RPOF TAKE OUT AMERICA FIRST INDIVIDUALS BUT WILL NOT TAKE OUT GRUTERS FOR SUPPORTING FLORIDA AMENDMENT 3
What can be described, as nothing more than the Free State of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his RPOF being lackeys for his multimillion-dollar donors like Carlos Beruff and Pat Neal are recent letters, which have been sent out by DeSantis go-for Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chairman Evan Power.

The Power letter suspended the MREC was AFTER his appointed and endorsed Pedicini and Beruff’s handpicked candidates were defeated in continuing the Beruff/ Pedicini Manatee County Commission SHIT SHOW.”
The recent letters sent out by Power on behalf of the RPOF concerning the RPOF thug’s takeover of the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee (MREC) exemplifies an organization that needs to be totally reorganized once Donald Trump becomes President once again.
A MAFIA LIKE THUG POWER PICKS AND CHOSSES WHO HE TAKES OUT
Brunni
How can a thug like Power in the name of a Mafia type RPOF suspend the MREC and take out Connie Brunni the President of the Sarasota County Assembly for violating RPOF rules and not take the RPOF National Committeeman Joe Gruters for promoting Florida Amendment 3?
Gruters
It is incredible that the RPOF National Committeeman and Florida State Senator Joe Gruters is traveling the country promoting the lethal gate way drug marijuana that researched studies link marijuana, now at times laced with fentanyl leads to depression, anxiety, suicide planning, and psychotic episodes. Gruters is promoting Amendment 3, which is being opposed by the RPOF and DeSantis and not word from those clowns..
Culbreath with the equally inept SREC Chairman Jack Brill
Gruters is the same individual who made the asinine statement in the RPOF MAFIA taking control of the MREC: “The Republican Party is not picking sides." What planet is Gruters presently residing on to make that statement, as the Beruff/Pedicini flunky April Culbreath remains Chair of the MREC.
Mast/Pedicini/Rainford
POWER TAKES OUT BRUNNI AND LEAVES MAST AND RAINFORD IN PLACE
How can Power in the name of the RPOF take out Brunni for putting out voter guides and not take out Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee members Teresa Mast and Neal Rainford for collaborating with the Republican Party Lavender political operative Anthony Pedicini with over $545,OO0 in fake voter guides?
The reason is very simple—THE RPOF Mafia is a corrupt political origination under the control of establishment UNI PARTY Tallahassee RINO gangsters out to destroy Trump America First individuals and organizations.
The latest letter sent out to members of the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee (MREC) initiating a “Turn Around Plan” for the MREC was sent out by Power on 9/23/24.
The letter was sent after the RPOF Executive Board made up of DeSantis establishment flunky gangsters suspended the MREC on 9/7/24 and “tasked Chairman Evan Power with devising an action plan at a future meeting in a couple of weeks.“
The suspension of the MREC according to DeSantis flunkies at the RPOF Executive Board was “because we just can't figure out what's going on there with hundreds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits.”
What DeSantis flunkies failed to state is that the initiated "hundereds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits were initated against Beruff and his political operative Pedicini handpicked chairman of the MREC, Culbreath.
The question needs to be asked, why did DeSantis’s RPOF and his flunky Power failed to act when those “hundreds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits” were all initiated against Beruff and his political operative Pedicini handpicked chairman of the MREC, Culbreath?
Jensen/Benerson/Beruff/Neal
This RPOF “Action Plan” is nothing more than a hack politician DeSantis in the pockets of local gangster developers, who have corrupted Manatee and Sarasota County Commission and other local government entities taking out America First organizers.
It is impossible to believe that DeSantis has not given tacit approval for the thug Power to move on America First organizations. Anything is possible with DeSantis considering his disastrous campaign in knifing former President Donald Trump in the back running against Trump for President in 2024.
How else could anyone describe the letter sent out on 9/23/2024 from DeSantis’s flunky Chairman of the RPOF, Power to the members of the MREC, as nothing more than a hack politician like DeSantis paying back his donors stuffed in their pockets.

POWER'S "ACTION PLAN" IS TO TAKE OUT AMERICA FIRST ORGANIZERS
The Power RPOF, “Action Plan” leaves the Chairwoman of the Manatee County Republican Executive Board (MREC), Culbreath in place and takes out their enemies on the MREC. It is incredible that the “the action plan” being put in place in reorganizing the MREC after suspending the organization leaves Culbreath as Chairman.
Wayman
Instead of a suggestion of recently elected MREC State Committeeman Trent Wayman of replacing Culbreath and allow the Vice Chairman of the MREC running the daily activities of the MREC, an individual out of Tallahassee appointed by Power and assisted by three more Power flunkies out of Tallahassee on the RPOF Grievance Committee will be running day-to-day activities at the MREC.
