John,


Over the past three years, we have been called to make choices and answer questions we did not expect.


Questions about how, in a world that seemed frightening and different, we were going to raise our kids, continue to put food on the table, and care for our communities?


And questions that feel further out now like, how does our government interact with its citizenry in a time of crisis?


How is our government — one of the people, by the people, for the people — meant to protect life, but not stifle liberty?

In crisis, do we foster freedom? Or do we force our citizens down?


Well, over the past three years I believe we have had the truth revealed about those two vastly different approaches. Not in an academic textbook or in a theoretical debate, but in the harsh reality of governing during COVID. You could not find two more starkly different examples than the free state of Florida and the woke tyranny of Gavin Newsom’s California.


It isn't hard to understand why the Governor of California wants to talk about Florida. It's part of the one topic he tries to focus on: Anything but California.


Let's take a look at the record of the “liberal elite” in California:
1.
They locked their kids out of public schools at the behest of the teachers’ unions.
2.
They forced small businesses to close with many never to re-open again.
3.
They hobbled law enforcement and allowed drugs and crime to destroy their cities.
Everything on that list is a tragedy, and it’s only made worse by the disregard and disrespect shown by leaders like Gavin Newsom. The idea of locking down your citizens and then darting off to the fanciest restaurant in the state to rub their noses in it.


It's wrong, it’s disgusting, and it's no surprise that every day driving around Florida I see more and more California license plates as a result.

In Florida, we didn't bludgeon our people with government mandates; we lifted people up — protecting their jobs, their businesses, and their kids’ education.

We didn't lock business owners out of their livelihoods and we didn't lock people out of their jobs.

In Florida we didn't turn a blind eye to crime and drugs, we put criminals behind bars, and we kept our streets safe.


Gavin Newsom doesn't want to talk about California, and I don't blame him. But the reality is, there are plenty of woke liberal billionaires on Gavin Newsom’s speed dial who do not want to see individual freedom succeed. They don't want to see it succeed in Florida or anywhere else.


Because if it succeeds, it shows everyone that the top down nanny-state tyranny of California is avoidable — Free people making their own decisions are better off than a locked down citizenry dictated to by elitists.


That's why I need your help. Gavin Newsom, funded by Hollywood liberals, Big Tech billionaires, and who knows who else is running ads in Florida. I need your help to fight back.On our side are free people who care to stay that way. On their side is everyone who thinks they know better.

Show them that we intend to stay free:
