Thank
you all
for your
recent
support
&
encouragement.
This
week-end
of
Saturday
May
15th. to
and
including
Monday,
17th.
was
hectic:
I went
down to
Orlando
to
attend
The
Family
Council
dinner
Sat.
night at
the
Rosen
Centre,
where I
bushwhacked
Marco
Rubio
(he was
the
featured
speaker)
and gave
him my
card. I
told
him:
"Pleased
to meet
you ...
I'm your
competitor."
He was
startled,
and
said:
"Good
luck!"
(See the
photo
above:)
The kid
has got
me beat
in
height
and good
looks,
but he
is not
in my
league
as a
Conservative
or
Orator!
(I say
that
with all
due
respect).
After
Rubio's
helpers
put out
his
campaign
literature
on the
seats
and
tables,
I went
around,
placed
my stuff
on top
of his
and
introduced
myself
to the
guests
as "Plan
B." They
were
very
receptive
and I
made a
number
of
excellent
contacts!
Sunday I
attended
church
at the
incredible
R.C.
Orlando
Basilica
and took
Les to
Disney.
(She
drove
all the
way down
AND back
~ mostly
because
she
really
liked
the
rental
after
driving
my
rather
beat-up
wheels
all
week!)
Unfortunately
we did
not see
Mickey
nor
Donald
and were
greatly
saddened
to
learn of
Mr.
Toad's
untimely
passing.
But Les
had a
great
time
with
Jack
Sparrow!
Monday
morning
I had a
stiff
interview
with the
Editorial
Board of
the
Orlando
Sentinel
who
claimed
they'd
seen my
U-Tube
Video on
a "White
Supremacy"
site.
(Denied).
They
also
asked me
what I
thought
about
Jews?
("Jesus
Christ
was a
Rabbi,"
I
replied:
"Case
closed").
Finally,
they
tried to
pin me
on my
statements
that "It
APPEARS
Obama is
attempting
to
destroy
America."
("That's
my fear;
that's
what the
evidence
suggests",
I
retorted).
Anyhow
they
should
have a
video on
their
site at
some
point.
It was
good
practice.
(Thanks
to all
of you
who
advised
me to
go).
Finally
I went
up to
Jacksonville
Monday
afternoon
to the
Republican
Executive
Committee
meeting.
They had
decided
to
(prematurely)
endorse
Rubio,
then
changed
their
minds
and took
a straw
poll
instead,
But they
gave the
candidates
an
opportunity
to speak
first.
Rubio
sent an
agent. I
got five
minutes.
I did
well
enough
to beat
Charlie
Crist in
the
straw
poll (no
surprise,
eh?) and
come in
second
behind
Rubio.
Here's a
link to
a video
of one
of the
Exec.
Committee.
Members
who
changed
his vote
in my
favor!
