Subject Line: FL GOP, the 2nd Amendment, and Women's Rights 

Hello, 

I've have been a life long Republican and I have also been Pro 2nd Amendment for my entire life too. 

For the 2017 Legislative Session; Sen. Greg Steube introduced SB-140. This was an all in one comprehensive bill that combined Open Carry and Campus Carry. I bring this up because since 2011. Pro 2nd Amendment Bills have been submitted in the State Senate and they have been blocked by Republicans. Not Democrats.... but fellow Republicans. Our Party prides itself as being the party that protects and expands individual rights. It campaigns on supporting the 2nd Amendment and exercising said rights. Yet we have Republicans constantly trying to limit our rights to self defense and especially those of women. Campus rapes and attack on female students is an ongoing and grave issue. And yet the members of the GOP continues to strip them of their rights to self defense.  

This year so far, Sen. Steube's efforts have been crushed by fellow Republican Sen. Anitere Flores and Sen. Rene Garcia. Both members of Sen. Steube's Judiciary Committee. That committee is made up of a total of nine members. Five Republicans and four Democrats. With Sen. Flores and Sen. Garcia siding with the Democrats. They crushed any chance of Campus Carry at the moment. That's right. Two Republicans once again sided with Democrats to strip you and our fellow Floridians of the chance to exercise our rights and even more important. Have the ability to defend yourselves.  

Senator Anitere Flores is one of three Republican Senators that sided with the Democrats to call for a Special Session after the Fort Lauderdale Airport Terror Attack.    She stated the following.    "WE SEE NOW, WITH THIS LATEST ATTACK, THAT WE NEED TO TAKE A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT GUN LAWS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND FIND THE BEST WAY TO BALANCE THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE TO OWN GUNS VERSUS PUBLIC SAFETY."

In 2016; a similar situation occurred in the Senate. Then Republican Judiciary Chairman Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla stopped SB-300 via the very same committee that this year's bill has been stopped in. Sen. de la Portilla stated "OPEN CARRY IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN; IT'S DONE…ON ALL OF THESE GUN BILLS, I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THEM ARE NECESSARY. THEY COULD RESULT IN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. I THINK WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE IN OUR COMMITTEE, AS FAR AS WHAT WE HEAR. WE CAN'T HEAR EVERY BILL THAT'S REFERRED TO US." He of course did so with the blessing of then Senate President Andy Gardiner, also a Republican.  

If you recall. In November of 2014; there was an active shooter attack at the Strozier Library. One of the FSU Students injured by the crazed attacker was a legally licensed conceal carry permit holder but was disarmed by State Law which bans anyone fRom carrying on campus. What's worse is that our fellow Floridians could have been legally armed if earlier that year the same type of bill as today was not gutted by a Senate Republican. 

In 2014's Session, it was Sen. Charles McBurney; Republican of course that blocked SB-344 in the Senate via committee.  

In 2011, it was Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff that prevent FSU students from being able to be legally armed. She removed any and all mention of Campus Carry from SB-234 by an amendment that was then voted and passed by fellow Republicans.  

Our Party claims to be the one that protects the 2nd Amendment yet time after time, they have been the ones that kill our rights. This is unacceptable. I bring this to your attention because their actions affect you and your fellow students. As Republicans Young and Old (thank God I'm not there yet!) we need to press the issue.  

If the GOP claims to be a Party that defends the 2nd Amendment, protects the right to self defense, and claims to be the true Party that is for the equality and freedom of women. Then they need to pass Campus Carry and Open Carry.  

Open Carry ties into this because women are hindered by societal standards on dress. It is much harder for a woman to conceal a firearm on their body. Usually they have to resort to off body carry via a purse. This in of itself is a problem.

In 2016, Ms. Lopez-Rivas wrote this letter to then Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla. Ms. Lopez-Rivas is an undergraduate student at Florida State University and a Rape Victim.

"I am typing this letter from a Starbucks in Tallahassee, where I am situationally aware, trained, and well armed. Although I do not expect anything drastic to happen today, I am still prepared if something does go down—either to get the heck out and dodge, or tackle whatever happens head on, and I am prepared to do so with deadly force if needed. Although I now maintain great situational awareness everywhere I go and have self defense training in disarming, and in fighting off, an attacker, there are times where I am legally left without the tool that could best level the playing field in protecting me—my gun. 

