When I took upon myself to enter the campaign for Pinellas Co ity Sheriff, I maintained at the

time and do to this date that no other candidate in the campaign was q alified to enter the race

because the Florida Constitution maintains that there must be separati i of powers between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the government,, When t ~ Florida Supreme Court

undertook to make every lawyer who is a member of the Florida Bar in ne State of Florida a member of the Judicial branch, they thereby excluded any lawyer from becoming a tnember of the Executive or Legislative branches. The Florida Bar has a monopoly on the judicial bri ch, which is bad enough, but to also deny the checks and balances in the legislative and executive bran 1es would create a tyranny in

our state.

I entered the race to bring public awareness to this critical issu• I accepted no financial backing

for my campaign and my campaign was my own, Because I still believe was the only legitimate

candidate in the race, ·l'continue.to,.campaignand.rai~publicawarene >-M:!i'~~.E!t!'.!,tii:f.iri'lnaffiil'fi~

My failure to file the report in question was for the reason stat I above and no other,, I maintain to this date that the other candidates In the race were unqualified to rt • for the position and that the current Sheriff is serving in violation of the Florida constitution's mand te for separation of powers. If

Pursuant to section I 06 25( 4 )( c ), Florida Statutes, under signed staff counsel files this written recommendation for disposition of the complaint in this case recommending that there is probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.141(1), Florida Statutes Based upon a thorough review of the Report of Investigation submitted on December 2, 2013, the following facts and law support this staff recommendation:

1. On March 25, 2013, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received a sworn complaint from Deborah Clark ("Complainant") alleging that Greg S Pound (''Respondent") violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes ..

2 Respondent was a candidate for Pinellas County Sheriff in the 2012 election cycle ..

3 By letter dated September 11, 2013, the Executive Director notified Respondent that Commission staff would investigate the following statutory provision:

I st DCA 1995)..

12 The facts set forth above show that Respondent was a candidate for Pinellas County Sheriff in the 2012 election cycle Respondent filed his Appointment of Campaign Treasure1 and Designation of Campaign Depository form designating himself as campaign treasurer on May 26, 2011, and was required to file his 2012 Termination Repo1t no late1 than February 4, 2013 Respondent's filing officer sent three email 1eminders to Respondent on Decembe1 21, 2012, January 24, 2013, and on February I, 2013, info1ming him that his 2012 Te1mination Report was due by February 4, 2013.

THE ISSUES ARE NOT TERINATION REPORT OR CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

I am the only legal candidate for Sheriff in Pinellas County. And I have made that assertion to

the ruling bodies of Pinellas County Government from County Attorney's Office, to the County Commissioners, and the other leaders. According to Florida law, constitution, and facts, we have an illegal Sheriff~ along with illegal County Commissioners all refusing to abide by the rule of law. They believe the law only applies to the people, not them, because they are in power. This may sound bizane, but this is what we are dealing with in Pinellas County government By

finding one of their puppetjudges to wave the gavel and say it's ok. I said not just no, but I said, "Hell No .. " I refosed to go along--to get along with conuption, and I refuse to resign my campaign for Sheriff. I am still the only legal candidate in this race .. I have talked with judges, lawyers, and law professors and they all agree.. These people are out of control And I have talked with your lawyer for the Election Office, although I cannot now recall his name

Article ll, Section 3 of om Constitution is not rocket science Children can understand the concept of separation of powers, it's like having a mommy, a daddy, and GOD Why has the Elections Commission waited this long to move on this issue or case? Is it to allow those I have raised the issues toward to get in the seat of power .. I have asked you to please look at the law, and I pray you will make time to read what you might not be aware of~-what is going on in this part of the State of Florida.. I know you work with over 67 counties in Florida. Pinellas County

leads the State, and the whole Country in illegal pharmaceutical drugs being sold through drug mills, I'm talking big dollars--like millions This might sound a little crazy, but I believe Yahweh, the GOD of Israel has fixed this Sheriff's race such that I will be by law the Sheiiffin Pinellas County, to clean up the conuption in Pinellas County Government, to be an example to the rest of the State of Florida and the United State of true reform in government

I have been exposing in and working with Pinellas County community groups, trying to clean up the organized crime of our leaders for over nine years. We have found absolute power absolutely

conupts, like our commissioners refusing to step down after their term expires If have you time, read the newspaper reports on this case regarding our commissioners having no respect for law, but they control everything in the County. But consider how much money the Sheriff gets, along with the courts, and everyone else within the system. There is a financial incentive And they

have done everything but kill me It's time to get outside help; we need your help

