Video; Central FL Tea Party Movement Addresses Republican Party

Orlando Tea Party
At Monday’s Republican Unity Rally held here in Orlando, the Central Florida tea party movement was given an opportunity to address a packed house on the upcoming November election. The rally was designed to heal any divide created during the gubernatorial primary election.
Rick Scott spoke to the gathering, which included D8 primary winner Dan Webster and his primary opponents, and D24 primary winner Sandy Adams. Florida Senate President-designate Mike Haridopolos and soon to be Florida House Majority Leader Dean Cannon were also part of the festivities.
After a very gracious introduction by OCREC Chairman Lew Oliver, I took the floor to introduce West Orlando Tea Party leaders Ron McCoy and Clyde Fabretti, as well as Mr. Jason Hoyt, who delivered a profound message on behalf of all tea party members. Sticking to the theme of unity, the focus was on success in the coming election. Success that is defined as replacing Alan Grayson and Susan Kosmas!
It was great to see OCREC open it’s doors to a “big tent” philosophy by including you and Jason with speaking time as Central Florida representatives of the Tea Party Movement.
Lew Oliver’s introduction was strong. You gave recognition to other local Tea Party Movement organizers in Greater Orlando and Patricia Sullivan was also representative of the North Lake Tea Party having strong run as a candidate for District 8.
The influence of the Orlando Political Press contributors are going to frame the conservative agenda in our area. Thank you for all you are doing.
I had to miss the meeting so I was glad to see the video. Thanks for posting and a big thank you to OCREC for allowing the Tea Party movement to have a voice at your meeting.
