Update as of February 2022 Please Donate to Manatee Patriots’ GiveSendGo
In December 2021 Manatee County resident Ken Piper filed an Elections Commission complaint for something that was adjudicated eight years ago. He named Manatee Patriots and Steve Vernon, former president of Manatee Patriots (previously Tea Party Manatee).
A lawyer has been secured to respond to the administrative complaint. As soon as we get any new information, we will update this site and fill everyone in at the weekly Manatee Patriots meeting. Thank you for your support!
Ken wants to silence the Manatee Patriots, so the 56-page complaint also attacks Manatee Patriots’ leaders Jack May, Janet and Dean Mixon. Piper is requesting the state levy heavy fines and possibly even pursue criminal charges for supposed violations.
Ken is using the courts to silence anyone who disagrees with him. This is a tactic that if not stopped will be used over and over again until freedom of speech is just an idea in the history books.
Jack and the Mixons have worked for many years to make Manatee County a better place, to help elect good political candidates and to hold them accountable once in office. Now they need our help. The complexity of the code requires we retain legal counsel in order to protect ourselves and the integrity of Manatee Patriots. Please consider giving towards our legal fund. Click here to do so now. | | | |

Thank Greene, Jordan and Gaetz for Their Help for Jan 6ers 
Let’s encourage those elected officials who’ve been working to free the American citizens that are still in jail for being at the the January 6, 2021 rally. They have had press conferences, continue to speak out and visited the Jan 6ers in the Washington, DC jail.
Call and let them know you are grateful that they are bringing attention to the injustice, and encourage them to continue until these unconstitutionally held prisoners are freed. (Address provided if you prefer to write a note to them.)

From America’s Frontline Doctors Watch Doc Tracy: Expose The Lies
Our country is being taken over by tyrants in Big Government, Big Media, and Big Pharma. Journalists have long since ceased doing their job. We must expose the liars by confronting them on the street. We must free ourselves from their corruption and deceit. It is our duty as Americans to reveal their propaganda in real time, so AFLDS brings to you Doc Tracy: Physician Investigator.
Our very own Doc Tracy will be on the ground investigating decision-makers who have been forcing unconstitutional and fraudulent mandates on the American people. By confronting the liars on camera we will expose their destructive propaganda.
If you haven’t yet seen the video trailer, you can see it here. To be notified one day in advance of the full episode’s general release, click here.
To win back our FREEDOM we need you fighting with us in school, at work, at home, and in your daily activities. Nothing is more important.
To fight with us, please share this news, make generous donations to AFLDS, and join the AFLDS Citizen Corps to meet like-minded patriots in your neighborhood!
