2018 Election: Scorecards & Voter Guides (more Biblically Honoring)
Florida, Seminole County, & More.
A list of over 30 links to groups that evaluate candidates, amendments, judges, etc.

See the many links below: to voter guides (groups that score each candidate and tell you why), voting scorecards (how your representatives actually voted), and more. This took many hours to find the links to websites that reveal the positions of the candidates on issues that 75% of Americans say they care about. 75% of Americans call themselves Christians. But the NY Times, CNN, ABC, NBS, CBS, MSNBC, etc. media will not give you these links. And they will also not give you the list of over 200 accomplishments, over the last 19 months. See www.SureBolt.com/2018.htm.

If you like good news, see Vice President Mike Pence’s speech listing of your representatives’ accomplishments in the first 18 months of this new congress and president (visit American Family Association’s and Family Research Council’s ValuesVoterSummit.org/archive). Even those who dislike Mike Pence should like most of these accomplishments. But the news media never highlights these accomplishments. Why?

Also see the speech from the advisor to Trump (for only 7 months): Dr. Gorka’s speech on draining the swamp (Especially the part where for 23 years the Republican AND Democrat presidents signed a waiver, every 6 months, to avoid doing what they had promised to do about Jerusalem and Israel). This is the best speech I have seen so far in this election cycle. I liked it so much that I cut out the most interesting part and put it at the beginning for you. See SureBolt.com/swamp

75% of Americans claim to be Christians, yet less than half vote. If they voted using their Biblical principles, there would not be any culture war in this country. But where can Americans find Biblically honoring information about the candidates, since over 75% of the media elites are against Christian principles. Perhaps this will help. You can download this webpage as a PDF version (SureBolt.com/2018N.pdf).

Who writes the news? Who writes the history? The majority always controls the news and the history books. Yet Jesus said the majority would wind up in hell (wide gate verses narrow gate, many verses few, Matt 7:13-14). So why do we expect the majority to tell us the truth? If you want to see quotes from the media admitting their anti-Christian biases and also get links to more reliable news sources on specific subjects, see this link, SureBolt.com/News.pdf. If you would like to encourage others to vote, see this flyer called “God said Vote!” at SureBolt.com/Vote.pdf

… George Barna and William Paul McKay published Vital Signs: Emerging Social Trends and the Future of American Christianity in 1984. They report from a 1983 study, which showed that 75 percent of television executives claimed to be politically “liberal.” Only 7 percent attended church regularly and 44 percent stated that they had no religious affiliation. 80 percent stated that homosexuality was not wrong. 51 percent did not think adultery was wrong. A whopping 97 percent approved of abortion. One can only wonder if those statistics are even worse 35 years later. … (this paragraph is just an excerpt from this link, SureBolt.com/News.pdf)

My favorite issue is not politics, but using science to prove the Bible is from God (the Bible has a Miraculous Source). If you would like to see the proof and many famous scientists who defended the Bible, go to MiraculousBible.org or ApologeticsPress.org. I am an electrical engineer at Kennedy Space Center. My day job (for over 25 years) is to help NASA analyze and gather test data.

CCAGW Honors “Taxpayer Super Heroes” In Florida

Mar 21, 2018

For Immediate Release Contact: Curtis Kalin 202-467-5318 March 21, 2018

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) applauded Reps. Ron DeSantis, Francis Rooney, and Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) for their relentless and unwavering support of the fiscal interests of American taxpayers while serving in Congress. Reps. DeSantis, Rooney, and Yoho are three of the 12 lawmakers to earn a perfect score of 100 percent in CCAGW’s 2017 Congressional Ratings, making them a “Taxpayer Super Heroes.” Rep. DeSantis has a 97 percent lifetime rating since his election in 2012, Rep. Rooney earned 100 percent in his first year in Congress, and Rep. Yoho has a 93 percent lifetime rating since his election in 2012.