',,,.._.,

I

The three candidates that rnn against me were lawyers, and in the Florida Constitution Article II,

Section 3, called the "separation-of~power clause," a person cannot be a member of the judicial branch and hold an office in another branch If you do not understand, then read the Federalist

Papers 10 and SL This will help you understand why this concept was put into our constitution-­

to keep the people we put into power from getting a monopoly over the people for whom they work, We the People. In the Florida Constitution, lawyers are prohibited frnm running for this

Constitutional office of Sheiiff It's a conflict of interest. So I filed a notice and complaint of civil rights violations under the Florida Constitution and criminal complaint for knowingly acting

under the false pretences of being legal Candidates for Sheriff, also citing Deborah Clark, Supervisor of Elections, for the authorization of these Candidates.

Florida Supreme Court has ruled, Lawyers who are members of the Florida Bar are barred legally from running for public office in the executive and legislative branches. The Constitution prohibits them from running for mayor, commissions, school board, sheriff, the Legislature of any other elected office that is not part of the judidal branch of government. ... In 1949 the

Florida Bar was "unified" with, and became a part of the Supreme Court. That made every state Bar member/lawyer a person "belonging to the judiciary branch of government.''The Florida Constitution's separation-of-powers clause, Article II, Section 3, is unambiguous It states: "NO person belonging to one branch shall exercise any power appertaining to either of the other two branches .. "

The key to the knowledge oflaw is truth The truth never changes; it's the same yesterday, today, and forever .. And it applies equally to all people In om country and om county, the Constitution is the supreme law of our country. But this law, while being the supreme law of the

land, will always be sul:Jject to the laws "of nature and nature's GOD" Everyone in governmental office or civil service takes the following oath to defond the Constitution, which is a contract between the people and those that work in government for the people, "I do solemn! y affirm that I will support and defond the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same "Our republic is a tripartite conception: legislative, executive, and judicial. It will not succeed if the people who are supposed to be in office to defond justice, but are there for personal gain

These leaders in Pinellas County think they are above the law Please, Google the News Articles

"Term Limits do not apply to Pinellas County Government" The County Commissioners have passed their term limits and refose to step down, and the ex-Sheriff had three of his lawyer [liars and criminal soul mates] friends running to cover-up the monies that have been going out the back door As my mother in-Jaw has verified through words to me as the Comptroller for the

past thirtyyears Deputy George A Loeffler, said to the Executive Staff of the Sheriff's Dept, "Sheriff Coats, one thing I have learned from you and the chief deputy Robert Gualtieri is that if your lips are moving you are lying You may be able to pull the wool over the general public, but those of us who work in the agency know you for what you are" (St Petersburg Times Date:

eXHIBITq(cQ cl~~ .. ~~2 -~~~~----,-~~===

(

I

Sept 6, 2008) When Greg Pound becomes Sheriff, George A Loeffler will get his job back with back pay.

These Lawyers from the Sheriff's Department running for Sheriff are here to cover-up for the last two administrations of conuption. The Law/Constitution has not been enforced, but they

have been making up the law as they see fit In this case of Attorneys running for She1iff,

Governo1 Scott temporally appointed Robe1t Gualtieri, as acting Sheriff, until the election for a new Sheriff. This same Robert Gualtieri filed a motion (exhibit A) to have the free speech zone moved from the fiont of the court in the county, which Candidate Greg Pound uses as a platform

for telling the people of Pinellas County about Bob Gualtieri and Scott Swope illegally running for the She1if!'s Office .. I want justice restored this is why I have run for sheriff twice, because of the conuption in our local government leaders .. These people have no check and balance, and

no free speech in a free speech zone

Deboralr Clark, along with a whole list political leaders, are committing fraud, breaking the law,

and violating their oaths, to the people of Pinellas County and the State of Florida My name would have been on the ballot, if Deborah Clark had not forced me to be a write-in candidate by lying in court They are criminal conspirators--Working together to destroy America

Andrew Jackson was elected to the Presidency in the year 1828 His bravery and military skill in defeating the British in the War of 1812 are well known He fought many battles in open combat, but now he was facing an entirely different enemy This enemy claimed to be American-just like him, claimed to want the best for America-just like him, and occupied high positions of responsibility-just like him. But unlike him, these people were traitors and a serious threat to the continued existence of the United States He said of these people:

