Richard Mack, former Sheriff of Graham County Arizona gained national acclaim in 1994 when he filed suit against the Clinton Administration challenging the Constitutionality of the Brady bill. On June 24th, 1997, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Brady Bill was in fact unconstitutional and that the Federal Government could not commandeer state or county officers for federal bidding.

Sheriff Mack has made it his life mission to now educate law enforcement officers as well as American citizens the meaning of being a Constitutional Law Enforcement Officer. He now heads up the national office of  Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Associations (CSPOA).

The Constitution Party of Florida and I will be bringing Sheriff Mack to Florida in October, 2011. In 2012 all 67 Florida County Sheriffs are up for re-election. It is critical that the voters of Florida get educated on the importance of electing true Constitutional Sheriffs before the 2012 elections. In the face of continual encroachment of federal tyranny, the county Sheriffs truly are “America’s Last Hope!

If every conservative American read this book, it would change the face of American politics and I believe we could eliminate our debt and our deficit and once and for all the American public could demand that we go back to sound money (Gold & Silver) and require a full-blown investigation into the Federal Reserve cartel that has been raping this nation since it’s inception in 1913.

The “Creature From Jeckyl Island” is the most informative book about the Federal Reserve cartel, fractional reserve banking and the history of the liberal progressives movement in this country. Every patriotic American should read this book!

You can order the book and your free silver dollar from the  company Midas Resources Inc. 3105 Sibley Memorial HI., Eagan, MN 55121. 1-800-312-6432 or 1-800-686-2237.

The subject of this post is one of the most serious threats to the survival of our Republic.

The Dumbing down of America over the last 100 years did not happen by accident. It was intentionally designed and implemented by the enemies of freedom, the so-called intellectual elite who don’t have enough sense to come in out of the rain. But their pride, arrogance, greed, lust for power and self-deception would lead them to believe that the greatest Country that has ever existed and the Constitution and our faith in Almighty God upon which America was built was not good; so they zealously set out on a slow but methodical quest to destroy the greatest academic, economic, political system ever devised by man. And now here we are at the end of 2010, on the verge of moral, spiritual, economic and political collapse.

Those who were formerly vilified and marginalized as wild-eyed conspiracy nuts have now been vindicated. As the real power brokers of the world (the Rockefellers, the DuPonts, George Soros and other members of the Council on Foreign Relations, The Tri-Lateral Commission and the Bilderbergers) now openly speak of a “New-World Order.” and a “One world Government.”

John D. Rockefeller, patriarch of the Rockefeller dynasty was quoted as saying “I don’t want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers.” Rockefeller then set out with the help of men like John Dewey to totally revamp America’s education system and here we are about 100 years later.

This is a very deep subject, and I have only scratched the surface. I hope it will piss you off as much as it does me and that you will take the time to do the further research. Especially you educators who consider yourselves patriots. You have been entrusted with the sacred honor and privilege to mold the mind of America’s youth. It is up to you and their parent’s to make sure that they get a good education. Not this crap that passes for education today.

The first thing that needs to happen is the NEA needs to be dismantled. The U.S. Constitution gives the Federal government NO POWER OR AUTHORITY over education. The U.S. Congress only has 18 enumerated powers and education is not one of them. Education should be left up to the States and local communities where parent’s have a say into the quality of their children’s education.

I would like to close with one of my favorite quotes by William F. Buckly Jr.

“I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.”

County Sheriff’s have the authority to stop the Federal Government from imposing unconstitutional law in their Counties. For example if the Feds came into your county and asked the Sheriff to collect everyone’s guns, (a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution) the Sheriff’s would have two choices.

• Choice #1: Obey the order given by the Feds.
• Choice #2: Uphold the sacred oath that they took to uphold and defend the U. S. Constitution and their State’s Constitution.

Do you know for a fact what the Sheriff of your county would do?

This is a good opportunity to find out. Every Sheriff should be required to read the U.S. Constitution and state in writing to the citizens of their county that if given an unconstitutional order by the Federal Government that they would stand their ground and uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution and their State’s sovereignty.

Here are two examples of Constitutional Sheriffs.

Sheriff Mack now travels all over America educating citizens about the proper role of the County Sheriff and State’s Rights.

Before you vote for the next Sheriff of your county make sure you know where he/she stands on following orders or upholding the U.S. and State Constitutions. THIS IS CRITICAL!

Constitution Party candidate: Tea Party favors GOP

The U.S. Senate candidate from the Constitution Party had hoped to speak to a bunch of people who swear fealty to the U.S. Constitution and who will gather today in St. Augustine to celebrate the nation’s founding charter at an event held under the headline “Forward With the Constitution.”

But that candidate is not going to deliver his speech.

In fact, he was rejected from even having a booth to meet the crowd that will gather at Francis Field, where a coalition of Tea Party activists from North Central Florida, including some from Ocala and Gainesville, will rally to celebrate the Constitution.

