<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><em><strong>On this 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s arrival in America, we should understand some biblical aspects of what the Pilgrim fathers and their Puritan successors achieved and passed on.</strong></em></span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In this surreal year of riots attempting to tear down cultural heritage comes a significant milestone—the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ landing in America.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">From their storied ship the <em>Mayflower,</em> these New World settlers from Europe first set foot on Cape Cod in New England at what later became Provincetown, Mass., on Nov. 13, 1620—before moving on to finally land at nearby Plymouth Rock on Dec. 18. The journey and its aftermath have long been recalled in the American observance of Thanksgiving each November.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This year the fateful voyage is being commemorated by quadricentennial celebrations in not only the United States, but also Great Britain and the Netherlands.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Why was this event so significant in world history?</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A world-changing enterprise</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fleeing religious persecution in England, a group of Puritans who regarded themselves as Separatists had gone to Leiden in Holland. After enduring difficulties there for more than a decade, a number decided to move to America, setting sail from Plymouth in England, hoping to make a better life for their families by being able to worship freely and in peace. Later known as the Pilgrims, these are among the most famous colonists in history. Their faith and self-governing system laid the religious and cultural cornerstone for a new nation.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A group of British merchants was persuaded to back the venture, forming a joint-stock company with the colonists. Of the 102 passengers aboard the<em>Mayflower,</em> just 37 were Pilgrims—with the others recruited by the London company to protect its interests.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The new settlement, Plymouth Colony, was the second successful English colony in America after Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607. Yet unlike many of the Jamestown settlers, the Pilgrims were not out to become wealthy entrepreneurs but to work the land and serve God without government hindrance. The social and legal systems of the colony, begun with the famous Mayflower Compact, were closely tied to their religious beliefs and English tradition.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">More of the Separatists soon came to Plymouth. And over the next 20 years, 16,000 Puritans would follow in emigrating from England to the nearby Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was later merged with Plymouth. Many more Puritans settled in Connecticut and Rhode Island. And the faith and practice of these early settlers established a lasting influence on American culture and national character.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Of the initial journey, American naval historian Henry Culver says: “No vessel, neither the Santa Maria [Columbus’ flagship in the discovery of America], nor the Constitution, most noted and glorious of all the warships of the United States, can compare in romantic interest and patriotic reverence with the properly accorded fame of the <em>Mayflower.</em> Her name is indissolubly linked with the fundamentals of American democratic institutions. She was <em>the wave-rocked cradle of our liberties”</em> (<em>The Book of Old Ships: From Egyptian Galleys to Clipper Ships,</em> 1924, p. 84, emphasis added throughout).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">What are some of the biblical aspects we should reflect on today in remembering these early founders of what became the United States of America?</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A pilgrimage into the wilderness</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“And the Lord spoke to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and say to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Let My people go, that they may serve Me’”’” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="EXO_8_1_86424400" name="EXO_8_1_86424400"></a>Exodus 8:1).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Over the ages people striving to follow God have had to flee religious persecution, with the Exodus from Egypt being an outstanding example. Many centuries later, the apostle Peter described Christians who faced religious persecution in the Roman Empire as “pilgrims” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="1PE_2_11_87892500" name="1PE_2_11_87892500"></a>1 Peter 2:11). Jesus had said of His disciples, “They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="JHN_17_16_89106400" name="JHN_17_16_89106400"></a>John 17:16).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The word “pilgrims” is thus biblically based, referring to people going on a long journey mainly for a religious purpose. The term was applied to the Separatists by one of Plymouth Colony’s first governors, William Bradford. He wrote of their departure from Holland to England and then to America as follows:</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“So they left that goodly and pleasant city [Leiden] which had been their resting place near twelve years; but they knew they were pilgrims, and looked not much on those things, but lift up their eyes to the heavens, their dearest country, and quieted their spirits” (Of Plymouth Plantation, chapter 1).