Dear Guest,

Sharia Law in America Presentation by Jarvis Williams

Last Tuesday evening, our own Jarvis Williams delivered a very informative presentation on Sharia Law in America. Jarvis is engaged in educating Law Enforcement on Sharia Law. Since 2016 Jarvis has been following the trend of how Sharia Law has been intruding into many aspects of the American life. We have uploaded the presentation in its entirety to the Past Meetings Video page on our website which may be accessed by clicking on the image below.

Update On Manatee County School Libraries

Richard Tatem provided an extemporaneous update on the review of books found in Manatee County School libraries that contains content which is not age appropriate for all school age children. He indicated that a formal review is being conducted by Media specialists for a number of titles and that the process will take time.  Richard will be the featured speaker at our next Manatee Patriots meeting and we look forward to an update on this and other topics which impact our schools. So be sure to be at Mixon Farms next Tuesday at 6pm!

Jack May shared a number of letters he received regarding the book review.  We have provided one of these and Jack's response later on in this newsletter.    

Another Article from Frank De Varona

Jack May's Response To Emails Concerning Book Reviews 

During our last meeting, President Jack May shared with us an email he had received concerning the School Library book review.  We have provided the original email along with his response.

"Freedom of thought? Constitution loving? But you support, promote & take actions to ban books? Everyone associated with your organization should be ashamed of who they have become, of allowing yourselves to be led so far away from our nation's values and founding principals. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!

Sherry Woodruff"

"Ms. Woodruff,

I appreciate your comments and views, however, I don't believe you understand our goals, and what we are doing to achieve them.  FYI: We do not have the ability, nor would we attempt to ban a book.  We are taking the responsibility very seriously of making sure books that are not age appropriate, or contain depictions of reprehensible acts or lifestyles are not available to children in the public school system.  

You may not realize that most parents "opt out" of certain programs and materials after it is too late and the child has been exposed to content the parent does not want for their child.  I also realize the press, in covering this issue, is extremely biased to the point of publishing and showing misinformation and outright lies about what is happening in the Manatee County School District.  We have found many of the titles in question have not been vetted by the school's media specialists due to the overwhelming number of books in libraries and classrooms.   

Once again, I want to assure you, we are not banning books.  We are making sure that those titles, harmful to children, won't be accessible within our public schools.  I would encourage you to look at the titles and the content of the books in question.  I believe you would be horrified to think materials barely suitable for adults have been totally accessible by our children. 

Just out of curiosity, have you investigated for yourself any of the titles in question?  If not, I can get you a list.  I do want to thank you for taking the time to air your concerns.  I hope I may have dispelled some of them.

Best regards,

Jack May - President

Manatee Patriots"

America Is In Great Danger of an EMP Attack by Enemy Nations

Dear friend,

The Chinese spy balloon that was allowed by the Biden regime to travel over 4,000 miles over continental United States and Alaska could be a test run by our existential enemy China for a sneak attack on America using small nuclear explosions that set off an Electromagnetic Pulse Attack (EMP ) that would destroy the electrical grid and all electronics. The EMP would kill over 90% Americans in a few months.

“High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key ‘delivery platform’ for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials,” the Washington Examiner reported. “Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.” Additionally, ICBM, hypersonic missiles, satellites, and submarines could detonate an atomic bomb high over the sky in central United States and create an EMP. Solar flares from nature can also provoke an EMP.

Sadly, none of our presidents have protected America by strengthening the electrical grid of our nation. Write to our elected leaders in Congress and to the media demanding action.

Joe Biden and its woke and incompetent Pentagon committed dereliction of duty and gross negligence in their failure to protect the national security by not shooting the Spy balloon as it approach the U.S. Aleutian Islands and Alaska. The entire world saw what China was allowed to do by a very corrupt and China compromised president. Our friends do not trust America to defend them and our enemies were embolden. China has bought the entire Biden family and this represents an immense threat to the national security.

 Democratic and Republican in Congress are demanding that the Biden regime explain why the spy balloon was allowed violate our sovereignty and to enter U.S. airspace in the first place on January 28, 2023 and travel spying our military bases with complete impunity.

Democratic Senator Jon Tester of Montana, where the balloon was first reported by a civilian stated that he will hold a hearing of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee he heads to get answers about the spy balloon. Senator Tester said the following: “Montanans value their freedom and privacy and I’ll always fight to defend both. China’s actions are a clear threat to those values and to America’s national security, and I’m demanding answers from the Biden Administration. I will be pulling people before my committee to get real answers on how this happened, and how we can prevent it from ever happening again.”

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) tweeted “I’m calling for an investigation and demanding answers from the Biden Administration on why a Chinese spy balloon was allowed to hover over critical military infrastructure in Missouri and across the interior of the U.S. without any intervention.

Regards,

Frank de Varona

Reminder: Here's Why You Should Sign Up for the Connection Builders Program

I was going over the Manatee Patriots mission statement and core values this week.  Honestly, I’m looking for a reason anyone would want to take a chance on a CONCEPT.  It’s like, Jack wants me to make a time and effort investment... so what is the return?   Well, I think I’ve found it. 

Just remember, without your participation, Connection Concepts will stay a concept, and never see the reality of our Mission Statement or administration of our Core Values.  Values that are not necessarily those of another group or party... they are your values; you’ve said so!

Here's the Manatee Patriots Mission Statement:

We are a non-partisan organization made up of concerned citizens of Manatee County and surrounding areas and funded by the generous support of the community. The purpose of Manatee Patriots is to restore the use of our US Constitution to its original intent.

Our Core Values are:

·      Defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of Florida.

1. Maintain the Republic
2. Elect only those who express a desire to lead and govern, that, have integrity, and will stand against any foe, foreign or domestic, that would jeopardize our founding documents. 
3. Protect election integrity at every level of government.  We must have fair elections.
4. Support our 2^nd Amendment right to include “Constitutional Carry.” 
• Fiscal Responsibility
  1. Lobby for a balanced budget amendment in the US legislature
  2. Oppose raising the debt ceiling.
  3. Support cabinet level spending bills and oppose all omnibus legislation.
  4. Ensure local government spending is needful, controlled, and that will maintain our liberty.
• Limited Government
  1. Government should never be larger than necessary.
  2. Support zero (0) based budgeting.
  3. Ensure the Sherriff acts on the constitutional provisions of the office, maintaining our liberty.
• Free Markets
  1. Regulation is necessary but not to the extent as to infringe on the competitive nature of free markets and personal liberties.
  2. Use zoning to enhance business opportunities and not as a weapon that detracts or diminishes the marketplace.
  3. Business is in charge of job creation, and not the government.
  4. Streamline the building office and the permit process (Cities & County).  
  5. Free markets include School Choice. Schools are in competition, and parents should be able to choose and control the educational opportunities for their children.
• God and Country
  1. Protect and defend the liberty, conscience and life of every citizen, including in-vitro.
  2. Separate the government from the church, while never separating the character of the church from the government.
  3. Find, Vet, Finance, and Run candidates who fear God more than men, people of good character.

I appreciate you guys and respect the power you may wield!  

-Jack
