Sandy Adams / John Mica; Where They Differ

By Peter Lee

Due to redistricting, 10 term incumbent John Mica appears to have indicated that he will challenge 1st term incumbent Sandy Adams in the new Congressional district 7.

The transportation committee, which John Mica chairs, is one of the most powerful and lucrative committees in Washington DC. Mica’s PAC support and direct financial contributions is expected to fully dwarf those of Sandy Adams.

Source; John Mica Informs Donors He Will Challenge Sandy Adams In New D7

By Tom Tillison

Sources report that Rep. John Mica is calling donors to inform them that he plans to run in the newly drawn Congressional District 7. This is the same district Rep. Sandy Adams has already announced she is running in.

If the reports are proven to be correct, the freshman Congresswoman will find herself up against the ten term veteran lawmaker who was named the 9th most powerful person in Central Florida by the Orlando Sentinel.

Webster; ‘Do More With Less’

Webster; ‘Do More With Less’

The Webster Wire

This week, several initiatives passed the House of Representatives with my support that encourage Washington to do more with less.

Since Central Floridians granted me the privilege of serving them in Congress, I have fought to change the way business is done and to finally show real respect on behalf of hardworking taxpayers…

Florida GOP Senator Joins The Obama Team!

By James Lampe

Senator Latvala is an intelligent experienced politician who has gained power and seniority, and at this point in his career he is used to getting his own way. He has influence, and knows how to use it.

Unfortunately, as a leader he’s like a political Lex Luther; you never know what his true intent is until it’s too late.

The Mess In MetroWest

The Mess In MetroWest

By Matthew Falconer

In 1995 I moved my family to the “MetroWest” area of Orlando. MetroWest was and is a beautiful planned community with over 1800 acres and great views of the golf course.

Over 10,000 people live in MetroWest in communities ranging from apartments, to town-homes to gated communities. The mismanagement of this community has hurt its reputation and wasted hundreds of thousands of residents’ dollars…

Orlando Imam Pleads Guilty To Felony Gun Charge

By Alan Kornman

Imam Marcus Dwayne Robertson is a convicted violent felon who sold out his Muslim partners in crime for a reduced sentence in 1994-95. Robertson is now pleading guilty to a felony gun charge that any good lawyer could have easily gotten him an acquittal in a full trial.

Nothing seems to add up in this case as to why Orlando’s favorite felon Imam would plead not guilty and then suddenly plead guilty to a felonious gun charge that could net him 10 years in prison

Where Is Earl K.?

By Matthew Falconer

Earl K. Wood makes $153,082 each year for his work Orange County Tax Collector.

Wood “tries” to make it into the office three times a week and admittedly works just ten hours per week. Wood “met” with his second in command 17 times in a four month period that averages just over once a week.

Of Condoms And Coppertone, Or Maternity And Melanoma

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

By Alan Kornman

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…