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This was a reference to <a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="HEB_11_13-16_90310000" name="HEB_11_13-16_90310000"></a>Hebrews 11:13-16, where believers are described as foreign pilgrims journeying on the earth toward the coming Kingdom of God as their homeland and country from heaven.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">By extension, the name “Pilgrim” later became the popular term applied to all the Mayflower passengers and even to other people arriving in Plymouth in those early years. After their successful settlement, the Pilgrims’ influence and contacts led to more Puritan colonies being established nearby. The largest, founded in 1629, was the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The settlers were fervent in what they saw as their “errand into the wilderness” in parallel to the ancient Israelites.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“No Christian community in history,” says historian Gabriel Sivan, “identified more with the People of the Book than did the early settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who believed their own lives to be a literal reenactment of the biblical drama of the Hebrew nation.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“They themselves were the children of Israel; America was their Promised Land; the Atlantic Ocean their Red Sea; the Kings of England were the Egyptian pharaohs; the American Indians the Canaanites (or the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel); the pact of the Plymouth Rock was God’s holy Covenant; and the ordinances by which they lived were the Divine Law.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Like . . . other Protestant victims of Old World oppression, these émigré Puritans dramatized their own situation as the righteous remnant of the Church corrupted by the ‘Babylonian woe’ [in reference to the false Christian system portrayed in Revelation 17-18] and saw themselves as instruments of Divine Providence, a people chosen to build their new commonwealth on the Covenant entered into at Mount Sinai” (The Bible and Civilization, 1973, p. 236).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">And they believed this holy mission was to serve as an example. Alluding to Jesus’ words in <a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="MAT_5_14_91509800" name="MAT_5_14_91509800"></a>Matthew 5:14, Massachusetts Bay Governor John Winthrop declared, “We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us.”</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Commitment to freedom of self-rule in covenant with God</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="LEV_25_10_92702800" name="LEV_25_10_92702800"></a>Leviticus 25:10).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">No territory enjoyed more religious freedoms than those established by the Pilgrims and their Puritan neighbors. At a time when monarchy and aristocracy held sway in Europe, the colonists did not want to perpetuate that kind of rule but instead, while pledging loyalty to the British king, created a self-governing council.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The self-ruling system of Plymouth Colony had a strong impact on shaping democracy in both America and Great Britain. William Bradford’s book Of Plymouth Plantation was widely read in Britain. It influenced the political thought of the Puritan poet and politician John Milton, who was an assistant to Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan leader who later overthrew King Charles I and ruled Britain for five years.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In America, Plymouth Colony initiated a tradition of self-rule that was followed in Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In fact, Separatist minister Roger Williams, who was expelled by other Puritan leaders in Massachusetts Bay over his promotion of greater religious freedom and other disagreement, established Rhode Island specifically as a safe haven from religious persecution, thereby adding freedom of conscience to Plymouth’s self-governing model. (It was in Rhode Island that the first Sabbatarian Christians, fleeing religious persecution in England, would establish the first seventh-day-keeping congregations in America.)</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Historian and rabbi Ken Spiro points out about the Puritans: “Having had their right to worship denied by the decrees mandating uniform liturgy, the Puritans were anxious to make sure no human being ever held that power over the conscience of others. In the words of Puritan preacher Roger Williams (later founder of Rhode Island): ‘It is the will and command of God that conscience and worship be granted to all men in all nations and countries . . . An enforced uniformity of religion denies the principles of Christianity . . .’</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“A very significant political evolution was taking place in the New World. Unlike the Puritans in England who, of necessity, lived under English common law and were ruled by a king and Parliament, the Puritans of America had no central authority or national governing body. Yet they did not lapse into anarchy. Instead, they created communities governed by elected councils of elders similar to the ‘presbyters’ of England. Their communities were both stable and prosperous, with mandatory school systems modeled after the Jewish ones” (WorldPerfect, 2002, pp. 240, 249).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In this system, liberty was still to be rooted in following God and His laws yet by community agreement (see “The Puritan Aim of Living Under Divine Rule”).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Up to our present day, the United States has been a haven for many persecuted “pilgrims” from other lands and still practices widespread religious toleration. And America, despite its flaws, has served as a model of freedom to other nations.