Don Arias to Speak at September 8 Meeting
Lt. Col. Don Arias (USAF, Retired) will be the guest speaker at the September 8 meeting of the Roundtable. Don works in the Public Affairs division of the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Florida. His brother was murdered in the 9/11/01 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, and since then Don has taken a special interest in counter-terrorism. He is an outspoken critic of the Obama administration’s handling of terrorist detainees at Guantanamo.
Roundtable meetings are held at the St. Andrew Bay Yacht Club on Bunker’s Cove Road in Panama City. A buffet dinner begins at 6:00 p.m. and costs $15 per person, including tax and tip. To make your dinner reservations, please contact Roundtable Treasurer Melissa Thompson at 527-7384 or Melissa@efileamerica.com
A brief business meeting will begin at 6:45 p.m., and the program should begin around 7:00 p.m. We are fortunate that Colonel Arias was able to arrange his schedule to speak to our club. His presentation will be an apt memorial to the innocent victims of nihilist terrorism just eight years ago this week. Don’t miss this special program!
August 11 Free-For-All Discussion
The free-for-all discussion at the August 11 meeting of the Roundtable centered on two hot topics; the Florida U.S. Senate race and socialized health care. Roundtable members and guests revealed themselves to be informed and engaged on both subjects. Many thanks to Barry Borror for moderating the sometimes rowdy conversation!
9-12 March on Washington, DC
Several Bay Countians are joining thousands from across the country for the largest Tea Party yet - the Tax Payers March on Washington September 12, 2009. As with people from across the country, we are going by plane, bus, RV and car. A bus is leaving out of Tallahassee full of Bay Countians and other CD2 folks.
I met several in Jackson County who are going and I have heard that 25 buses are leaving Georgia, and over 200 buses are coming out of Pennsylvania. Florida will be well represented with an Amtrak train going up the East Coast with Tea Party folks. Check out the FOX cable channel for their report on the Tea Party Express going from Sacramento to DC across 16 states and 36 cities to culminate at the march on the 12th.
We will be taking the 1600 anti-socialist-healthcare petition signatures to CD2 Representative Allen Boyd and to Florida Senators Nelson and LeMeaux while there.

BCRR Executive Board Adopts Budget
The Roundtable executive board, in regular session on August 6, adopted a budget that established a $1,500 reserve fund. The budget also earmarked $400 for the Roundtable’s project to assist ROTC programs in four Bay County high schools this fall.
Roundtable Members Attend #RPOF Quarterly Meeting
Roundtable president Teresa Eaton and treasurer Melissa Thompson, along with Bay Co. Republican Party Chairman John Salak and Republican State Committeewoman Melissa Hagan, attended the quarterly meeting of the Republican Party of Florida on August 21 and 22. They attended meetings designed to help grassroots Republicans become more politically effective in their communities. Salak and Hagan are former presidents of the Roundtable.
Roundtable T-shirts Still Available
Thanks to BCRR Treasurer Melissa Thompson and BCRR Legislative Watchdog Glen Leirer, the Roundtable T-shirts are still available to members at the cost of $10 per shirt. The shirts feature a large version of the club’s great-looking logo on the back, and a smaller version on the front.
A Message from Your Roundtable President . . . Fellow Republicans, While driving home from the most recent meeting of the Roundtable’s executive board, I realized I don’t say this often enough, and you should know the truth. The officers of your Republican Roundtable are smart, dedicated, efficient and ardent-hearted. They deeply love the Republican Party and its founding conservative principles, and they are determined to do everything within their power and ability to right the course. When Republican Party leaders on state and national levels are steering the armada into a helter-skelter sea of socialism, the decision by the crew of a small Bay County boat - to steer home to the calm, clear waters of conservatism - is not a frivolous decision. As the sage counseled, “Never remain neutral, for the victor will consider you part of his spoils.” Friends, your Republican Roundtable officers will never be anyone’s spoils. May God continue to bless America with individuals who have the courage of their convictions.

I am writtng to request an invitation to speak to your organization. As a Republican candidate for the Florida United States Senate, my appeal is not just to conservatives, but to all Floridians and people who want the "slitting of their throats" by the people that they elect to stop.
I support term limits, therefore, Governor Crist and Marco Rubio will have an opportunity to serve as U. S. Senators, after I have served a maximum of two terms or 12 years.
Also, I am the only Florida U. S. Senate candidate supporting the FairTax legislation which will eliminate all income taxes and replace them with a national sales tax on new goods and services. The FairTax mandates that each household receive a rebate for the taxes that are paid for basic necessities, such as food, shelter and clothing. The IRS will be eliminated, and there will be an increase in the amount of taxes collected because visitors to the United States and illegal immigrants, who under the current system are not taxed, will be taxed.
The FairTax gives control of their finances back to the people and provides the incentive for American businesses, who have moved their operations overseas because of America's high corporate taxes, to return to this country. By doing so, the companies will give this country the jump start it needs to preclude an economic collapse.
The FairTax legislation is based upon the principle espoused by the United States Founding Fathers, which is that an income tax is unconstitutional and undermines innovation, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit.
I am the Florida U. S. Senate candidate who will turn this state around and provide the framework for other U. S. Senators to follow, such as Governor Crist and Marco Rubio, so that the people will enjoy some of the wealth of Florida and the United States, and not just a few powerful special interest groups. I am the only Florida U. S. Senate candidate who will not accept special interest money during my campaign because I want it to be clear who I will represent as U. S. Senator.
I favor setting aside a certain amount of time on the public airwaves for each political candidate to present his or her campaign platform to the people. I favor banning paid political advertising because it has corrupted the political system in this country to the point where the United States is facing economic collapse. The economic collapse can be prevented if the people vote against most of the incumbents and vote for candidates like Belinda Noah who will work for the best interests of all Floridians.
In addition, I am a health care expert who will provide the blueprint for an excellent health care system that will be the envy of the entire world. I trust that all of you will support my candidacy for the U. S. Senate and understand that I support term limits of a maximum of two terms for U. S. Senators. If two terms are good enough for the President of the United States, two terms are good enough for U. S. Senators.
As U. S. Senator, I will pave the way for Marco Rubio, Governor Crist and others to serve as U. S. Senators in the future, by using my example as a guideline for the appropriate way to serve their constituents successfully.
Thus, I trust that you will do everything possible to ensure that I will be elected to the U. S. Senate in 2010.
God Bless,
Dr. Belinda Noah, Candidate for the U. S. Senate, Attorney, and Chairman, Black Indian Tribe of Florida