"A nation can survive its fools. But it cannot rnrvive treasonfrom within An enemy at the gates is less dreadful, for he is known and carries his banners openly against the city But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his deceit heard in the very halls of government itself For the traitor appears no traitor, he speaks in the scents familiar to his

victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men for the love of greed and power He works secretly and unknown to undermine the pillar.s of justice, he infects the body politic so that it is no longer respected. " It is a tragic fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans no longer expect honesty, accountability, and lawful conducts from their elected leaders .. Our political, business, and

religious leaders have encouraged the people to accept thefalse notion that patriotism requires blind loyalty and unquestioned obedience to the government leaders. But nothing could be further from the truth, or more inconsistent with our nation's history "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," Thomas Jefferson warned us He feared for our nation if we forget that our

rights come from God James Madison said, "A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives "

These people are wmking to destroy America: from the Sheriff's Department, Robert Gaulterie mnning for Sheriff, Bernie McCabe the State's Attorney, Ken Becky the Clerk of the Court,

Deborah Clark Supervisor of Elections, Diane Nelson Tax Collector, and the four County

Commissioners [that term limits do not apply to] My Mother in-law, as Comptroller for thirty

years, just retired, but is still active in Pinellas Government covering-up millions of tax dollars going out the of the County into theiI pockets In the first race I ran for Sheriff was in 2008 against Jim Coats As I was exposing the conuption of money laundeiing, along with all kinds of

sexual crimes against children being used fo1 sex crimes, like Bernie McCabe, or Judge Dowdy

sitting in court, hearing court cases, looking at child porn, while hooked to a penis pump You couldn't make the stuff up. This has been going on for years because no one is willing stop it The judicial system is broken It must be fixed .. There are four people who can do the job: Eve1ybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody Everybody thinks somebody will surely do it. It is a job anybody can do But nobody is doing it. At least I'm trying. Will you help us?

Donna Ann Malphurs, Agency Clerk, here is what you can do .. We need you to do something for the good of Floiida, and our Country. Please bring this to the attention of the Governor

THE ISSUES ARE NOT TERINATION REPORT OR CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

I am the only legal candidate for Sheriff in Pinellas County. And I have made that assertion to the ruling bodies of Pinellas County Government from County Attorney's Office, to the County Commissioners, and the other leaders According to Florida law, constitution, and facts, we have an illegal Sheriff, along with illegal County Commissioners all refusing to abide by the mle of law. They believe the law only applies to the people, not them, because they are in power.. This may sound bizarre, but this is what we are dealing with in Pinellas County government By finding one of their puppet judges to wave the gavel and say it's o . .k. I said not just no, but I said, "Hell No " I refused to go along--to get along with conuption, and I refuse to resign my campaign for Sheriff. I am still the only legal candidate in this race .. I have talked with judges, lawyers, and law professors and they all agree.. These people are out of control. And I have talked with yom lawyer for the Election Office, although I cannot now recall his name ..

Article II, Section 3 of our Constitution is not rocket science Children can understand the concept of separation of powers, it's like having a mommy, a daddy, and GOD. Why has the Elections Commission waited this long to move on this issue or case? Is it to allow those I have raised the issues toward to get in the seat of power .. I have asked you to please look at the law, and I pray you will make time to read what you might not be aware of~-what is going on in this part of the State of Florida I know you w01k with over 67 counties in Flolida. Pinellas County leads the State, and the whole Country in illegal pharmaceutical drugs being sold through dmg mills, I'm talking big dollars--like millions .. This might sound a little crazy, but I believe Yahweh, the GOD of Israel has fixed this Sheriff's race such that I will be by law the Sheriff in Pinellas County, to clean up the conuption in Pinellas County Government, to be an example to

the rest of the State of Florida and the United State of true reform in government.

