Once again, Debbie takes evasive action to keep from answering tough questions regarding her support for President Obama’s liberal and anti-American policies. Earlier today, Debbie made an apperance on Fox News (VIDEO) and refused to give her position on the coments made by Jimmy Hoffa Jr. during a Teamsters rally. During the rally Hoffa Jr, said,” Let’s take these Son of a Bitches out”, clearly calling for violence towards the Tea Party movement, yet Debbie refused to direct any comment to his statement, let alone denounce it.

With her silence on the matter, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is telling the American people that she condones this type of violent behavior and rhetoric-this is who she is.

Please support my campaign to defeat Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her supporters who condone this type of un-American behavior.

Libertarian Chairman to Challenge REAL ID in Court Wednesday

September 6, 2011

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA – The State of Florida will be facing a legal challenge to the new driver’s license requirements as mandated by the Department of Homeland Security under the REAL ID Act.  Libertarian Party of Florida Chairman and syndicated radio talk host Adrian Wyllie was cited for driving without a license, and will argue that the new DL requirements force citizens to waive their Fourth Amendment rights in order to be granted the “privilege” of driving.

Wyllie surrendered his driver’s license on May 17, 2011, on the grounds that he refused to provide the personal documents required by REAL ID without a warrant.   Wyllie then called several law enforcement agencies to report he was driving without a license.  Despite his efforts, police ignored the violation.

That was until July 15, when Wyllie issued a challenge to Pinellas County Sheriff Jim Coats on his radio program to “Man up and pull me over.”  Within four hours, Wyllie’s vehicle was stopped by Pinellas deputies and he was ticketed.

“This case is a first step in nullifying REAL ID, and determining whether the Fourth Amendment is still applicable in America,” said Wyllie.

One of the components of the REAL ID Act is that States must acquire digital facial image captures which are compatible with facial recognition software, and upload them to a national database.  Wyllie says he has subpoenaed the administrator of the PCSO’s facial recognition network, and will dig deep into how driver’s license data is being used for covert surveillance of Floridians.  “We will reveal how the new data and facial recognition images collected are being unlawfully used by law enforcement,” said Wyllie.

The Florida legislature is also taking a fresh look at REAL ID. Florida Rep. Larry Ahern (R – St. Petersburg) has introduced HB 109, which would repeal virtually all the provisions of REAL ID that were implemented as part of the driver’s licensing process.

The trial will be held at the Pinellas County Criminal Court Complex, Courtroom 19, at 14250 49^th Street North in Clearwater on Wednesday, September 7 at 5:30pm.    The courtroom is open to the public and the media.

About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in theU.S. and over 2.1 million worldwide.

People are as fascinated with sea turtles as much as turtles (adult sea turtles and young hatchlings) are attracted to and disoriented by white light during nesting or egg laying season. The plight of the sea turtle is precarious, since nesting females could abandon a nest site before laying her eggs and hatchlings instinctively head toward the beckoning flashlights of curious onlookers rather than heading for the safety of the ocean.

The newly created Turtlesafe™ personal rechargeable flashlight has red LED’s and has been tested and certified* by the ‘Imperiled Species Management Section of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission’. The light output from the red LED flashlight indicates no short wavelengths of light that are disruptive to sea turtles. The Turtlesafe™ rechargeable flashlight meets or exceeds current Barrier Island lighting ordinances and is ‘certified*’ Turtle safe.

Designed by Mr. Mason Stewart, the rechargeable flashlight provides enough ‘peoplesafe’ light to be used on beaches at night, but emits a certified ‘turtlesafe™’ light beam that doesn’t disturb nesting sea turtles or their hatchlings. An avid outdoorsman, Mr. Stewart spent his early years exploring the miles of saltwater marshes, dense forests and fast flowing tidal streams. Visiting the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island, he learned of the potentially serious problems traditional flashlights cause nesting sea turtles. The new flashlight may improve young turtle’s chances of safely leaving the beach and finding the ocean.

HOW TO BUY & ORDER FLASHLIGHTS:

Currently available at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

By May 16, 2011 ~ offered to the general public via website at www.turtlesafeonline.com. Also will be available at environmentally conscious resorts and establishments.

On April 28, 2011, Dr. Robert Okerblom of Santa Maria, Calif., is scheduled to pedal into St. Augustine as he approaches the final leg of a 3,000-mile public awareness campaign. He began his cross-country, solo bicycle trek from San Diego, Calif., Feb. 28 in hopes of raising public awareness of the dangers of distracted driving, particularly texting while driving. Okerblom, a family practitioner in Orcutt, Calif., also hopes the ride will help him regain inner peace after the tragic death of his own son at the hand of a distracted driver. Eric, 19, was on a training ride when he was hit and killed by a distracted driver.

The story of Eric Okerblom’s tragic death at the hand of a texting young driver is now featured on the U.S. Department of Transportation’s websites including the front page of Distraction.gov: http://www.distraction.gov/. He also has his own page on the website: http://www.distraction.gov/faces/eric-okerblom.html. Secretary LaHood featured the story on his Fast Lane blog this morning, and the DOT has also issued its own national release on the issue of distracted driving. And, finally, there is a link to download Eric’s video for use offline: https://dotmediacenter.onehub.com/d/e7fy/

Dr. Okerblom may speak at area schools or other organizations while he’s in town. Please contact him directly to catch up with the constantly evolving speaking schedule, photos while on the road and to arrange your own interview. Okerblom is carrying a cell phone and can be reached when he’s off pedals. His number is 805-705-3103. You can follow Dr. Bob’s trip at (http://eofoundation.blogspot.com/). You can also learn about the eFoundation here (http://www.eofoundation.net/).