Currently under Florida law, I am not allowed to carry on my campus, Florida State University. On my campus that reported 17 sexual assaults in 2014; on my campus that uses maybe 10 uniformed officers at any given point in time to protect the whole campus; on my campus that refuses to back campus carry as a way for women to legitimately protect themselves from assault; and on my campus which claims sovereign immunity when they are unable to protect these women: I am told I am safe and I do not need a gun.

While President Thrasher and university officials would have you believe that I am not defenseless, and even, that I am safe on campus, I would beg to differ. I already used pepper spray once; do you want to know how that ended for me? I was left shaking and crying, half naked on campus grounds, with cut marks all over my body. That’s what pepper spray did for me.As a gun rights activist, I can write all day about our Second Amendment rights. I will throw down statistics like how 0.1 percent of rapes were completed when women used a firearm as compared to a 34 percent completion rate when women used any other form of self-defense. Or how with the exception of two, all the mass shootings since the 1950’s have been in gun free zones.  Stats are easy to discuss, but when it comes to talking about being raped, my throat gets dry and my hands freeze up. It’s a lot harder to write about nightmares than it is to write about numbers. 

And I do have nightmares from being raped on campus. Sometimes they are so bad I wake up at three in the morning sweaty and terrified because in my mind I am being raped again. In my mind I am there: I am forced into a secluded area, forced to unzip my pants, forced to lay down as tiny cuts are made all over my body and a man I do not know rolls on a condom and forces himself on top of me. I remember how cold the asphalt felt as I distracted myself from the sting of the knife. I remember looking into his eyes and realizing there was no emotion behind them, no sympathy just sadism. And I remember thinking: this is how I’m going to die and then getting up after it was done, tears streaming down my face and neck wondering how I even survived.

I was already raped once off campus my freshman year of college, but this time I used pepper spray. This time I ran, heading for those blue lights staggered around campus to signal the police I was in danger. I did everything right but when he pulled a knife I stopped fighting. Instinct told me to cooperate if I didn’t want to get stabbed to death, and here I am today—sitting at Starbucks, simultaneously trying to remember the exact details and forget this ever happened.

I fight for my Second Amendment rights because I believe I should never have a chance of getting raped again. I won’t deny the possibility of getting injured, but my gun gives me a chance that pepper spray, stun guns, and pocketknives never will. It prevents a knife being held at my throat and the voice of a stranger promising me he won’t kill me. And I won’t be denied the right to have that chance of surviving a potential attack rather than being assaulted again.

Sen. Diaz de la Portilla, why are you so adamant in denying me my right to protect myself and have a gun on campus? Why have you not schedule the campus carry bill for the Senate Judiciary Committee you chair? Why have you not met with me for 15 minutes since October when I began sending you and your legislative assistant weekly emails asking for an appointment?

I hope this open letter will engage opposition to campus carry. I hope everyone will understand why it’s so important that the bill be scheduled for a vote. Senator Diaz de la Portilla: Don’t let me be raped on campus again, let me arm myself, and whether you vote yes or no, at least schedule the campus carry bill for a vote."

Lastly, in February of 2012; Mr. Dale Norman was arrested by Fort Pierce Police for legally carrying a pistol. Mr. Norman was abiding by State Law by concealing his pistol while carrying under the authority of the State Issued Conceal Carry Weapons Permit. Mr. Norman's shirt rode up and briefly exposed the bottom of his holster. Once again; Mr. Norman, a law abiding was simply walking along the side walk and was arrested at gun point and forced to the ground simply for exercising his rights. Mr. Norman is currently fighting for his civil rights in the Florida Supreme Court.  

Sen. Joe Negron (R) is the current Senate President. We need to make sure that he along with Senate Majority Leader Wilton Simpson (R) correct these issues. I am asking that you rally your College Republicans and email, call, and visit in person if possible and push this issue. Florida is only one of five State in the country that does not have Open Carry. Forty five other States do. We're one of the few State that restrict Campus Carry. We have a Republican Majority in the House and Senate along with having control of the Governor's Seat. It is a travesty that we cannot pass such simply legislation that corrects such injustices.  

I ask for your assistance and I thank you for taking your time to hear me out. 