I have been exposing in and working with Pinellas County community g1oups, tiying to clean up the 01ganized crime of our leade1s for over nine years We have found absolute power absolutely

corrupts, like om commissioners refusing to step down after their te1m expires. If have you time, read the newspaper rep01ts on this case regarding our commissioners having no respect f01 law, but they control eve1ything in the County. But consider how much money the Sheriff gets, along with the comts, and eve1yone else within the system There is a financial incentive And they have done everything but kill me .. It's time to get outside help; we need your help

The three candidates that rnn against me were lawyers, and in the Florida Constitution Article II, Section 3, called the "separntion-of-power clause," a person cannot be a member of the judicial brnnch and hold an office in another branch If you do not understand, then read the Federalist

It's a conflict of interest So I filed a notice and complaint of civil rights violations under the Florida Constitution and criminal complaint for knowingly acting

under the false pretences of being legal Candidates for Sheriff, also citing Debornh Clark, Supervisor of Elections, for the authmization of these Candidates.

Florida Supreme Comt has ruled, Lawyers who are members of the Florida Bar are baned legally from running for public office in the executive and legislative branches .. The Constitution prohibits them from mnning for mayor, commissions, school board, sheriff, the Legislature of any other elected office that is not part of the judiCial branch of government.. ... In 1949 the

Flmida Bar was "unified" with, and became a part of the Supreme Court. That made every state Bai member/lawyer a person "belonging to the judiciary branch of government"The Florida Constitution's separation-of-powers clause, Article II, Section 3, is unambiguous .. It states: "NO person belonging to one branch shall exercise any power appertaining to either of the other two branches .. "

The key to the knowledge of law is truth The tmth never changes; it's the same yesterday, today, and forever .. And it applies equally to all people In om country and our county, the Constitution is the supreme law of our country. But this law, while being the supreme law of the land, will always be subject to the laws "of nature and nature's GOD" Everyone in governmental office or civil service takes the following oath to defond the Constitution, which is a contrnct between the people and those that work in government for the people, "I do solemnly affirm that I will support and defond the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same " Our republic is a tripartite conception: legislative, executive, and judicial It will not succeed if the people who are supposed to be in office to de fond justice, but are there fo1 personal gain.

These leaders in Pinellas County think they are above the law.. Please, Google the News Articles "Term Limits do not apply to Pinellas County Government " The County Commissioners have passed their term limits and refuse to step down, and the ex-Sheriff had three of his lawyer [liars

and criminal soul mates] f!iends running to cover-up the monies that have been going out the back door.. As my mother in-law has verified through wmds to me as the Comptrnller for the past thirty years. Deputy George A Loeffler, said to the Executive Staff of the Sheriff's Dept, "Sheriff Coats, one thing I have learned from you and the chief deputy Robert Gualtieri is that if your lips are moving you are lying .. You may be able to pull the wool over the general public, but those of us who work in the agency know you for what you are" (St Petersburg I imes Date:

Sept. 6, 2008) When Greg Pound becomes Sheriff, George A Loeffler will get his job back with back pay ..

These Lawyers from the Sheriff's Depaitment running for Sheriff are here to cover-up for the last two administrations of conuption .. The Law/Constitution has not been enforced, but they have been making up the law as they see fit In this case of Attorneys running for Sheriff, Governor Scott temporally appointed Robert Gualtieri, as acting Sheriff, until the election for a new Sheriff This same Robert Gualtieri filed a motion (exhibit A) to have the free speech zone moved from the front of the court in the county, which Candidate Greg Pound uses as a platform for telling the people of Pinellas County about Bob Gualtieri and Scott Swope illegally running for the Sheriff's Office I want justice restored this is why I have run for sheriff twice, because of the conuption in our local government leaders .. These people have no check and balance, and no free speech in a free speech zone.

Deborah Clark, along with a whole list political leaders, are committing flaud, breaking the law, and violating their oaths, to the people of Pinellas County and the State of Florida My name would have been on the ballot, if Deborah Clark had not forced me to be a write-in candidate by lying in court They are criminal conspiratms--Working together to destroy America ..

Andrew Jackson was elected to the Presidency in the year 1828. His bravery and military skill in defeating the British in the War ofl812 are well known. He fought many battles in open combat, but now he was facing an entirely different enemy. This enemy claimed to be

American-just like him, claimed to want the best for America-just like him, and occupied high positions of responsibility-just like him. But unlike him, these people were traitors and a serious threat to the continued existence of the United States He said of these people:

But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his deceit heard in the very halls of government itself For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the scents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men for the love of greed and power He works secretly and unknown to undermine the pillars of justice; he infects the body politic so that it is no longer respected." It is a tragic fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans no longer expect honesty, accountability, and lawful conducts from their elected leaders Our political, business, and religious leaders have encouraged the people to accept the false notion that patriotism requires blind loyalty and unquestioned obedience to the government leaders. But nothing could be farther from the truth, or more inconsistent with our nation's history .. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," Thomas Jefferson wained us .. He teared for our nation if we forget that our rights come from God. Jaines Madison said, "A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."

