO!

    Alan Grayson is as slick as his hair looks in the picture above. Would you trust him to take care of your elderly parents life savings? Not me, in a million years. So why should we trust him to do the right thing for the people of the 8th District?

    DON’T!! It’s time for leadership. It’s time for someone to stand up to the political ruling class in this country. It’s time we had someone with values and principles willing to stand up for the ideal of freedom.

    Patricia Sullivan is that somebody!

  2. TerriD says:

    Thank you, Tony Pipitone, for having the courage and integrity to bring this issue to the public. You are doing the job reporters are meant to do. I hope Mr. Grayson’s current supporters will realize he is not the kind of legislator we need, and take a look at some of the other candidates. And when they do, I hope they’ll take a look at my candidate, Patricia Sullivan. Her public and private life is above reproach, and she was active in her community long before she decided to run for office. http://www.patriciasullivanforcongress.com

    Great artice! The truth will prevail! In light of that, our
    citizens who haven’t already discovered Patricia Sullivan (co-founder of the North Lake tea party movement…note the
    difference) need to check her out as she is running on the
    Republican ticket with strong conservative core principles.
    Patricia Sullivan Is running for Congress in Florida’s 8th
    Congressional District, and she has the best chance of beating her opponent. An active member of our community, she is well-known for many years of service in our area.
    She accomplishes things by the sweat of her brow, working
    alongside the people and for the people. She is a Patriot
    of great integrity and is held with the utmost respect by those
    who know her. Patricia has in depth knowledge and understanding of our Constitution, our nation’s true history, and of our Founding Fathers. She believes in keeping in line with a budget and in eliminating waste. As a home-schooling mom of four, she lives in the real world and
    understands what needs to be done to help our country
    get on track. Check out http://www.PatriciaSullivanForCongress.com
    Learn about Patricia Sullivan’s campaign and rejoice!
    Come join our Patriot army; we all need to support the
    candidates we truly admire who will put forth every ounce of their effort to get things straightened out.
    God bless America, and God bless Patricia Sullivan!

    This IS another example of the lack of character the leadership in the Fl-Tea Party has. These are the antics that mainstream Americans want removed from politics, Democrat, Republican, or FL-Tea Party!

    We need leadership that will REPESENT mainstream America with common sense. That is why I am supporting Patricia Sullivan for Congress FL-District 8 against Alan Grayson, Nancy Pelosi, Obama
    and their militant Progresseve/Socialist agenda!

  6. Todd C says:

    I just heard Peg Dunmire say, “I’m an adult. I am not being duped.”

    Peg, if that is the case you are no better than Grayson, Pelosi, Obama or Guetzloe.

    You are who you associate with. Now the word is out from your own lips.

Of Condoms And Coppertone, Or Maternity And Melanoma

By David Folsom

Much energy has been expended in the past few weeks regarding the Obama/Sebelius mandate that religious groups cover the full cost of contraceptives.

The administration came out with their version of “compromise” allowing the religious groups themselves exemption, but mandating that their insurers cover the cost. Great example of Democrats’ “compromise.”

‘Evolve Or Die’ Begins With A Heavy Dose Of Reality

By Tom Tillison

Ryan takes a hard hitting approach with Tea Party Express, but doesn’t follow suit with Tea Party Patriots, barely mentions Tea Party Nation, gives FreedomWorks a complete pass and there’s no mention whatsoever of the latest of what seems like an endless line of opportunists, TeaParty.net.

It seems unfair when you consider any one of the above is as detrimental as the other. In each case, don’t look too closely behind the mirror.

Maitland Holocaust Memorial Center and Hamas Supporter Exposed

On January 29, 2012 the Holocaust Memorial Resource & Education Center of Florida (HMREC) co-hosted an event with Sunni Imam Muhammad Musri of the Islamic Society of Central Florida. The event was; BESA – Albanian Muslim Rescuers During the Holocaust.

The Albanian “Bektashi” Muslims who saved 2,000 Jews during World War 2 were awarded the title, “Righteous Among the Nations” by the State of Israel. Righteous Among the Nations is an honorific title awarded to recognize non-Jews who risked their lives saving Jews from extermination by the Nazis…

Why, The Babies? Why?

By Lloyd Marcus

In their isolated inside the beltway arrogance, it appears the Obama administration did not anticipate the huge “blow back”, resulting from Obama’s decree that Catholic institutions provide birth control, abortion drugs and other contraceptive services.

This latest attack on the unborn is simply more of the same from Obama. As an Illinois Senator, Obama voted against the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act which authorized hospital staff to…

Hey Sucker, Who Do You Like In The Presidential Primary?

By Allen Wilson

Agendas don’t matter, programs don’t matter, legislation doesn’t matter until our representatives all are abundantly aware that we the people are willing to take control.

Once that fact is firmly ingrained in their psyche then we can get them to govern, to listen, and to act. Until then everything else is just background noise…