The report, which CCAGW has issued since 1989, highlights the voting records of all 535 members of Congress. It identifies members whose impeccable voting records helped protect and save the taxpayers’ money, earning them the honored title of “Taxpayer Super Hero,” and cites those who consistently voted against the fiscal interest of taxpayers.

CCAGW rates members of both chambers on a 0-100 percent scale. Members are placed in the following categories: 0-19 percent Hostile; 20-39 percent Unfriendly; 40-59 percent Lukewarm; 60-79 percent Friendly; 80-99 percent Taxpayer Hero; and 100 percent Taxpayer Super Hero. The 2017 Congressional Ratings scored 93 votes in the House of Representatives and 27 votes in the Senate.

“We applaud and wholeheartedly thank Reps. DeSantis, Rooney, and Yoho for their tireless work on behalf of the taxpayers while serving in Congress,” said CCAGW President Tom Schatz. “Their courageous votes to cut wasteful spending and make government more accountable should serve as an example to other members, challenging them to make good on promises to protect the fiscal interests of American taxpayers.”

“We have no doubt that Reps. DeSantis, Rooney, and Yoho will continue to help lead the effort to eliminate government waste and bring fiscal sanity to Washington,” added Schatz. “Their constituents should be very proud of them.”

The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste, the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.

Governor Rick Scott (see the link on this page https://ivoterguide.com/Comparison.aspx?RaceK=4297&ElecK=646&PrimaryPartyK=- ): Florida Governor Rick Scott signed legislation on Friday barring late-term abortions in cases where doctors determine an unborn child could survive outside the womb. Existing Florida law forbids abortion after 24 weeks’ gestation, unless a woman’s life or health is jeopardized by continued pregnancy. … Once fetal viability is attained, no abortion would be allowed under the new law unless two doctors certify in writing that termination is necessary to save the patient’s life or to “avert a serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function ... other than a psychological condition.”

Commissioner of Agriculture

I am voting for Matt Caldwell (link to his website) because he is endorsed by a group I trust more than I can personally research. Nikki Fried (her website) is the usual big government anti-biblical candidate. https://ivoterguide.com/Comparison.aspx?RaceK=6904&ElecK=646&PrimaryPartyK=-

Finally a candidate that actually answers the tough questions. See his answers:

Matt Caldwell for Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture. Water is our most important resource. It ensures the success of our state and it keeps us alive! As we grow from 20 million to 30 million residents, it’s more important than ever before to balance the demands of growing cities with the needs of our farmers and our environment. The Commissioner of Agriculture must be a responsible steward of our valuable natural resources. I promise to protect, preserve, and sustain our natural resources — because without them, there is no state of Florida! During my time in the Florida House, water policy was an area where I championed legislation and led the State in pursuing long-term solutions. In 2016, I carried the statewide Water Bill, which … http://votecaldwell.org/issues/ Today, John Stemberger, President & General Counsel of Florida Family Action, Florida’s leading pro-life, pro-family organization announced the endorsement of State Representative Matt Caldwell for Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture. http://votecaldwell.org/ “Our freedoms are under attack by Washington bureaucrats. It’s time to stand up and fight to make sure liberty is preserved for the next generation. I’m running because Floridians need to have their 2nd Amendment rights, natural resources, and property protected. … http://votecaldwell.org/facebook-admits-it-blocked-florida-republicans-pro-gun-ad-reverses-course/ Facebook admitted it mistakenly blocked a Florida Republican’s pro-gun ad from the social media platform and reversed course. … http://votecaldwell.org/matt-caldwell-honored-for-fighting-for-term-limits/ was honored on Friday for his defense of term limits. … http://votecaldwell.org/issues/ We are lucky enough to live in a place where people have the liberty to fully enjoy the rights given to them by God. Every single person has certain inalienable rights that come from God. This is a principle to which our Founders subscribed and it is just as true today as it was in 1776. Whether expressed as the right to life or the right to self-defense, the right to speak freely or the right to worship as one pleases, these principles are as true today as they were over 200 years ago. A human being has the God-given right to life as protected by our Constitution. The US Supreme Court got it wrong with Roe v. Wade, and I won’t wavier from that position.

