Tom Tillison – Blogger Of The Year Award
It’s Time To Write About The Writer…
By
THE FLORIDA POLITICAL PRESS FAMILY
It’s a dirty trick to sneak an article past the Editor-In-Chief and publish it without his knowledge, but there comes a time when being such dirty tricksters is appropriate, and this is one of those times.
The Florida Political Press family is proud to report that something very special happened this week to one of our own – Editor-In-Chief, Tom Tillison.
A dedicated and consummate writer, whose natural talent for phrasing and framing the important news of the day, Tom was honored on Tuesday for his work ethic and his unwavering integrity by the Florida Chapter of Americans For Prosperity, as the “2011 Blogger of the Year” – and for this well earned acknowledgment of our friend and associate Tom Tillison, we could not be more thrilled.
Tom Tillison – 2011 Blogger of the Year Award
Tom was presented with this prestigious award at the well attended AFP “Keep ‘Em Honest” Banquet in Tallahassee before an audience of over 100 Tea Party members and leaders from across Florida, and a distinguished list of guest speakers and dignitaries including 2012 Presidential Candidate Herman Cain, Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos, former State Senator Cary Baker, AFP National President Tim Phillips and AFP Florida State Director, Apryl Marie Fogel.
What makes this award so meaningful to those of us who know Tom Tillison best, up close and personal, is that we see him as an uncompromising and devoted scribner of the truth; and, a writer who strives to put journalistic integrity above all else, no matter how powerful or influential the people are in his articles and no matter what the subject.
Tom Tillison, we of the Florida Political Press family, tip our coffee mugs to you in congratulations. It is our honor to work with you and to consider you our friend.
Well done, Tom…
You earned it.
Well deserved accolades to Tom! I must say that I get current, relative news from Tom’s blogs at Florida Political Press! I sign up for the daily updates to stay up with the latest developments in our state.
Congratuations Tom T! You are an inspiration to all of us and your dedication to the movement is appreciated more than you know. You have helped the tea party movement achieve some of our early goals and I for one know the hard work that you put in behind the scenes. You are a fighter for the future of this country and on behalf of the West Orlando Tea Party and my children, I want to thank you. I also would like to thank Jason, Babs, and Clyde for their tremendous efforts as well. I could name many more but don’t have the time…
Keep up the great work!!
WAY TO GO, TOM!
Congratulations. You covered one of the pivotal moments in America history, the 2009-???? Tea Party movement. Nice professional reporting.
Tom,
This is an award that was earned, not given. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated by all within the Tea Party movement. I can now say, I knew you when! Enjoy your moment in the sun you deserve it.
Congratulations Tom! This is an award that is well deserved. Your dedication to this project is a thread of hope to those who are watching, reading and promoting the Florida Political Press. We will continue to educate and inform with this blog as it’s source. Todd C.
Congratulations!! We all knew you were doing a great job here, but it is nice to see you are being recognized wide and far. You bring to us on a daily basis the kind of cutting edge truthful political information we need! Ron J.
I look forward to your articles. Thank you for sharing your talent for writing. You are an important voice for the tea party movement, ever vigilant in shining light on the darkest corners of our government. This is a reward you deserve! Thank you for your service!
We are so proud of you, Tom. You have remained steadfast in researching and reporting the truth. We appreciate all your efforts to make sure that the voice of the people was heard in the Florida Transportation Hearing.
By doing so, your efforts resulted in the opportunity for Sharon and Karen to testify in the Congressional Hearing. This is just one of the many ways you have been such an intregal part of exposing the travesties of the legislative agendas and equipping us to counter those efforts.
Major kudos to you.
Much deserved! Congratulations Tom.
Congratulations Tom! I am proud to know an outstanding Patriot like you.