In addition, U.S. DOT Public Affairs Specialist Justine Adelizzi can answer any questions you may have about the U.S. DOT’s take on this very important issue. She can be reached at (202) 366-5551, on her cell at (202) 570-6083 or by e-mail at justine.adelizzi@dot.gov

FAST FACTS (from TurnOffTexting.com):

> Using a hand-held cell phone increases the likelihood of a collision by four times, equal to the risk of drunken driving.

> Texting increases the risk by 23 times (5.7 times greater than drunk driving).

> The average young driver texts about 70 times per day. 90% of teenagers admit to texting while driving.

> Most teenagers mistakenly believe that texting while driving is safer than drunk driving.

> Many states refuse to regulate hand held devices while driving, weakly enforce regulations, or have trivial penalties for violations. Automobile makers, cell phone producers and service providers minimize the risk of the devices they provide. About 7 percent of California drivers are using a hand held phone at any given time.

> More Americans die annually (about 6,000) from cell phone distraction than have been killed in both the combined Iraq and Afghan Wars.

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” Thomas Jefferson

Hardworking people that are working for the people try to cut cost anyway that they can to help decrease America`s budget deficit and create jobs for Americans. Trade Ambassador Philip Kapneck has helped to create jobs for more than 30 years and has attracted business and industry to Maryland while working many years, without remuneration.

Ambassador Kapneck was first appointed by Governor Marvin Mandel to open Maryland`s first overseas office in Brussels, Belgium as the State`s Trade Ambassador. Ambassador Kapneck has been appointed by each administration to date since his first appointment to Belgium. He assisted the Federal Government in “Invest in the USA”. Ambassador Kapneck works tirelessly for the people of Maryland, creating jobs by bringing companies to Maryland that are unique and useful, and that need a quality workforce.

Ambassador Kapneck has introduced many companies to Maryland by helping these companies get established in the State of Maryland. Once they are established he continues to assist them in contacting other business operations which in turn makes the new companies a valuable part of the state economy and in turn, this helps to reduce unemployment numbers.

Ambassador Philip Kapneck is the true meaning of the inaugural speech once given by President John F. Kennedy. “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.”

A State Official said that Ambassador Kapneck is not looking for publicity or public recognition for his work; he just wants to help people.

In honor of Spay Day, the St. Augustine Humane Society is offering a special discount on spaying and neutering cats. The promotion is held in conjunction with the annual campaign of The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International to inspire people to save animal lives by spaying or neutering pets and feral cats.

The official 17th annual Spay Day takes place on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011. The special is valid for the Spay Shuttle which is scheduled for March 17, 2011. The shuttle is used to transport pets to a veterinary clinic in Jacksonville that partners with the St. Augustine Humane Society to offer the low cost services. Supply is limited.

The St. Augustine Humane Society is offering a reduced rate of $30 for cats for its spay or neuter service through the organization’s Spay Shuttle. The regular rate is $50. This special is being offered for cats because of the feline’s ability to reproduce quickly. The cost does not include fees for additional services like rabies vaccines.

According to local veterinarian and St. Augustine Humane Society board president, Dr. Eric Searcy, female cats start going into “heat” or estrus as early as four to six months of age. They are repeatedly receptive to the male for weeks during each cycle, which greatly increases the chances of pregnancy. Female cats can have three or four litters in a year, and at one to six kittens per litter, cats can reproduce quickly. Dr. Searcy added, “Unfortunately, only one out of every 12 cats born ever find a permanent home.”

“By providing low cost spay and neuter services, we are preventing many animals from being taken to shelters or euthanized,” said Celeste Hart, St. Augustine Humane Society’s Executive Director. “We are addressing the pet overpopulation problem by focusing on prevention and working to eliminate the need to euthanize thousands of companion animals in St. Johns County,” she said.

To make reservations for the Shuttle please visit the Humane Society during its regular business hours Thursday, Friday and Saturday 9:00 am until 2:00 pm and by appointment. For more information please call 904-829-2737 or visit the website at www.staugustinehumanesociety.org. To donate and volunteer, contact Celeste Hart at (904) 829-2737 or email chart@staughumane.org.

St. Augustine Humane Society is a non-profit organization which promotes responsible pet ownership and strengthens the human-animal bond through education and training. The organization works to reduce the relinquishment rate of pets to shelters through effective and affordable spay and neuter efforts and is a resource center for the citizens and animals in St. Johns County, Florida. Programs are made possible in part by generous funding from patrons, the Ted Weber Trust, and program activities.

Vero Beach, FL: TV host and author Jane Velez-Mitchell to appear on Judyth Piazza’s American Perspective on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2011.

“In her new book “Addict Nation,” TV host Jane Velez-Mitchell explores America’s love affair with prescription drugs, and asks: Is Lindsay Lohan REALLY sober?

The list of celebrities who have overdosed on legal prescription drugs is long and growing fast. Music legend Michael Jackson died after his doctor gave him a head-spinning cocktail of drugs including Valium, Lorazepam, and Midazolam, plus the painkiller Lidocane, topped off with Propofol. Health Ledger OD’d in his fashionable Manhattan loft on a combination of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Diazepam, Alprazolam, Temazepam, Vicodin, Xanax , Restoril and Unisom. Anna Nicole Smith’s autopsy revealed Lexapro, Zoloft, Cipro, Klonopin, Valium, Lorazepam, Ativan, Robaxin and the powerful sleep aid Chloral Hydrate in her system. Now, many fear Lindsay Lohan may join the list.”

Judyth Piazza and Jane Velez-Mitchell will cover these topics and many more on The American Perspective. Stay Tuned!
