Both Are Violating Their Fiduciary Responsibilities To Constituents

Both Florida and California are illegally removing constitutionally elected representatives from county Republican Committees.

This is a breach of their fiduciary responsibility to the people who reside in their states. In the cases of Florida and California, this amounts to roughly 14 million US citizens who are being abused by the Power- hungry political class.

If someone had asked you to name a similarity between California and Florida, you’d probably have said something about beaches, beautiful coastal scenery, or the like. Almost none of us would have gone to politics, but, yes! It is true. Both states have Republican Parties that break the law. They are not the only states, of course, but for now, we’ll stick to those two.

With nearly playbook-like similarities in tactics, State Republican Parties in both Florida and California are removing duly elected representatives of the people, from county commissions, and replacing them with unelected party sycophants. This is being done, of course, so that the Party can have its way over the people, who may not want what the politicians do.

In Florida, politicians appear to be working with developers, making sure that the counties’ elected officials are not going to vote against things that the developers and the pols want, but the people may not.

In both Cali and Florida, they are even using the same gestapo take-over tactics! You know … show up at a meeting, reject the people’s agenda, insert a new one, ignore calls for “point of order”, then call in the police, whom they have had waiting outside, to take away people who have done absolutely NOTHING wrong.

My jaw dropped when an elected representative from Monterrey County described the exact same malfeasance as Floridians have experienced in the counties of Manatee, Duval, Lee, Osceola, St. .Johns, and elsewhere! (I have a special story to share about Citrus County, in the next article…)

The similarity does not stop with the treatment of duly elected county leaders. It extends to the national representation. Florida’s Peter Feaman will appreciate this.

I’ve spoken with several MAGA Republicans from California, and they have shared that the state party leadership of the CAGOP did everything they could to hand a primary victory to Ron DeSantis in 2024. This included refusal to cooperate with and fund Trump events. Although MAGA supporters had raised the funds for Trump, in some cases, even event seating for Trump supporters, requested and planned, was not provided. This was just one of many more examples, shared by a Trump-supporting CAGOP member.

Peter Feaman, Trump friend and delegate from the RPOF understands how friends of Trump can be made to feel very unwelcome by a gang of totalitarian RINOS. As a reminder, Mr. Feaman, who had been a voting national delegate for a dozen years, was on a planned vacation when the RPOF voted on and removed his real national committee powers.

What is behind this similarity of deviance between Red State/Blue State?

It occurs to me that development may be the tie that binds, that which is removing the constitutional rights of American citizens to choose their representation in government. Or, at least, development is the excuse of the moment, as we dig in in all 50 states, to save our representative government. It is certainly behindover $250 billion of bond debt which has been hung around the necks of home-owning Americans.

If you recall, California ‘s state legislature changed the zoning in the areas devastated by the January fires, just months prior to the start of the devastation. The areas of Pacific Palisades and others, were changed from single family to MULTI-FAMILY, which is far more profitable to developers and their enablers, than is single family housing.

In Florida, the counties with open land seem to be the targets, and the places where huge bond debt can be planted and grown.

There is big BIG money in development, as new housing, roads, bridges and the like, create the need for bonds, for which the citizens pay with their skyrocketing real estate taxes. The citizens in many of those counties do NOT want more development, and they elected those to represent them, who felt the same. Therefore, the state party removes them, in favor of those who will be more ‘cooperative’ with the develoopers’ “needs”.

However, here’s the rub. A BIG, legal one.

Public officians have a FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THEIR CONSTUTUENTS.

A fiduciary responsibility, for those of us who have heard it a thousand times but might strain to give it exact definition, is this. A fiduciary is defined as a person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another. Beneficiaries (citizens in the case of government) have delegated authority to fiduciaries (pols) to act on their behalf, yes, with discretionary powers and in superior position to the beneficiary due to superior knowledge and ability or specialized access.

Today’s public officials, in the cases of Florida and California, and many other places as well, stop there, it seems. They believe they are superior in power and (insiders’) knowledge. They forget the rest of their fiduciary responsibility.

Government officials have special ETHICAL oibligations to their constituents, a concept directly from the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

The concept of “ethics” is the trip factor here. As ethics, in the centuries-old moral sense, have visibly and horribly erroded in society in general, many, if not most, of our elected representatives have lost that component of their responsbilities to us.

Public officials need to be reminded that, under the laws of the United States, they have duties to us in four categories: care, loyalty, accountability and impartiality. The fifth and final is, to preserve the public’s trust in government, which might be the toughest of all.

We don’t need to dissect it all here, but it is obvious that our elected officials have failed us on nearly every count.

Duty of CARE: good stewards of the public’s money; follow the Constitution and laws of the jurisdiction.

Duty of LOYALTY: put the public’s interests before their own. This is breached when the official benefits at public expense. Breaches include but are not limited to “pay to play”; career assists; benefits to family/friends or close associates. The duty to the public MUST PREVAIL.

Duty of IMPARTIALITY: be fair to constituents of all political leanings or parties. THEY MUST AVOID TARGETING PARTICULAR CONSTITUENCIES (MAGA REPUBLICANS?) This is the Equal Protection Clause of the US Constitution.

Duty of ACCOUNTABILITY: includes transparency, open meetings, open records, and the like.

Almost reads like a fairy tale. Doesn’t it?

Whether or not these concepts are enshrined in a state constitution, they are meaningless unless followed by incumbents. Our elected representatives have been made responsible for the public’s trust in government, and the more they step on the law, the less the people trust their elected representatives.

So, whether your state is “Red” or “Blue” or somehwere inbetween, it is incumbent on us, the citizens, to hold our politicians – city, county, state and national – to their constitutional responsibilities. This is the ultimate winning tool for us.

If your politicians are violating their fiduciary responsibilities to YOU, be loud and very clear. They are breaking the law – not the little diddly ones like what symbol to use for your organization – but the BIG ONE, the basis of them all, our Constitution.

So…red state or blue, Florida or California, AmericaFirst Republicans are being treated illegally. Check your state as well. Regardless of its political “color”, there is dark black inside the hearts of a lot of the political class which you have elected to represent you.