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A powerful legacy now eroded and upended</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="PS_11_3_93905900" name="PS_11_3_93905900"></a>Psalms 11:3).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Sadly, the strong Christian religious foundation that the Puritans laid has been quickly eroding over past decades. Polls in America uniformly show a steep decline in people who say they hold Christian beliefs, while morality has sunk to new lows.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">If the Puritans were to come back to life today, they would be appalled at what this country has become. It would be virtually unrecognizable to them as far as basic Christian morality is concerned.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Other past Christian leaders would likewise be shocked, such as George Washington, the first president of the United States. In his farewell address to the nation in leaving office, Washington warned: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports . . . Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religion.”</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The threat Washington was talking about is exactly what has happened in America today!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">As evangelical author Tim LaHaye brought out in his 1987 book Faith of Our Founding Fathers: “The United States was founded on more biblical principles than any other nation in history—the secret to America’s greatness. Those principles originally permeated our educational system, courts, public life, religious life and economic system, producing what President Ronald Reagan [who was in office when this was written] calls ‘traditional values.’</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“When these values prevailed, the quality of life from the family to the streets was far better than today. While citizens certainly did not have modern means of communication, mobility, or twenty-first century technology, neither did they endure streets that were unsafe for women after dark, a tragic rate of child molestation, 1 million teen pregnancies annually, and rampant violence and crime. We were certainly not known as ‘the pornography capital of the world.’</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Whenever we point to the need to return to traditional values, the humanists remonstrate that we want to take the country ‘back to the dark ages.’ In actuality, modern technology would be far more beneficial to mankind in an environment of ‘traditional values’ than it is in the permissive, humanistic society of today” (p. 34).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Societal decline foretold by God</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">What has happened to American society? In drifting farther and farther from God, it is plagued by real and worsening darkness. God knew this would happen all along and warned of it in the Bible.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He inspired the apostle Paul to describe the end of this age in writing to a fellow minister: “In the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God” (<a class="has-tip bls-abbr" id="2TM_3_1-4_95107400" name="2TM_3_1-4_95107400"></a>2 Timothy 3:1-4, New Living Translation).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">That is a succinct picture of much of society today!</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A far better new world is still ahead</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Yes, the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims is a very noteworthy event. But since secular humanism has now prevailed in schools, the press and government, the remarkable religious foundation of the nation is quickly crumbling—and much worse times lie before us.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Yet there is still good news ahead, for God has great plans for America and the rest of the world!.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The dreams of the early Pilgrim and Puritan fathers of a pure Christian society under the rule of God and His laws will be far exceeded in the wonderful new world God will bring at the return of Jesus Christ to the earth—a time of true and lasting righteousness and freedom in the ultimate promised land of the Kingdom of God!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<hr/><p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> .</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Puritan Aim of Living Under Divine Rule</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Though little recognized today, the Pilgrims and other Puritan settlers sought in the wilds of New England to establish the Kingdom of God on earth as they understood it, seeing themselves as a new Israel.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">As one source explains: “From the outset, the Puritans combed the King James Bible in search of precedents for a New World theocracy [with God as King]. In the separate but cooperative rule of Moses and his priestly brother, Aaron, for example, they found Biblical sanction for the twin offices of magistrate and minister. In the book of Acts they found precedents for the organization of their church: those congregations, in turn, provided a model for the town-meeting form of local government. Some Puritan leaders actually suggested making Hebrew the language of the colony” (“How the Bible Made America,”<em>Newsweek,</em> Dec. 27, 1982, p. 46).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">While Native Americans were regarded to some degree as Canaanite opposition, missionary work among them was seen as the chief objective. The First Charter of Massachusetts, in 1629, was written “for the directing, ruling, and disposing of all other matters and things, whereby our said people . . . may be so religiously, peaceably, and civilly governed, as their good life and orderly [conduct], may win and incite the natives of the country to the knowledge and obedience of the only true God and Savior of mankind and the Christian faith <em>. . .”