TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General James Uthmeier led a coalition of Attorneys General from Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota in issuing a warning letter to climate activist group Ceres over concerns that its coordinated actions violate State and Federal antitrust and consumer protection laws.

“Ceres—a ringleader of the “climate cartel”—is open about its notorious goals to achieve net-zero carbon emissions,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “The assault on American families and businesses through what Ceres calls a “Global World War” to achieve net zero must stop. Failure to do so will result in a multi-state barrage of anti-trust enforcement.”

The letter outlines concerns that Ceres has acted as a central coordinator for efforts designed to pressure financial institutions and corporations to steer capital away from certain investments. Ceres coordinates these efforts to pressure corporations by engaging with their stakeholders and shareholders. In one instance, Ceres went as far as participating in a plan to replace the entire board of ExxonMobil to send a message to other corporations of what could happen to them if they do not cooperate.

MCREC’s Impact in Action: Legislative and Election Achievements

The MCREC’s dedication translates into tangible results, influencing policy and protecting our community’s interests. While each achievement offers a unique perspective for those seeking to understand our value, here are some key areas where the MCREC has made a significant difference:

• Baby Boxes Legislation:** We successfully advocated for legislation that provides a compassionate and realistic alternative to abortion, offering a safe haven for newborns and supporting maternal choice.
• Advancing Medical Freedom:** Our sustained efforts have strengthened patient rights, leading to ongoing progress in opposing mandatory vaccination and safeguarding individual autonomy in healthcare decisions.
• Protecting the Unborn:** We led local opposition to defeat proposed state constitutional changes that would have drastically increased abortion access and funding. Additionally, we actively supported legislation to decouple Florida from any potentially overreaching World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic requirements, prioritizing state sovereignty and individual liberties.
• Insurance and Tort Reform:** We’ve tirelessly advocated for crucial reforms aimed at reducing frivolous litigation, thereby working to stabilize and reopen Florida’s insurance market. While incremental changes have been made, this remains a critical work in progress.
• Preserving Our Heritage:** The MCREC has actively opposed legislation that threatened the preservation of our vital farmlands and the character of our cherished rural neighborhoods.
• Direct Legislative Influence:** Our members have provided impactful oral testimony to Senate and House Committees in Tallahassee on critical bills, frequently gaining support and influencing beneficial changes.
• Strategic Advocacy:** We maintain consistent engagement and meetings with State Senators and Representatives to advocate for issues specific to Marion County, ensuring our local concerns are addressed at the state level.
• Election Integrity Enhancements:** The MCREC championed legislation for improved county voter rolls and enhanced ballot box security, including more rigorous ID verification, to ensure fair and transparent elections.
• Leadership in Advocacy:** Our MCREC is widely recognized as a leader among county RECs for coordinating legislative advocacy letters, amplifying our collective voice across the state.
• Local Governance Impact:** We are deeply involved in local activities, engaging with the County Commission and School Board on crucial issues.
• Fair Impact Fees:** We successfully advocated for the fair reinstatement of transportation and school impact fees, a measure designed to alleviate taxpayer burdens and ensure responsible growth.

65 Florida faith leaders have already signed up to support Donalds’ campaign.

NAPLES, FL – Today, the Byron Donalds for Florida Governor campaign launched a Faith Leaders Coalition consisting of individuals who lead their community in prayer, volunteer at their church or faith community, serve as clergy, or lead a faith-based organization. 65 faith leaders have already signed up to be a part of the coalition, which will hold weekly prayer calls led by rotating faith leaders.

“God calls us to pray for our leaders. This is not about politics. It is about standing in the gap and covering Byron Donalds’ leadership in prayer as we seek God’s best for our state of Florida,” said Pastor J, Jearlyn Dennie, Founder of She Leads Florida. 

“We are called to pray for our leaders, and Congressman Byron Donalds is a fearless leader who shares our values and needs our prayers. In order for Florida to continue succeeding, common sense values of faith, family, and freedom must be reflected at the highest levels of state government in order to serve the public good,” said Anthony Verdugo, Founder of the Florida Christian Family Coalition. “Policy decisions impact the lives of everyday Floridians from vulnerable communities to houses of worship, and our state needs a proven leader like Congressman Donalds who listens and leads with the conviction of a man on a mission to strengthen our state. He respects the critical role faith institutions play in our state to help shape our culture and character, thus, this coalition exists to lift up Florida in prayer and support for a leader who shares and practices our values.”

The Faith Leaders for Byron Coalition follows the launch of the Veterans for Byron Coalition, co-chaired by elected officials who have served our country as part of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Navy JAG.

In polling and in fundraising, Byron Donalds is the clear front-runner in the race for Governor with endorsements from President Trump, Elon Musk, 75% of the Florida House Republican Caucus, top Florida sheriffs, 17 members of Florida’s congressional delegation, U.S. House Leadership, and leading Florida and national conservatives.

Artificial intelligence is still a relatively new technology. Still more and more people are using it to answer questions or look up information. Bob Paxton, a FAIRtax advocate in Ocala, is a former radio personality as well as a retired computer programmer. He is the founder of FAIRtax Power Radio, a weekly podcast and video stream, who decided to ask three separate AI application services to compare the current income/payroll tax system to the FAIRtax and then choose which system they would like to live under if they were a typical American taxpayer. Not surprisingly, all three chose the FAIRtax. Below are some excerpts that Bob received from those inquiries.

CoPilot:

“If I were an American taxpayer weighing the income tax system against the FAIRtax, I’d lean toward the FAIRtax – for some compelling reasons, though without caveats, if you’re someone who values economic freedom, simplicity and transparency, the FAIRtax is attractive. But if you prioritize stability, predictability and targeted redistribution, the income tax feels safer. Continue reading →