Now, the campaign of Bernie DeCastro, an Ocala resident representing the Constitution Party, is questioning whether the Tea Partiers’ mission is to work independently of both major parties to demand greater adherence to the principles of the Founding Fathers, as it claims.

It seems, DeCastro said, that the group’s real aim is to slant toward the Republican Party and retool it in their own image.

The answer from one Tea Party enthusiast — at least for now — appears to be yes, with emphasis on the latter.

The issue began a few weeks ago when DeCastro sought to speak at the St. Augustine rally.

His request was eventually denied.

Viability issue

Organizers said they excluded DeCastro because they had not heard of him, their schedule for the four-hour rally was already booked and he was not “viable” in a race dominated by the presence of Gov. Charlie Crist, U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek and Marco Rubio.

As it turns out, Rubio is billed as one of the featured speakers, along with GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott and Pam Bondi, the Republican nominee for state attorney general.

Meanwhile, organizers have allowed Alex Snitker, the Libertarian Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, to address the gathering only because he has a “following” in the St. Augustine area.

That, along with the response from Glenn Lord, a member of the Peoples Tea Party in Jacksonville and the main organizer of today’s event, has stumped DeCastro’s team about the Tea Partiers’ motives and political hopes.

“Personally and overwhelmingly all the area Tea Party groups believe that any third party candidates help the Democrats and hurt the chances of electing people with conservative views,” Lord wrote in an e-mail to DeCastro’s campaign.

“Toward curing that, in a couple of years the Tea Party should own the Republican Party and in 2012 the candidates that will be supported and selected in the primary will be true conservatives,” he added. “There will still be third party candidates who wish to fight the system rather than work inside to change it and they will continue to hurt conservatives.”

Lord offered to let DeCastro speak and “possibly be a headliner” if another rally were held.

But, he concluded, “My personal advice is to repair the wheel that is broken, not go back to the drawing board to re-invent it.”

Lord, in an e-mail response to the Star-Banner, reiterated that DeCastro had been barred because of time constraints.

Not just the GOP

Yet he also maintained that the “Forward With the Constitution” rally, and in a larger sense the Tea Party movement itself, was not a Republican-only affair.

For example, Lord identified Tom Hayes-Morrison, a Democrat who is prominent in the Gainesville Tea Party, as one of the emcees. And Meek was invited to attend but declined — something Meek’s campaign confirmed.

“For the Tea Party movement it is not at all about party, it is about where can we be effective and that has the Republicans and Democrats scared to death,” Lord added in his e-mail to the newspaper.

But some believe the lineup in St. Augustine shows that the Tea Party is only interested in hearing the Republican mantra.

“While I and my campaign fully support all Tea Party members and rallies for restoring America, I believe the response of leaders for the ‘Forward With the Constitution’ event in St. Augustine has been irresponsible, dishonest and contrary to the spirit for which the Tea Parties stand,” DeCastro said in a statement.

DeCastro further added that it was disingenuous as well as hypocritical for the organizers to claim they are unbiased toward all parties but then to acknowledge that their best hopes lie with taking control of the GOP.DeCastro said the organizers’ position, including excluding him from having a booth at the site, “appears to be a deliberate attempt to force their own will and opinions on the people of these inspirational and dedicated Tea Party Patriots.”

DeCastro also observed that Rubio, as far as his campaign staff could determine, had never been vetted by a Tea Party, nor even attended a Tea Party event, until now.

Steve Schonberg, a Belleview resident who is challenging U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Ocala, and running without a party affiliation, said he agrees with the Tea Party’s main points about fiscal responsibility and strict adherence to the Constitution.

He had an impression of who the audience in St. Augustine would be and hoped to profit from it.

“It’s really not a Tea Party organization, as far as I’m concerned,” Schonberg said. “It’s really a Republican gathering. I want to go and encourage those Tea Partiers who are unhappy with Cliff Stearns.”

Mary Clark, vice president of Tea Party Solutions in Ocala, which has members supportive of DeCastro, said DeCastro should have been added to the lineup.

“It grieves me because I think Bernie ought to be allowed to speak. That’s not right. Bernie DeCastro has voiced his opinions and his opinions are in line with Tea Party principles. Bernie has shown his allegiance to support the Constitution.”

Looking to win

Some Tea Party activists have gone beyond grassroots demonstrations and are actually looking to get their people elected, forming the Florida TEA party.

They also have a candidate, Peg Dunmire of Orlando, who is challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando, whose district includes much of eastern Marion County.

Lord countered in his e-mail that Florida TEA Party “has nothing to do with the movement and is a ploy funded in part by Grayson” — an allegation TEA Party leaders have vigorously denied.

Lord also pointed out that he has tried to make a third party work. He was a registered Libertarian until earlier this year and had worked on Ross Perot’s campaign.