State Rep., Dist 28

Finally, another candidate that answered these questions. For more questions see this link.

The following are pages from the primary in August. It still has some information on at least one of the candidates per race.

18^th Judicial Circuit, Group 24, Judge See https://flfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018-Judicial-Guide-FINAL-Interactive.pdf

Adam Pollack 18^th Judicial Circuit, Group 24, Judge http://www.pollackforjudge.com/ His questionnaire, see https://www.floridabar.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/2018-Circuit-18-24-Pollack.pdf
Has a list of groups he is associated with, with zero mention of being a member of some “church” or any mention of God or moral issues. … His site says … I have prayed with clients and their families for justice to prevail. … board certified criminal trial attorney … My ability to passionately follow the law and respect the fact that the legislature, and not a judge, makes the laws are exactly what is required of a skilled judge serving this community. … husband to his wife Jacqueline of 18.5 years and to their two boys ages 15 and 10. Adam is a former public defender, court advisor and is a current business owner operating his solo law practice since May of 2000. … Former Senior Advisor to Judges of the 18th Judicial Circuit in Seminole County – 1999 – 2000

Judge Melissa Souto, 18^th Judicial Circuit, Group 24, Judge https://www.judgemelissasouto.com/
No mention of God on her website. We cannot tell if she is religious since she does not give a list of groups she is part of. appointed by the Governor Scott in 2015 … endorsed by Don Eslinger (Seminole County Sh‍‍‍eriff - Retired), Sheriff Dennis Lemma, Sheriff Wayne Ivey, Joseph Shaughnessy (Managing Pa‍‍‍‍‍‍rtner Morgan & Morgan P.A.) … Judge Souto comes from a law enforcement background with her prior service as a prosecutor and then as legal counsel for the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office where she handled many difficult and complex legal issues. … Melissa’s parents left Cuba to escape communism in the 1960’s, and settled in Florida in the 1970’s. Questionnaire at https://www.floridabar.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/2018-Circuit-18-24-Souto.pdf

My personal opinion is in favor of Ms. Souto, due to:

1. her being appointed by a Republican governor (who I assume vetted her far better than the information on these websites) and

2. her background as a prosecutor and not a criminal defender like Adam.

3. But Adam has an advantage in that he has intact family, whereas Ms. Souto only says she has a 10 year old son; so it looks like she does not have an intact family.

County Court Judge, Group 2 See https://flfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/2018-Judicial-Guide-FINAL-Interactive.pdf

Zero information on their Biblical values. I lean toward Debra Krause, just because her website, and the other two seem to rely on attacking their opponents with lists of parameters that do not give us any indication of their morals.

http://judgedebrakrause.com/ Debra Krause believes Judges should follow the law, not make it. Judges should show a measure of humility and refrain from personal whims in decisions.

School Board Member Dist 4

I lean toward Amy Pennock due to her mentioning church and she has over 30 community groups she has been involved with, her education, her children, and business experience.

Amy Pennock, She holds two Master’s Degrees, one in business administration and another in, forensic accounting, … a mom and a community leader, has a long career of working with community organizations and businesses to improve their finances. … As the owner of Pennock Consulting Group, Amy works for companies across the country, including the non-profit Shepherd’s Hope, providing outsourced Chief Financial Officer services. https://www.amyforschoolboard.com/meet-amy/ … She is a current member of the Seminole County Public Schools Leadership Training Program.

County Commissioner Dist 2
I have no idea on this race. I probably lean toward Don Menzel for his strong words against corruption. I cannot find a shred of evidence that either one professes any Biblical foundation.