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Setting up the Kingdom of God was central to the Puritan fathers’ national purpose. John Robinson, pastor of the settlers at Plymouth, expressed it clearly in his parting address to the Pilgrims: “As the prophetical and priestly office of Christ was completely vindicated in the first times of reformation, <em>so now the great cause and work of God’s reforming people is to set up His Kingdom”</em>(emphasis added throughout).</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In fact, the 1643 Articles of Confederation for Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Plymouth and New Haven declared, <em>“We all came into these parts of America with one and the same end and aim, namely, to advance the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to enjoy the liberties of the gospel in purities with peace.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">How was this to be achieved in New England? Jonathan Mitchel, famed Puritan writer, gave the answer in 1662: “In the Commonwealth, Christ’s Kingdom is set up, when all things therein are so ordered, (laws and all civil administrations) as doth most fitly and effectually tend to advance, promote, and maintain religion and reformation.” To this end, the Puritans set up a theonomist state, that is, one based upon the laws of God as found in the Bible. The 1644 New Haven Charter was written with the following stated purpose:<em>“</em><em>that the judicial laws of God, as they were delivered by Moses . . . be a rule to all the courts in this jurisdiction . . .”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><em>.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">How times have changed! But of course, as noble as their intentions were, their aims were not truly in accordance with the Bible, which explains that God’s Kingdom will not be established until Jesus Christ returns. Still we may marvel at the desire here—and lament how low the society founded on such principles has sunk in recent times, with outright rejection of any semblance of following God’s laws.</span></p>

<p><strong>Greetings</strong></p>
<p><strong>Fellow Citizens</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>This PERMANENT posting will serve to <strong>honor our long-time Member HELEN for her diligent civil activism</strong> in all concerned Parents' struggle to eradicate the scourge of the liberal communists' phony, "progressive", pseudo intellectual gibberish known as Common Core, which was a sinister socialist scheme to further "dumb-down", confound and confuse our Nation's youth, our Posterity.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The liberals <em><strong>( A.K.A. 'leftists )</strong></em> are, to this very day, continuing their assault on Traditional American Values with a further attack on basic Math Skills, portraying traditional mathematical teachings as "RACIST" in an absurd attempt to salvage their sainted Common Core Curriculum, which was roundly <em><strong>rebuked</strong></em> in the 2018 election in Florida, with the ascension of Ron DeSantis, the now governor of Florida, <em><strong>while patriots are still fighting tirelessly to eliminate Common Core.</strong></em> He is in the advanced stages of his attempts to completely dismantle this diabolically insidious program in Florida.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Politicians, like the Florida Governor, relied heavily on the grassroots support of concerned Citizens such as Member HELEN Wolff, for their rise to prominence. Concerned Citizens, like HELEN, with the guts to stand up and fight the evil which has infiltrated or crept into our systems and institutions are the "First Responders" in the war for America's soul. We need more like her.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Thank you, HELEN, for your courage.</span></p>
<p>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><strong>It has been a lesson in Valor, to all who stand, silently, on the sidelines.</strong></em></span></p>

<div><div class="entry-content"><p>SARASOTA COUNTY — <strong>An anti-Common Core Republican who spoke out against the standards at state hearings has turned her focus to the Sarasota County School Board.</strong></p>
<p><strong>“I believe I can make a difference in the local level,” said Helen Wolff, a Siesta Key resident who is challenging Democratic incumbent Shirley Brown for the District 4 seat on the five-member board. “I do believe we need to do better.”</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>But Brown argues her opponent is turning Common Core into a political issue, as she does not hear complaints from teachers or parents in the district.</p>
<p></p>
<p><a href="http://politics.heraldtribune.com/elections-2014/voter-guide/voters/search-form/">Click here for the Herald-Tribune's voter Guide</a></p>
<p>“We’re getting this outside static coming in. We need to make sure we don’t allow that to come to our board and cause discord,” said Brown, who is seeking her third term and is the only Democrat on the School Board. “It’s so very important to have strong stable leadership on the board and in the district so we keep focusing on continuing improvement with our students.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Wolff and Brown will square off in the Aug. 26 election in one of three contested seats for the School Board. School Board races are officially nonpartisan, but this race has a strong party undercurrent.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The District 4 winner — which will be decided outright in the primary — will get a four-year term that pays $38,625 annually.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Four candidates are competing for the District 1 seat — Velton Hodges, Ken Marsh, Paul Schafer and Bridget Ziegler.