Wright and May
Power could care less that two of the most respected leaders of Manatee County Republican conservatives' organizations Jack May and Kevin Wright are strongly against leaving Culbreath as Chairwoman and the Power RPOF action plan.
Those organizations are the Manatee Patrioits and the Manatee County Liberty Caucus. The members of these organization were a major reason Beruff and Pedicini were taken down in the August 2024 Primary.
Likewise, Power and his RPOF Executive Board could less that those involved in the “hundreds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits were the former Treasurer of the MRC Bruce Stamm, the former Secretary of the MREC Marnie Matarese, former Manatee County Commissioner and past Manatee County REC Chair Donna Hayes and many other MREC members. That list included Michelle Martain, Trent Wayman, Jennifer Wayman, Dianne Brinkley, Stacy Jessee among many others.
Both Stamm and Matarese said they resigned from the Manatee REC's executive board in December over financial management concerns, and that the committee's coffers have dwindled by about $42,200 over the past year because of a lack of donations.
The directives concerning the RPO takeover of the MREC resembled action taken by a South America Junta or a Mafia thug suspending the constitutional rights taken by the general public to take back their government.
For example, Power will appoint a Field Director to take over the MREC office. Power will appoint three RPOF Grievance Committee members to assist the Field Director in day-to-day MREC activities. All these appointed individuals appointed by Power do not reside in Manatee County.
The RPOF Mafia will have full access and assume full control of MREC financial activities. All current officers except Culbreath’s chairmanship is suspended. All meetings by Republican organization other RPOF sanction organizations will be subject to RPOF MAFIA Grievance Committee action.
Power will appoint individuals for membership or officers in the MREC. Power to remove MREC members, who violate RPOF rules and work together with another group to disrupt MREC moving forward. In the post November election cycle the RPOF MAFIA will appoint rebuilding leadership with RPOF approval.
A longtime observer of the RPOF has stated to the Sarasota Phoenix that never has he observed, despite grievous actions by a Florida REC has he ever witnessed such a takeover of the RPOF, as witnessed with the MREC.
THE POWER TAKE OVER OF MREC IS RESPONSE TO PEDICINI REPUTATION IN TATTERS AS POWER LEAVES CULBREATH AS CHAIR OF MREC
The same Culbreath that Power leaves as Chair of the MREC is along with other clients of the establishment Republican Lavender political operative Anthony Pedicini, who got destroyed in continuing the Manatee County Commissioner SHIT SHOW.
Castor and Pedicini
Culbreath and the other clients of the liberal Democrat Mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor favorite RINO, Pedicini got handed their lunch by grassroots organizers taking back their Manatee Government in the pockets of DeSantis’s million-dollar donors.
Pedicini's Manatee County Commission SHIT SHOW
Culbreath was nothing more than part of a group of Pedicini candidates financed by DeSantis multimillion donors, who have DeSantis stuffed in their pockets and were to continue turning the Manatee County Commission into one crooked and corrupt SHIT SHOW.
CULBREATH WAS TO INSURE BUCHANAN BEAT DOWN
Culbreath, as Chairwoman of the MREC was also to ensure that U.S Congressman Vern Buchanan had no problem taking down his opponent for the 16th U.S Congressional District, Eddie Speir.
SREC Chairman Brill turned the Manatee and Sarasota Republican Party “Round Up” before the 8/20/24 primary at the Sarasota County Fairground into a Buchanan led event with all of Speir supporters barred from the event
Buchanan with he hopes to depose as Chairman of U.S House of Representaive Ways and Means Committee Jason Smith
Buchanan has been raising $millions for Johnson to retain control of the House and Johnson continuing as Speaker of the House of Representatives to appoint Buchanan Chairman of the U.S House of Representatives.
Speir embarrassed the Republican establishment Vice Chairman of the U.S House of Representee Ways and Means Committee Vern Buchanan In gaining 40% of the vote against Buchanan in the recent 11th U.S Congressional campaign.
Buchanan is the same Republican establishment politician, who two years previously sucked up to former U.S Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. Buchanan had raised $millions for McCarthy to appoint Buchanan Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
When McCarthy threw the multi-millionaire Longboat political hack Buchanan under the bus, Buchanan lashed out a McCarthy and sulked off to his 30-million-dollar mansion on Longboat Key.
Johnson and McCarthy
Now two years later, Buchanan has used his mansion on Longboat Key to have McCarthy’s replacement Mike Johnson put together a fund raiser to raise $millions for Johnson so that this former glorified used car salesman Buchanan can become Chairman of the U.S House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee.