THE ISSUES

Dear Donna Ann Malphurs,

ZOIJ JUN I O p S· . I am the only legal candidate for Sheriff in Pinellas County. And I have made that assertion to · 5 3

the ruling bodies of Pinellas County Government from County Attomey's Office,~Q.~A"([~fifeN;}3!l1~5~~,,0 Commissioners, and the other leaders.. According to Florida law, constitution, and facts, we have

an illegal Sheriff; along with illegal County Commissione1s all refusing to abide by the mle of

law .. They believe the law only applies to the people, not them, because they are in power. This

may sound bizaire, but this is what we are dealing with in Pinellas County gove1nment. By

finding one of their puppet judges to wave the gavel and say it's o.k. I said not just no, but I said,

"Hell No." I refused to go along--to get along with couuption, and I refuse to resign my

campaign for Sheriff. I am still the only legal candidate in this 1ace.. I have talked with judges,

lawyers, and law professo1s and they all agiee.. These people are out of control. And I have

talked with your lawyer for the Election Office, although I cannot now recall his name ..

Aiticle ll, Section 3 of our Constitution is not rocket science .. Children can unde1stand the

concept of separation of powers, it's like having a mommy, a daddy, and GOD. Why has the

Elections Commission waited this long to move on this issue or case? Is it to allow those I have

raised the issues toward to get in the seat of power .. I have asked you to please look at the law,

and I pray you will make time to read what you might not be aware of--what is going on in this

part of the State of Florida. I know you work with over 67 counties in Florida .. Pinellas County

leads the State, and the whole Country in illegal pharmaceutical drugs being sold through d!ug

mills, I'm talking big dollars--like millions .. This might sound a little crazy, but I believe

Yahweh, the GOD oflsrael has fixed this Sheiiffs race such that I will be by law the Sheriff in

Pinellas County, to clean up the conuption in Pinellas County Government, to be an example to

the rest of the State of Florida and the United State oftme refo1m in govemment.

I have been exposing in and working with Pinellas County community gioups, trying to clean up

the organized crime of our leade1s for over nine years. We have found absolute power absolutely

conupts, like our commissioners refusing to step down after then te1m expiies .. If have time, read

the newspaper reports on this case regarding our commissioners having no respect for law, but

they control eve1ything in the County .. But consider how much money the Sheriff gets, along

1of4

f I

with the courts, and eveiyone else within the system. There is a financial incentive .. And they

have done everything but kill me It's time to get outside help; we need your help ..

The three candidates that ran against me were lawyers, and in the Florida Constitution Article II,

Section 3, called the "separation-of-power clause," a person cannot be a membei· of the judicial

branch and hold an office in another branch .. If you do not understand, then read the Federnlist

Papers 10 and 5L This will help you understand why this concept was put into our constitution··­

to keep the people we put into power from getting a monopoly over the people for whom they

work, We the People .. In the Flolida Constitution, lawyers ar·e prohibited from xunning for this

Constitutional office of Sheriff. It's a conflict of interest So I filed a notice and complaint of

civil lights violations under the Florida Constitution and criminal complaint for knowingly acting

under the false pretences of being legal Candidates for Sheriff, also citing Deborah Clark,

Supervisor of Elections, for the authoiization of these Candidates ..

The Florida Constitution's separation-of-powers clause, Article II, Section 3, is unambiguous .. It

states: "NO person belonging to one branch shall exeicise any power appertaining to either of the

. other two branches." The key to the knowledge oflaw is truth .. The truth never changes; it's the

same yesterday, today, and forever. And it applies equally to all people .. In out country and our

county, the Constitution is the supreme law of our country. But this law, while being the supreme

law of the land, will always be subject to the laws "ofnatur·e and natur·e's GOD." Everyone in

governmental office 01 civil service takes the following oath to defend the Constitution, which is

a contract between the people and those that wo1k in government for the people, "I do solemnly

affum that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,

foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same " Our republic is a

ttipartite conception: legislative, executive, and judicial .. It will not succeed if the people who ar·e

supposed to be in office to defend justice, but ar·e there for personal gain ..