Thank You 

Sincerely, 

Done!

Just got off the phone with Committeewoman Sandra Atkinson of the Okaloosa County Republican Party.

She's 100% on board and will be forwarding the information and rallying the Western Panhandle Tea Party. She was originally on the State 2nd Amendment Committee before it was disbanded. She has plenty of experience fighting the anti gun forces in Tallahassee!

Also just spoke with Chairman Evan Power of the Leon County Republicans and Committeeman Bruno Barreiro of Miami-Dade County. They're both informed and will be bringing the issue up and spreading the news.

And done.

Done

Thanks.... both of you. Serious

I tried.

says all the email addresses are invalid.

 Maybe the way I copied and pasted.

I'm having trouble copy and pasting more than one email address on mobile Gmail. Gimme a sec

Strange.... are you doing it on a tablet, phone, or PC?

I found it hard to do on the phone or tablet but was able to do it on the PC.

Only 9 email addresses were invalid. I will go through the list and remove them.

But I can tell you that not all are bad because my phone has not stopped ringing. 

I found it best to do it on a PC. My android phone and tablet didn't work well with Gmail and trying to post all those addresses at the same time.

Ms. Atkinson said that she reviewed the addresses and that a lot of them are good choices to message. So keep trying and keep up the fight!

Done.

Edit: Had to do it from my Gmail.  If you attempt it from Yahoo, it flags you as sending spam, due to so many addressees. Just a heads up.

Thank you

I tried sending it with my Yahoo email and my AR15.com email account and I get an error message.

Bump. See my edit above for you Yahoo users.

Didn't work on my iPhone. No access to a computer currently.

Done

Done.

ETA: Didn't work from iPad (said invalid address, lumped them all as one).

Worked from desktop and Gmail.

Thanks, I used an old gmail address to send it.

Sent!

Keep on first page bump. I'd really appreciate Campus Carry when I move back to West Palm.

eta: OP, maybe cross post to Reddit and /or tweak for the_donald?

Only if the antis are already at maximum thrust and we don't have a risk of Bloomberg infusion from them finding out. MDA was already there so it can't get much worse.

I don't do Reddit or Twitter. Hell, I don't even do Facebook. I am a Social Media hermit yet I understand the power and how to use it. 

Done.  I'm going to get my wife to send it with her .edu account too.

Thank you!

ttt

Thank you very much!

Thank You

Done. Emailed all.

It was a sea of Marxists. 

Checking in

done

Done.

Morning Bump to the top

Tag for when I get tot the office.

Done and done.  Thanks for putting that together and fighting the good fight.

Wouldn't let me send from my phone.

I'm just one guy.... I can't do this alone. Thank you. 

Done

Getting phone calls folks.... keep up the good work!

Seriously..... keep it going. Things are moving and happening behind the scenes right now.

Guys.... keep up the good fight!

I've gotten some responses with "You and your friends are blowing up my inbox." & "As members of the State Executive Committee we are ALL bound by Oath to support any and all Republicans. We are not permitted to have positions on issues; if they are an elected Republican we must die on their liberal hill.  We cannot even pass resolutions supporting one issue or another without approval of the State Legislators.  Does anyone think that there is a problem here?"

Those quotes are from different people. Clearly this is having an effect. Which is exactly the goal. The Florida GOP has a systemic problem and that problem is RINOs and Turncoats. 

Many of them have responded saying that they weren't even aware that this has been happening every year. A lot of the County level GOP staffers are good folks that are ill informed on the true on goings in the Capitol. 

So once again..... keep up the good fight!

Here are my responses.....

I'm just one man trying to inform fellow Party Members of what is going on. My plan of action is simple. Get our Party to hold those in office responsible and to do their jobs. 

The 2016 Presidential Election spoke loud and clear. WE THE PEOPLE are tired with Professional Politicians and an Elitist Establishment. I know the supposed rules that Committee members cannot go against the party. But we can as individuals raise our voice and bring the matter to the front of the line. 

I've spent ten years in law enforcement. Ten long hard years in seeing good law abiding people hurt by laws that supposedly are in place to help them when in fact they hurt them. I took an oath to uphold and defends the rights of those people. That doesn't just mean arresting bad guys on the street or fighting terrorists in foreign lands. That also means holding or elected officials responsible.