POWER ACTION PLAN HAS GRUTERS FLUNKY DiNAPOLI IN MREC LEADERSHIP TEAM
DiNapoli and Gruters
The Power “action plan” that will “identify and select leadership team at the MREC and have the a thee member Grievance team assist the new leadership team in the day-to-day activities” will include Richard DiNapoli.
DiNapoli is another establishment RPOF Lavender Group member, who is a soulmate of former RPOF Chairman Gruters and was appointed by Gruters to the Grievance Committee. DiNapoli major duty was to take out Gruters RPOF opponents and buried complaints against Gruters and his cronies.
Gruters, who as Chairman of the RPOF refused to allow grievances filed against his flunky, DeNapoli. Grievances among others concerned felony voter fraud in an election and lying about his military service.
This same Gruters soulmate DiNapoli, whose major duty was to take out Gruters opponents and bury complaints against Gruters is now part of the RPOF MAFIA to reorganize the MREC.
GRUTERS BAG MAN-JONES
Another ally of Gruters’ at the now Power Grievance Committee to take down the MREC is Gruters bagman Stafford Jones, who dirtied up the RPOF politically and financially under Gruters and now under Power.
Gruters who is now the RPOF MAFIA National Committeeman under Power’s RPOF leadership is the same individual, who has a PAC (Florida Conservatives United) managed by Jones out of the Coates law firm in Tallahassee. The PAC has over $3.6 million in contributions and over $2.8 million in expenditures.
Gruters, who has no problem with the RPOF MAFIA takeover of the MREC allowed Jones to use RPOF funds to funnel $millions through his Dirty Dark PAC out of the Coates law firm in Tallahassee to stuff politicians into “Pay to Play” developers corrupting local governments..
Schorsch
The same RPOF MAFIA that saw Gruters and DeNapoli along with Pedicini and Peter Schorsch of FLORIDA POLITICS' and other Gruters "allies" attack over the past few years, America First Republican conservatives on their Pro Life and Pro Family proposals.
Gruters is the same RPOF MAFIA National Committeeman under Power’ with no problem suspending the MREC, who introduced legislation (SB 438) in 2020 aimed at ending workforce discrimination against LGBTQ Floridians.
Stemberger
After introducing that bill, Conservative activist John Stemberger called on Gruters to resign as the chairman of the RROF. Stemberger, president of the Orlando-based Florida Family Policy Council, wrote, “No state Republican Party chairman in the history of America has ever supported a bill this dangerous and irresponsible.
DeSANTIS AND HIS DONORS FINGERS ALL OVER RPOF TAKE OVER
This action by Power in suspending the MREC and putting a place a Power handpicked team was no doubt taken on behalf of DeSantis multimillion-dollar donors, who control the RPOF and DeSantis to maintain control of the MREC.
For example, DeSantis’ RPOF suspended the MREC – AFTER his appointed and endorsed Pedicini and Beruff’s handpicked candidates were defeated in continuing the Beruff/ Pedicini Manatee County Commission SHIT SHOW.W
Wayman and Heisse
DeSantis cronies at the RPOF Executive Board also suspended the MREC – AFTER grassroots activists Wayman and Jacqueline Heisse became MREC State Committee man and woman.” In addition, DeSantis had the MREC suspended after Eddie Speir announced he would seek to be Chairman of the MREC.
How else could anyone describe the letter sent out on 9/23/2024 from DeSantis’s flunky Chairman of the RPOF, Power to the members of the MREC, as nothing more than a hack politician like DeSantis paying back his donors stuffed in their pockets.
The suspension of the MREC according to DeSantis flunkies was “because we just can't figure out what's going on there with hundreds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits.”
What DeSantis flunkies failed to state is that that the “hundreds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits” were all initiated against Beruff and his political operative Pedicini handpicked chairman of the MREC, Culbreath.
The question needs to be asked, why did DeSantis’s RPOF and his flunky Power failed to act when those “hundreds of grievances, police reports and lawsuits” were all initiated against Beruff and his political operative Pedicini handpicked chairman of the MREC, Culbreath?
DeSantis’ RPOF only suspended the MREC – AFTER his appointed and endorsed Pedicini and Beruff’s handpicked candidates were defeated in continuing the Beruff/ Pedicini Manatee County Commission SHIT SHOW.”
Speir summed up the Power RPOF take over in this manner: "When we administer a defeat against the establishment Republican Party, they don't like it and use this RPOF suspension as a retribution. They are trying to kill off the grassroots of the local Republican Party. This is nothing more than retaliation for what happened in taking back our government in Manatee County.
