Help needed Saturday

Andy Gardiner has been working hard to collect petitions to qualify for State Senate District 9.  He still needs about 1,000 petitions and could really use some volunteers to help him walk door-to-door in the precinct this Saturday.  If you are free, please come help Andy:

Saturday, April 5th

Panera Bread

296 E. Michigan Street

Meet at 9:30 a.m.

 

The walk will start around 10:00 a.m. and should wrap up around noon.  If you would like to participate, please e-mail Andy at electgardiner@aol.com.  (If you live in the district, they will make a map just for your neighborhood for you to walk)

 

We here at Next Generation Florida are proud to endorse Andy Gardiner for Senate District 9.  Thank you for your support of Andy’s campaign.

Central Florida Representatives Endorse Eisnaugle

Today, five members of the Central Florida Republican Delegation to the Florida House, Representatives Frank Attkisson, Chris Dorworth, Bryan Nel­son, Steve Precourt, and David Simmons, announced their endorsement of Eric Eisnaugle for State Representative, District 40.

 

Representative Steve Precourt stated, “I know both Andy Gardiner and Eric Eisnaugle well.  Eric shares Andy Gardiner’s conservative values and will continue to fight for the things that Andy has championed over the last eight years.  I am sure that the entire Central Florida Republican delegation looks forward to Eric joining us in our efforts to improve the quality of life in our great State.”

 

Representative Nelson said, “I have known Eric and his wife Carrie for the last several years and have been impressed with their core values.  Eric is an exceptional leader who understands the need to address the increase in juvenile and gang-related crime and has the qualifications to get the job done.”

 

Representative Frank Attkisson stated, “I know that Eric Eisnaugle is a true, principled conser­vative.  We need Eric’s leadership in the Florida House.”

 

 “Eric is a pro-business conservative and one of the hardest working people I know.  I intend to help him get elected because he’s the right guy for the job.  He will serve the voters of District 40 well,” added Representative Dorworth.  Representative Simmons noted, “Eric Eisnaugle is an excellent candidate and will represent us well in the Florida House.”

 

“I am honored to have the support of these Central Florida Representatives, and look forward to working with them to tackle challenges like reducing crime, reforming our property tax and in­surance systems, improving education, and stimulating Florida’s economy” said Eric Eisnaugle.

 

Next Generation Florida congratulates Eric on these significant endorsements.  Part of the reason we are so enthusiastically supporting Eric’s campaign is because we know he will work well with the other members of the Central Florida Republican Delegation and be a great representative for our area.  These endorsements are proof of that.

Fundraiser for Eric Eisnaugle

Eric Eisnaugle, who is proudly endorsed by Next Generation Florida (and now the Florida Chamber of Commerce, see below), is having a fundraiser at the GrayRobinson law firm in downtown Orlando:

March 27, 2008
5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

GrayRobinson
301 E. Pine St., Suite 1400
Orlando, FL 32801

An RSVP to Eric@ElectEric.org is appreciated but not required.

If you haven’t yet had the privilege of meeting Eric, we encourage you to come by this event and get to know a candidate who we are confident has a long and successful political career ahead of him. The reason Eric has the enthusiastic support of so many community leaders and organizations is because he embodies the common sense, pro-family, fiscally responsible ideals of good Republican government.

Finally, we are approaching the end of this fundraising period (First Quarter 2008 ends on March 31, 2008). Your contribution will have a much greater impact now than it would next month. We would really appreciate your support of Eric’s campaign during these next few crucial weeks. If you have any questions about the campaign finance rules, or would like to support Eric but can’t attend this event, please contact us at NextGenerationFL@gmail.com and we will get you the information you need.

The purchase of a ticket for, or a contribution to, the campaign fund raiser is a contribution to the campaign of Eric Eisnaugle. The maximum contribution is $500.00 per individual or company.

Please join us in congratulating Eric on this wonderful endorsement!

The Hillary Clinton horror movie: Zombie Bats From Ohio!

Check out this hysterical article by Andrew Sullivan, published in a British paper, The Sunday Times, about the Clintons never-say-die campaign…

 

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/andrew_sullivan/article3510778.ece

 

In one short article, he manages to describe the junior Senator from New York as like Glenn Close’s psycho character in Fatal Attraction, the “melting metal” Terminator from the 2nd movie, and in one particularly funny passage, zombie bats from Ohio…

 

The Clintons have always had a touch of the zombies about them: unkillable, they move relentlessly forward, propelled by a bloodlust for Republicans or uppity Democrats who dare to question their supremacy. You can’t escape; you can’t hide; and you can’t win. And these days, in the kinetic pace of the YouTube campaign, they are like the new 28 Days Later zombies. They come at you really quickly, like bats out of hell. Or Ohio, anyway.

Fun times

I have to admit I am enjoying the continuing nuclear meltdown that the national Democratic party is experiencing as they attempt to pick a Presidential nominee.  The two Senators are exchanging the lead in the crucial “who has momentum” battle on a seemingly-hourly basis and may be unable to resolve this mess until their convention in August.  Awesome. 

 

Just wanted to remind everyone of some words from Ronald Reagan, “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor.” 

 

We have our Republican nominee.  Now is the time to come together.