“The Libertarian Party has had years to make a mark and failed, as has every other third party,” he said. “Working outside the system has failed and I challenge anyone to name where and when a third party has ever succeeded aside from one or two races. Do we remember the huge victories of any third party?”

Sheriff Mack Endorses Bernie DeCastro for U.S. Senate

The Bernie DeCastro team is proud to announce the endorsement of Sheriff Richard Mack. Sheriff Mack is one of America’s modern day Patrick Henry’s. “In 1994 he, (Mack), filed a lawsuit challenging the Brady bill to stop the federal government from forcing another unfunded mandate down our throats. He won a decision at the US Supreme Court on the issue of States’ rights. This suit catapulted him to national attention, with television appearances on the Donahue Show, Good Morning America, Crossfire, Nightline, CNBC, and SHOWTIME’S the AMERICAN CANDIDATE. He has been on over 500 radio talk shows nationwide, ranging from G. Gordon Liddy and Charles Goyette to Derry Brownfield and Pat Buchannan. He has traveled the country extensively and he has seen first hand the horrible side effects from politicians who have replaced our Constitution with their own political agendas and party platforms.” For more information on America’s Constitutional Sheriff visit Sheriff Mack’s Website.

One of the most interesting things about campaigning all over the State are the people you meet on a regular basis. I have met poor people, rich people, hispanic people, african american people, white people, retired people, talented people, business people, polite people, rude people, young people, dedicated people, open minded people, died in the wool republican people, blind faith democrat people, independently minded people, religious people, apathetic people, and yes passionate people.

When you speak to over ten thousand people yourself, you hear it all. I have greatly appreciated the many ideas I have been given by those who are concerned about the future of this country. Your contributions can be seen in my platform. I will never claim to have all the answers. I am not perfect, but I will always strive to provide solutions as your next U.S. Senator from the great State of Florida.

Today I wanted the opportunity to share with you an email we received from a gracious man who has been on our newsletter list. Below you will see a copy of his letter to our campaign that is unedited and untouched. After reading this email many will wonder why my campaign is publishing it’s content. The answer to your questions are very simple. This concern that Mr. Liverette brings up in his commentary for this race, is an argument I have heard just about everyday since I started this race. Here is his letter.

Bernie,

Thank you for running for U.S. Senate

However, it would be better not to split votes.  Marco Rubio has a better chance of winning and I’m sure you know that.  Drop out and help Rubio take the Senate away from Charlie.  Your candidacy will help Crist win.  We cannot have that.  I am not affiliated with the Rubio campaign.  I’m just a concerned citizen who can see the hand-writing on the wall.

Jerry Liverette
Dunnellon, FL

What is my response to this letter and to many of you who share Mr. Liverette’s opinion?

Marco Rubio is not a Conservative. Nor is he a person willing to “take on the liberal Obama agenda”, as he so often says. But this is not my opinion. This “accusation” is based on facts and Mr. Rubio’s own record. If all of you are still reading I would like to give you some facts to back up this strong statement. Below are some glaring differences between myself and Mr. Rubio.

1. I believe in the God given Right to Life! I believe that life begins at conception. For this reason I support the Personhood Amendment, (which ascribes life at the point of conception), Mr. Rubio refuses to support the Personhood Amendment. For proof go to http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2009/09/personhood_amendment_could_out.php
2. I will fight and oppose Obama’s and Pelosi’s Cap & Trade at any cost. While speaker of the Florida House Mr. Rubio Co-sponsored a Cap & Trade bill for Florida.  For proof go to http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/12/11/1376504/marco-rubio-accused-of-switching.html
3. I believe like Glenn Beck that a return to God and the Constitution are the remedies for the serious problems this country faces. That is why I signed Glenn Beck’s 912 Pledge. Mr. Rubio has not signed the 912 pledge and many Conservatives are wondering why. For proof go to http://912candidates.org/fl/

My friends I could go on and on. These are just three areas where someone claiming to be a Conservative has NO EXCUSE! I am running because I believe we are past the issue of winning and losing, but instead should be asking what is RIGHT and WRONG. Don’t get me wrong I am in this to WIN! I have traveled to ninety-four cities so far and I have personally spoken to over ten thousand people. But I will not quit and support a man whose only interest seems to be winning at any cost, even at the cost of our Constitution. I will not support one Liberal of a lesser caliber to win over a Liberal of greater caliber, and speaking of caliber I am the only U.S. Senate Candidate that offers more than lip service to the 2nd Amendment. I am a proud Concealed Weapons Permit holder and also a member of Florida Open Carry.

So what does all this boil down to? Will votes given to me cause Crist to win? No, they will not! This is a five way race and of those five I am the only qualified candidate who will truly represent the Conservative Floridian, the average Floridian, You!

God Bless all of you and may He guide you in the choices you make!

Bernie DeCastro, U.S. Senate Candidate 2010