These leaders in Pinellas County think they are above the law. Please, Google the News Articles

"Term Limits do not apply to Pinellas County Government." The County Commissioners have

passed their te1m limits and refuse to step down, and the ex-Sheiiff had three of his lawyer [liars

and criminal soul mates] friends running to cover-up the monies that have been going out the

back door. As my mother in-law has verified through words to me as the Compttuller for the

past thirty years. Deputy George A. Loeffler, said to the Executive Staff of the Sheriff's Dept.,

2of4

(

. "Sheziff Coats, one thing I have leamed from you and the chief deputy Robext Gualtieri is that if

I

your lips are moving you are lying.. You may be able to pull the wool over the general public, •

but those of us who wo1k in the agency know yo~ for what you are .. " (St. Petersburg Times Date:

Sept 6, 2008) When G!eg Pound becomes Sheriff; George A. Loeffler will get his job back with

back pay.

These Lawyers from the ShexifPs Deprutment mnning for Sheriff ru·e here to cove1-up for the

last two administrations of conuption. The Law/~onstitution has not been enforced, but they

have been ma.king up the law as they see fit. In titjs case of Attomeys running for Sheriff;

Governor Scott tempoially appointed Robe1t Gualtie1i, as acting Sheriff; until the election for a

new Sheriff This srune Robert Gualtieri filed a motion (exhibit A) to have the free speech zone

moved from the front of the court in the county, which Candidate Greg Pound uses as a platfo1m

for telling the people of Pinellas County about Bob Gualtieri and Scott Swope illegally running

for the SherifP s Office.. I want justice restored this why I have run for sheiiff twice, because of

the conuption in our local government. These people have no check and balance, and no free

speech in a free speech zone ..

Deborah Clruk, along with a whole list political leader, ru·e committing fraud, breaking the law,

and violating their oaths, to the people of Pinellas County and the State of Florida. My nrune

would have been on the ballot, ifDebmah Clruk had not forced me to be a write-in candidate by

lying in court. They ru·e criminal consphato1s--Working together to destroy America .~·

Andrew Jackson was elected to the Presidency in the year 1828.. His bravery and military skill

in defeating the British in the War of 1812 are well known He fought many battles in open

combat, but now he wasfacing an entirely different ene711y This ene711y claimed to be

.. American-just like him, claimed to want the bestfor America-juM like him, and occupied high

positions of responsibility-just like him But unlike him, these people were traitors and a

serious threat to the continued existence of the United States He said of these people:

"A nation can survive its fools .. But it cannot survive treason ft om within An enemy at

the gates is less dreadfal, for he is known and carries his banners openly against the city.. But

the traitor moves among those within the gatesfreely, his deceit heard in the very halls of

government itself For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the scentsfamiliar to his

victims, and he wears theirface and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies

deep in the hearts of all menfor the love ofgreed and power He works secretly and unknown to

undermine the pillars ojjustice; he infects the body politic so that it is no longer respected. " It

is a tragicfact that the overwhelming majority of Americans no longer expect honesty,

accountability, and lawfal conductsfrom their ele.cted leaders.. Our political, business, and

religious leaders have encouraged the people to apcept thefalse notion that patriotism requires

blind loyalty and unquestioned obedience to the government leaders. But nothing could be

further from the tmth, or more inconsistent with our nation's history.. "Etemal vigilance is the

price of liberty," Thomas Jefferson warned us.. He feared for our nation if we forget that our

rights come from God.. James Madison said, "A people who mean to be their own govemms

must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives .. "

These people are working to destroy America: from the Sheriff's Department, Robert Gaulterie

running for Sheriff; Bernie McCabe the State's Attorney, Ken Becky the Clerk of the Court,

Deborah Clark Supervisor of Elections, Diane Nelson Tax Collector, and the four County

Commissioners [that term limits do not apply to ] My Mother in-law, as Comptroller for thirty

years, just retired, but is still active in Pinellas Government coveting-up millions of tax dollars

going out the of the County into their pockets .. In the first race I ran for Sheriff was in 2008

against Jim Coats .. As I was exposing the conuption of money laundering, along with all kinds of

sexual crimes against children being used for sex crimes, like Bernie McCabe, or Judge Dowdy

sitting in court, hearing court cases, looking at child porn, while hooked to a penis pump.. You

couldn't make the stuff up. This has been going on for year·s because no one is willing stop it