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Randy McLendon is challenging incumbent Jane Goodwin for the District 5 seat.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The candidates are elected countywide, although they are required to live in the district in which they are running.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The newly chosen board will be faced with hiring a replacement for Superintendent Lori White, who has announced plans to retire in 2017, and deciding when — or if — to place a 1-mill school tax on a future ballot to continue the optional levy.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Helen Wolff</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Wolff, who is from Belgium and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1996</strong>, worked as an interpreter for the Belgium consulate in New York. She also earned a degree in modern languages and secretarial studies, which taught her skills such as commercial writing, statistics and economics.</p>
<p></p>

<p class="wp-caption-text"></p>
</div>
<p>She has lived in Siesta Key for 25 years and became a stay-at-home mom, raising two sons who graduated from Sarasota High. Wolff, 55, is married to Andrew Wolff, an orthopedic surgeon.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Wolff said her understanding of finances would be an asset to the district.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“I’m common sense. I’m grounded in practicality. I’m aware of the education changes taking place,” she said.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Earlier this year, Wolff — who has not held political office before — spoke at two Florida State Board of Education hearings on Common Core. Common Core is a national set of standards approved by the Legislature in 2010 that determines what children at each grade level should know in math and language arts.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>The standards have been controversial, with critics saying using national standards usurps local control of education. In Florida, the state has approved a slightly changed version and renamed it the Florida Standards.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“Sarasota County, being a top-performing district, can do better than those standards,” said Wolff, adding that regaining local control is an important issue for her.</p>
<p></p>
<p>She has been active in the Tea Party but said she plans to run a nonpartisan campaign.</p>

<p></p>
<ul>
<li><div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend"><i>Election results should be added.</i> I was defeated by a Democrat career politician in August 26, 2014 primary "sudden death" election. In my humble opinion, this rule should be changed! My race had the largest turnout i.e. 50,614 votes in which I obtained 16,991 or 33.57% of the votes. For a nobody who never ran for office before, this was a stunning result! I ran "last minute", I believe a total of 9 weeks, because the other Republican candidate was terminally ill and had to withdraw. </div>
</li>
<li><div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">In addition to signs disappearing at an alarming rate, the opponent's partisans had some additional fun, LOL, see attachment.<br clear="none"/>I might have had a better chance had the election for this race been in the general November election where many more people vote. In 2018, in a much closer race, another Republican, Karen Rose, attempted to unseat Ms. Brown but was defeated, <b>despite union AND Republican Party support</b>. That School Board race counted 91,392 votes of which Karen Rose garnered 45,287 or 49.55%. Karen Rose will run in another district in 2020 in an attempt to unseat another "dinosaur"... So far, NOBODY has defeated Ms. Brown...</div>
</li>
<li><div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">While I don't regret and appreciated the opportunity to run for "non-partisan" office, I can honestly say I don't have it in me to run for office again. There are patriots who fight and patriots who help the fighters. I will always be part of the latter. One thing I realized is that the political parties have far too much power!</div>
</li>
<li><div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">American <b>FIRST.</b>.. although Belgian from origin.</div>
</li>
<li><div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">The only word I would change, would be <b>liberals</b> and change it to LEFTISTS. As Dennis Prager states, the biggest fear of liberals should be leftists, not Republicans... Allen Dershowitz said so much... Unfortunately, there are few liberals left!</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend"></div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">Where de we go from here? Six years later, Common Core "has left the station", is fully implemented, and the new national sex standards are in full swing, together with social-emotional learning/manipulation. The dumbing down of our youngsters in government schools is nearing completion and the same people who signed on to Common Core are STILL serving on the School Board! </div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend"></div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">While I do believe in cycles throughout history, I fear we might have lost a generation. Should we be blessed with grandchildren onr day, we most likely would commit to helping home school, <b>IF</b> still around or allowed... yes, home schooling is under attack as well. </div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">I do think charter schools are a band aid to the problem, albeit, perhaps, well-intended. </div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">The same people who made $ off Common Core are making $ off charter schools. </div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">Some of our unethical politicians have their fingers in the Charter School pot as well. </div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">The more things change, the more they stay the same; short of a massive parent uprising, nothing will change!</div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">Regardless, this patriot will NEVER, EVER give up fighting for liberty (= freedom + morals)</div>
