Local Action = National Impact!!!
I am about to put my words into another set of actions. Keep an eye on this and all my social media sites. Time is our enemy and now is the time to step up even more.

Keep an eye on Sarasota County, Florida. The GOP across the country, never mind just Sarasota, County, requires reform. We are our own worst enemies. People like Jack Brill are why the GOP, as an organization, have lost the trust and confidence of those they are suppose to represent. Jack, you need to step down.

As Sarasota Watchdogs, we call out wrongdoing whether it be from the left or right side of the aisle. Naturally, with the local Democratic party going WOKE, we tend to support Republican candidates. However, when our local REC Acting Chair, Jack Brill, takes a stance against the ZEM movement promoted by concerned parents, it’s time to sound the alarm!
ZEM simply represents the first letters of the last names of Sarasota’s Republican endorsed school board candidates, Ziegler, Enos, and Marinelli. ZEM grew out of necessity after the realization that our local Republican leaders were not actively supporting our conservative candidates. Our March 8th election was an embarrassment and conservatives lost miserably. Concerned parents of Sarasota were not about to leave the task of flipping our liberal school board up to our Republican leaders.
Concerned parents have taken a stand and have come out in droves to fight to make sure that our out-of-control liberal school board gets voted out on August 23rd. When our school board voted to invoke a mask mandate against Governor DeSantis’ orders, they made it clear that they had no interest in parental opinion. This fact was further confirmed when public speaking time was reduced from 3 minutes down to two.
Additionally, a mother was asked to be removed with police force for what she was about to say. Also, two conservative mothers who signed up to speak, where denied the opportunity. A certain mother was publicly doxed by a school board member, and then called a wingnut.
The ZEM movement is truly a grass roots fight against the democratic money machine. ZEM parents visit schools twice per day to hand out information about the upcoming elections. In addition, there are on average 4 ZEM sign waves per week throughout the county, and constant outreach efforts at churches.
The last thing ZEM parents could have imagined, was fighting against REC leadership, more specifically, Jack Brill. Most conservative citizens believe that our Republican Party is supporting ZEM, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Friday a hit piece was published in regard to ZEM, with the following note:
The Republican Party of Sarasota County sent the Herald-Tribune an unsolicited prepared statement distancing the party from the activities of ABCD.
Unbelievable! ABCD is the PAC used to fund ZEM election efforts. The Republican Party of Sarasota offered unsolicited comments to our local leftist news publication.
Sarasota Watchdogs work with multiple freedom groups throughout Florida to support Patriots and conservative values. With that said, we were astonished at this following quote from Mr. Brill:
“The party has a membership committee that vetts potential candidates. After the committee approves, then the board votes. The final step is for a full membership approval. That is pretty standard in many of the county parties. Please note that a Defend Florida person that is part of an organization whose mission is to take out the county party will definitely not pass the vetting process.”
There are two issues that are concerning about Mr. Brill’s statement. First, nowhere in the Republican Party bylaw does it refer to a “vetting committee” process.