Our party has a systemic problem. We need to correct it. You ask for a plan of action? Look into your conscience and ask yourself if our Party is once again doing the right thing? 

Do we need another Ms. Lopez to be raped? Or anther Mr. Norman to be forced to the ground at gun point for exercising his rights?

My plan of action is simple. Spread the issue, hold our so called Representatives of the People accountable, and have them put their money where their mouth is.

Our Party claims to be for freedom and equality. Then lets make sure our Party does it. 

Here's the other.....

I agree. There is a problem. Why must we fall on the sword of liberalism? This past election was the people saying enough is enough with the Elitists and Establishments. We have those on the State level too. Members of our government and party that believe in "Do as I say, not as I do" and "I know how you need to live" attitudes.

When troubling times come, we need to look inwards and ask ourselves is what we do is right?

I see this as right course of action. Our nation was founded by those that rebelled against the Crown over the simple belief that they were free people and that they have the right to live as they see fit. Part of that was the right to defend their homes and themselves in public. The fact that we have segments of our society still disarmed by failed government policy is a crime against the very foundation of our nation. 

As a Republican, we're bound by the words of Reagan. To not badmouth fellow Republicans. But we are in an age where some of our "fellow Republicans" are actually those that wish to disarm and deceive us and use our Party for their own nefarious gain.

Done.

First GD fire mission I've ever take part of.

Sent again with my second email adress.

Thanks for doing this Miami_JBT

The feeling with some Committee members I talk too are that they think I'm part of some lobbying group or that I have a plan of attack. My plan is to get the party to ask itself questions and say "hey, are we as Republicans really doing the right thing?" The FL GOP needs to be fixed and it can only be fixed form the inside. 

This is a grass roots campaign. I think some in the FL GOP don't understand that. But this looks like it is gaining traction and like I said..... my phone doesn't stop ringing nor do the emails stop. KEEP IT UP!

I have committee members calling and emailing me asking what can be done or that they weren't aware this was really an ongoing problem. But hopefully this puts enough pressure on the County Level members to press the issue in Tallahassee and those in the Capitol finally stop the games that have been played. 

This isn't just about fat white guys with guns wanting to open carry a .44 Mag in a cowboy rig. This is about the largest growing segment of new gun owners. WOMEN being disarmed on campuses and this is about law abiding Floridians being held at gun point and forced on the ground due to a wardrobe malfunction while following the law and exercising their rights.

The lobbying side of the 2nd Amendment hasn't made any headway since they keep to themselves and try to deal with the snakes in the grass. Instead of trying to deal with the snakes in the grass. I say we cut the grass so they can't hide and get rid of the damn snakes!

Done!

Got another flood of emails and phone calls. KEEP IT UP!

This needs to be a ground swell and true grass roots campaign. Lobbyists no matter how good are paid professionals. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE POWER. More importantly, WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR VOICE!

Got a a real nice email....

"OMG!! Shame on all of you....please take me off your list!!"

Seems we found one that supports the hypocrisy. 

KEEP IT UP

Got another one....

"Yes, please remove me from these mailing lists."

I guess some folks don't like hearing the truth.

Well, their emails are on the Florida GOP FIND YOUR LOCAL REPUBLICAN PARTY page. 

The job of County Committee Members of the County Republican Parties is an elective position and is the position is designed primarily to communicate between state party members and local Republicans.

I guess some don't want to do their jobs. 

My response to them....

The job of County Committee Members of the County Republican Parties is an elective position and the position is designed primarily to communicate between state party members and local Republicans.

You have fellow local Republicans that are angry with the way the Party is doing things. Is it not part of your responsibilities to handle these issues?

Should Republicans like myself and others leave the party? Because so far Mr/Ms ******; we've followed what the Party wants. We elected Republicans into office so they can have majority control of the State and Federal Government.

Should we as faithful party members get treated in a manner that befits something closer to the Democrats when it comes to 2nd Amendment Rights?



One of them flat out blocked me. After that reply. 

Done, and thank you for all your work. I sent it from my real name e-mail account with contact information to boot.

Yahoo kept saying too many email addresses. I tried deleting a few and gave up. I then used my school email account and it went thru. I got 10 address delivery problems.
