Dear Guest Guest,

A Great Beginning.

We were privileged to have Eddie Speir address us last Tuesday evening and were excited to learn that it was the inaugural presentation of his campaign for the FL-16 US Congressional seat.

We learned a lot of intriguing facts about Eddie. He is a self-made technology millionaire (at one time with a net worth of $100million) who "shed" a vast portion of his wealth in order to live a more simple and honest life. We learned that he is a devoted Christian who believes that God has prepared him for the challenge he is undertaking. He is also deeply patriotic and loves the Freedoms we enjoy. He was a Trustee of the New College of Florida appointed by Gov. DeSantis who boldly confronted the abject "wokeness" of that institution. Eddie is an authentic and highly talented individual who understands the dangers our nation is facing. We believe that he is a credible and capable candidate who will take on the special interest groups while faithfully representing the people of

 FL-16.

We have recorded Eddie's presentation in its entirely and have uploaded to the "Past Meetings Video" page on our website.  You may access that page by clicking here.