<div id="yiv3797804437appendonsend">G-d help the USA!</div>

<p></p>
<p><strong>Shirley Brown</strong></p>
<p>Growing up, Brown dropped out of high school and started working full-time operating a switchboard at a car dealership to support her mother, a single parent raising six children at home.</p>
<div id="attachment_50879" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://3aqimy3fzwia30zhn03howz2.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/files/2014/08/school04brown.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-50879" src="http://3aqimy3fzwia30zhn03howz2.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/files/2014/08/school04brown-150x150.jpg" alt="Shirley Brown" width="150" height="150"/></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shirley Brown</p>
</div>
<p>“To this day, that was one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t walk down to the aisle and get my diploma and didn’t go to college,” said Brown, 61, who later received her GED as an adult.</p>
<p>Her background made her realize how a child’s home life can impact his education.</p>
<p>“I think it’s important we look at children who are falling through the cracks. Kids who drop out aren’t always the kids who aren’t able to keep up,” Brown said.</p>
<p>Brown was a Florida state representative from 1992 to 2000, experience that she said taught her the complicated nuances of the state funding and makes her a key player on the School Board.</p>
<p>“I sort of am the interpreter between what Tallahassee says and what our finance department says,” Brown said. “It’s good to speak both languages.”</p>
<p>In 2006, she ran and won her first term on the School Board.</p>
<p>“I thought what we needed was some leadership and stability. I thought I could help bring that to the board. And I think I did,” Brown said, adding she is proud of the district’s A-rating and its savings on recent construction projects. “The headlines in the paper are so much different than what they were 10 years ago.”</p>
<p>Brown’s two children attended Sarasota High and her grandchildren are enrolled in Gulfgate Elementary and Pine View School. Her daughter is a kindergarten teacher at Phillippi Shores Elementary. Brown’s husband, Jack, is retired from running the family business, Gulf Coast Collection Bureau.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Greetings</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fellow Citizens,</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">REAL CONSERVATIVES Members…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Greetings</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fellow Citizens,</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">REAL CONSERVATIVES Members</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are entering our tenth year of operation, first posting in April, 2009.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This communique is to express our sincere gratitude for your steadfast, loyal and continuous Membership in this endeavor to defend the Values that we, as 'Real' Conservatives cherish as a Nation of Free People. Whenever, and wherever, Free men gather in the name of Liberty, with divine blessing, it should be commemorated, and noticed for all Posterity to see, that they shall never forget. <em>This site is such a place in eternal time.</em> <em><strong>You, the honored Members, are such a gathering.</strong> This sentiment is what inspired the <strong>"Declaration of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">INDEPENDENTS</span>"</strong> found throughout these forums.</em> <strong>You</strong><em>, the Independent Voter, <strong>are the Heroes</strong> of that Declaration. </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This site was founded upon the realization that <strong><em>our institutions were being infiltrated by politicians who sought your votes promising to uphold Traditional American Values...CONSERVATIVE values, and who, upon becoming duly elected on the faith you gave them, went to Washington, D.C. and betrayed that well intentioned trust you had placed in them.</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It had become increasingly obvious that those criminal politicians were not 'really' conservative. It seemed as though they had a different, esoteric agenda all along, once they had arrived at their seats of power. The breadth of their treachery ranged from what some who became known as R I N O S, to outright, bold faced communists. Traitors, all. They were not Real Conservatives. <strong>They were Fake. And they gained power through fraud, nearly driving this country into oblivious ruin.</strong> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is why the name, REAL CONSERVATIVES, was chosen for this site. There was a desperate need to counteract the fakery with reality. It was then decided that REAL CONSERVATIVES would become a <em><strong>central REAL "Conservative voice from the grassroots"</strong></em> that exposed those 'FAKE' conservatives, upholding Traditional American Values.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Hence, our name, "REAL" CONSERVATIVES.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><span style="line-height: 24.2667px;">Prophetically, there was a young man, ironically an entertainer, who years ago, before his sad demise, in 1993, stated it in words that ring eerily true today:</span></em></span></p>

You, all of you, have fought in a long, hard struggle for the soul of this beloved Nation we call America. <strong>You've achieved many victories fighting many battles.

