"Make America Florida": PAC seizes on GOP's love of the Sunshine State

Among the slew of signs seen at the Sarasota rally on Saturday headlined by former President Trump was the following, which caught our eye: "Make America Florida."

State of play: Turns out, that's the name of a new political action committee, per Florida Politics. The PAC was registered with the Federal Elections Commission on April 2.

We couldn't find much about Melissa Peters, the woman listed in FEC documents as the PAC's treasurer, but the P.O. Box she used to register the committee is the same one used in the past by Evan Power, an FSU alum and chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.

"Florida has become a model for the nation for conservative politics," Power told Axios.

Ah no thanks. The only thing Washington has in common with Florida is neither state has an income tax. In spite of being in an earthquake zone our buildings generally don't fall down.

He has written many books about the political corruption and strange goings on in Florida.
And then there is the whole ocean level rise thing that will reclaim quite a bit of Florida over the next several decades.

I guess that PAC wants the nation to drown in corruption, or just plain drown.

I'd gladly contribute to that PAC.

People you thought were born in the USA but they're really Canadian:
