As many of you know, the First Coast Tea Party belongs to a Florida Statewide Tea Party Leaders Google Group.  We have been together for nearly two years now.  The group is a secured, confidential group and we discuss issues, thoughts and frustrations among tea party friends.  We do this to coordinate efforts in the state of Florida and bounce off ideas.

Today I was called by the press…

Just another day in paradise as we opened the Tiny Union this morning.  They were giving out awards to the winners and losers in the local election.  The list of losers and winners was an opinion of Mr. Harding, a columnist, not an investigative journalist. Again, the…

We wish Alvin Brown well and expect him to uphold his promise not to raise taxes.  We will wait and see how he responds to all citizens’ concerns and requests and how he will communicate with all the people of Duval County.

We also congratulate the winners of the City Council who won and meet the Conservative stance of the tea…

Lick your wounds, cry your tears, and man up.  We have work to do. 

And to the Tiny Union and those who said the…

The Mayor's Race had its own blog this morning and we did not want to miss the hearty congratulations to those who won City Council seats.

We informed the City Council members who voted to raise our taxes that we would see them at the polls. 

Last night our endorsed candidate, Matt Schellenberg (R) in City Council District 6 took the…

There is not a big win for either camp this morning.  The city is divided and the winner will come down to a few hundred votes. 

There will be accusations and yelling in a room filled with lawyers.  The Supervisor of Elections office will once again be thrown into the mix of political warfare as they look at every ballot cast.…

As I drove home last night from spending time with our Northside Community Chapter of the First Coast Tea Party, I was guided down I-95 by the light of the moon. 

The sky was blue-black…

With less than 24 hours to go, the Alvin Brown camp has brought out all their paid recruits to hit the streets.  They have been seen downtown walking two by two.  Trucks with out-of-town tags and Alvin Brown stickers are hauling them from corner to…

The left has brought in their paid help to hold their signs.  They have hired bus drivers to drive people to the polls.  They have walked neighborhoods to sign people up to vote.  They have wheeled in senior citizens to the polls to vote and helped them do so.  They have manipulated the minds of some of our own and convinced them they are conservative thinkers.  They have not answered tough questions nor met with you, the people, to hear our…

As I woke this morning, I had no idea if I should blog or not.  I don’t write unless I am compelled to do so.  When I walked in the kitchen, my husband handed me a cup of coffee with a big grin on his face.  He pointed to the paper and it was open to Mr. Sillypage’s Viewpoint column.  I knew then, I had something to write about!  (I tried to find the link on www.jacksonville.com but it was not there this morning.  Keep…

It’s Friday but Sunday Morning's Coming Down

You don’t normally get two postings in one day but this is the final weekend before Election Day – next Tuesday, May 17^th.  So here I am – forgive me, please.

I’m sure many of you have plans for the glorious weekend.  Some will be at the TPC (wear sunscreen), others will be working…

We have Golf Fever!  The TPC is here and you may hear the word “Fore!” many times in the next few days.  The term means “look ahead” and is shouted to send a warning to spectators. 

We have Election Fever!  The Duval County elections are only Four Days Away and we are shouting warnings to all those who live here.  We are hopeful they will look ahead and just imagine what our city will…

We are FIVE days away from the local election on May 17^th and an invasion of body snatchers is occurring all around town.

Vans with Alvin Brown stickers and out of town license…

The First Coast Tea Party is pleased to bring to Jacksonville, Dr. Matthew Spalding, Heritage Foundation Vice President of American Studies and author of "We still hold these Truths.” 

He will speak on Saturday, May 21^st , 12:00 noon until 2:00 PM about the value of America's founding principles. In the midst of frenzied efforts to remake our nation—of endless government…

We are 6 days away from Tuesday, May 17^th, the day we elect a new mayor and other new leaders.  This election will be one of the toughest this county has ever seen!

Did you know? 

• We have been infiltrated by outsiders who are walking neighborhoods to sign up their side to vote. 
• They have plans to haul bus loads of people to the…

Please see this attachment for a list of questions for Mr. Alvin Brown who would like to be the Mayor of Duval County

Alvin%20Brown%20Questions.docx

As Election Day gets closer, we see more of the underbelly of the world of politics and it isn’t pretty.   What is even uglier is the fact we have no journalist integrity in our hometown and we cannot get the information published about these candidates and their behaviors.

I hated to hear those words.  As a young girl, my father would ask that question to any young man who wanted to take me out on a date.  I would cringe to think my dad could be so ridiculous to ask that question.  I was so embarrassed but that was the way it was if a guy wanted to take me out.  No ifs, ands or buts were good enough for my dad.  You had to answer the first question that would then set off a string of other questions that were even more embarrassing. …

I received an email in the early hours today from Jim Nealis' wife, Grace.

She said, "Jim passed away this morning and I know how much he thought of all of you so wanted you to know ...love grace"

I have emailed Grace to find out more information and will report in when we have it.

Dr. Nealis was the FIRST speaker at the…

I was done.  I was disgusted.  I was irritable.  I’d had enough.

I pushed my lap top across the table in total frustration.  They had done it again.  Failed us!  The politicians had caved and they were trying to deflect blame by…