<p style="text-align: left;"></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We feel that, since you, the current set of Patriots, Members here at REAL CONSERVATIVES, have been such a vital part of our struggles during our first ten years, that it would be <strong>appropriate, in some small way, to afford each of you the recognition you deserve</strong>.</span></p>

<p><strong>Greetings</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>...to our Nation's Youth</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Youth of America, here’s a brief lesson confronting those loony liberals who are forever running from a flood of facts- including the truth about the Benghazi debacle, massive unchecked Clinton corruption, fetid swill in the DC swamp and all those Obama holdovers in Washington who can only be likened to rotten leftovers left too long in the the federal fridge. <em><strong>And did I mention the Mueller fiasco? Therein lies the liberal plot to unseat a sitting president who won the 2016 election fair and square- without any help from Russia!</strong></em></p>
<p>.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, the Clinton campaign paid millions of dollars through a former British spy to obtain false information from Russian sources. That “Trump Dossier” was then used by the Obama administration to obtain a FISA warrant under criminal pretenses to spy on American citizens, precipitating the present witch hunt orchestrated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Our precious Constitution hangs by a slender thread as diabolic lies of the extreme left attempt to destroy a patriotic president who has actually kept his campaign promises. It’s all about your lives, your liberty and your pursuit of happiness.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><em><strong>President Trump opposes continuing the long liberal legacy of rampant unfettered abortion- which is nothing less than legalized mass murder of unborn heroism, genius and leadership.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>The President wants secure schools</strong> so you will be protected from crazed gunmen bent on the mass murder of innocent children.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><strong>He wants to secure our borders</strong>, keeping out dangerous criminals and deadly drugs- so you will be much more safe and secure in your homes and neighborhoods.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><strong>President Trump wants a strong military to protect you</strong> from foreign domination and even murder. And by the way, protecting the USA from our enemies, both foreign and domestic, is the main responsibility of our federal government, and the Commander-in-chief.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Our President led the fight for the current tax reform which is helping your parents provide a better quality of life for you- and for the families you, yourselves, will eventually raise in America. Furthermore, in a short time he has, almost miraculously, resurrected the American economy, so you as young adults will find rewarding employment to provide for those future families.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Liberal lies for generations have wrecked our culture and weakened our nation.</strong></em> Those lies yet mock our traditional Judaeo-Christian values that preserve our liberty and way of life.</p>
<p>,</p>
<p><em>Liberty is its own best protector</em>- especially your freedom of speech to denounce the lies of the left and also the right to bear arms to defend yourselves from all tyranny- both foreign and domestic. A wise Japanese general once declared, “If you invade America, you will find a rifle behind every blade of grass.” More importantly, your political views freely and eloquently expressed will always have more power and effect than the ruthless weapons of war.</p>
<p>,</p>
<p>Finally, as as a poet recently said of Lady Liberty, <em><strong>“She raised her torch for all to see that men might prize their liberty- but rare the man who understands til freedom passes from his hands.”</strong></em> My fellow citizens, be strong, be true and above all, be heard in defense of liberty!</p>
<p>,</p>
<p><strong>God Bless America</strong></p>