Don Menzel. No mention of God. He is a Republican candidate for Seminole County Commission, District 2 in the August 2018 election. Don, his wife Courtney and their children moved to Florida in 2011. They opened their accounting business, Precision Tax & Accounting in Longwood and reside in Winter Springs. I have signed the “No New Taxes” pledge…My opponent refuses. … There is a serious absence of responsible spending and credible oversight by our current commission. When cronies of the current commission can walk away with hundreds of thousands of dollars for a developer; we have a problem. When the current commission frivolously sues our elected Comptroller to take away his responsibility for the checks and balances sorely needed in any government and using tax dollars to do so. We have a big problem. … “What are our elected officials doing with their time on our dime? Spending our money wisely?” http://donmenzelforseminole.com/

I am voting for Ken Greenberg. He at least has some association with “religion” at the International Center for Religion & Diplomacy. Whereas his opponent, Ted Johnson, does not have any religious info on his bio. Ted Johnson’s wife knocked on our door and refused over and over (3 times) to answer any positions of her husband on any social moral issues.

Ken Greenberg. http://votekengreenberg.com/ Ken got involved in his new Hometown and has been deeply involved since. He served on 4 City Advisory committees and on each committee, served in a leadership capacity of Chairman or Vice Chairman. Ken’s most recent position was as the Chairman of the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District (TLBD). … Ken is a highly skilled businessman, with a long history of entrepreneurial and profitable ventures. Currently, Ken serves as the CEO of US Hospitality Group, a well-established hotel development firm. He is also the President of a diversified Licensed Real Estate Commercial Brokerage. Additionally, Ken has a strong professional career in Banking where he last served as a Vice President of IndyMac Bank, which was one of the largest and most aggressive lending institutions in the Country. Ken has always strived to give back to his community and to that end, he served on the Board of Directors of The International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD), based in Washington, DC. He was a founding Board Member of the Florida Business Brokers Association and has served on a variety of Boards. Ken is also a recipient of a “Key to the County”, awarded to him by the Mayor of Miami-Dade County for his contributions in mentoring and growing jobs within the minority communities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Center_for_Religion_%26_Diplomacy The International Center for Religion & Diplomacy is a non-profit organization located in Washington, DC.[1] Its mission statement reads: "The mission of ICRD is to address identity-based conflicts that exceed the reach of traditional diplomacy by incorporating religion as part of the solution." The intellectual and spiritual basis for ICRD's unconventional approach to conflict resolution can be found in Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft, Faith-based Diplomacy: Trumping Realpolitik (Oxford University Press, 1994 and 2003), and Religion, Terror, and Error: U.S. Foreign Policy and the Challenge of Spiritual Engagement. These books explore the positive role that religious or spiritual factors can play in preventing or resolving conflict, while advancing social change based on justice and reconciliation. They also make a strong case for incorporating religious considerations into the practice of international politics.

Ted Johnson. Ted and his family moved to the Central Florida area 32 years ago to begin a career in public education. Ted has worked in the capacity of teacher and administrator at several Seminole County schools … active Board Member of the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association. He has served as the President of the THOA for the past 7 years. … Ted is the publisher of the Tuscawilla Today Magazine … Now retired from the Seminole County Public School system …

Full Bio:

New Leadership and Vision for "Our Community"

PUTTING OUR RESIDENTS FIRST

Originally from Ohio, Ted Johnson and his family moved to the Central Florida area 32 years ago to begin a career in public education. Ted has worked in the capacity of teacher and administrator at several Seminole County school sites including Indian Trails Middle School here in Winter Springs. Recently retired from Teague Middle School, he is now dedicating his time to continue serving the public. With the encouragement and support of the late Commissioner Pam Carroll, Ted has been an active Board Member of the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association. He has served as the President of the THOA for the past 7 years. As a result of his dedication to the community, this role has afforded Ted the opportunity to become familiar with the planning and decision making processes inherent to our city.

In tandem with a dedication toward community service, Ted continues to be in regular attendance at City Commission meetings. By attending these meetings, Ted is up-to-date on current issues facing our city and provides public input on matters that impact our residents.
