It’s bad enough Congressman Allen West (R-Plantation) must withstand a daily barrage from the lame stream media and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch). But now, several Republicans think West has been let down by some Republicans in Tallahassee. Recent redistricting maps have made subtle changes to Congressman West’s district. Yet even the slightest change could tip the district in the Democrats favor.

Could some GOPers be buying into the Democrat propaganda? Not the Republicans in Broward county. Colleen Stolberg, vice chair of the Broward GOP and a long-time West supporter, released the following “call to action”:

“Congressman Allen West is in danger under the proposed redistricting maps and the Democrats are cheering! Show your displeasure by calling and emailing the people listed below not once but every day until this proposed district map has been changed. After working so hard to get Congressman West elected, we cannot stand idly by and let the Democrats win in 2012. As this proposed district map stands it’s likely that Broward will not have any Republican Congressional representation in Congress.

We must Save Congressman West! Call, email and contact everyone listed below until Congressman West receives more favorable treatment in this redistricting process. Make your voice heard! FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS!

This is a matter of urgency! The redistricting map may be voted on in the first week of session. There is no time to delay. Make your calls, emails, tweets or letters every day!

Broward “Awake The State” Rally Is A Snoozefest

The fine grassroots folks behind “Awake The State” targeted November 1 as a day for statewide rallies proving that Floridians were mad as hell. Who is “Awake The State”? Their website claims:

“Awake The State is an organic, grassroots movement of everyday Floridians fighting to reject devastating budget cuts, stop the assault on middle class families, and invest in Floridians again. We’re rallying November 1st to mobilize Florida’s middle class: to fight Rick Scott’s extremist anti-middle class agenda, stop his puppets in the Legislature, and return middle class values and priorities to our government in 2012.”

Organic? More like AstroTurf. Awake the State was cooked up by a young Democrat operative for a Broward County commissioner. Their first rallies, dominated by Democrats and union types, were blatant attempts to demonize Florida Governor Rick Scott.

The Broward rally was moved to Plantation due to flooding at the original location. RED BROWARD was ready to report thousands of moms and kids marching in the streets, businessmen waving jazz hands and chanting about direct democracy. We even expected hippies using police cars as toilets.

So what did we find? About 20 of the usual Democrat types. Plenty of union representation including Maggie Zalamea of the Broward Teachers Union. Other political operatives were in attendance like Terry Scott of Deerfield Beach fame.

Most surprising was the “moderate”, “centrist” and “CPA-like” Patrick Murphy. Mr. Murphy is Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out Of Touch) choice to battle Congressman Allen West(R-Plantation). Perhaps Team Debbie is reading the polls showing the Democrats have lost the middle and they’re sending Murphy to build his leftist credentials.

Last week, Murphy sent out emails praising the “progressive” values of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Perhaps they would love his “capitalist” idea of selling tea party inspired mugs.

Mitch and the gang cannot be happy with the lack of attendance at this rally. Other rallies across the state were better attended. Could the Democrat bloom be off the Broward rose? Stay tuned…
