Tampa Tea Party Paid Agitator Sharon Calvert

Where's my money?
“Several of your county commissioners want to be re-elected or seek other office (sic), some of them this year. Nothing has a bigger impact on them than ordinary citizens (not paid agitators) showing up at their meetings,” local tea bagger Sharon Calvert writes in an email. here
We didn't get paid?

Tampa Right Wing Attacks

Tampa tea party founder Sharon Calvert and conservative activist Sam Rashid have been relentless in their attacks on the Go Hillsborough transportation initiative, suggesting that rampant cronyism influenced the spending of $1.35 million in public funds. 
-----------
But when county sheriff’s investigators last year asked Calvert and Rashid for evidence of wrong-doing, the critics came up empty. “Investigators asked if they had facts to support their claims and allegations but they had none to provide,” investigators said in records released Monday. here

Did GOP Hillsborough County Commissioners Sabotage GO Hillsborough?

The odds of the county even producing a ballot measure for Hillsborough County seem to dwindle, in part because of the reluctance of commissioners such as Murman and Higginbotham to stand by the process. Commissioners, who always seemed intimidated by the Tea Party activists from the get-go on this effort, have certainly created enough doubt for the most ardent pro-transportation tax advocate to feel skeptical right now, to say the least.

The Sierra Club, Tea Party Love Fest

Kevin Thurman of Connect Tampa Bay, a transit advocacy group, said he hopes the Sierra Club executive committee members who voted on the statement consulted their membership before advocating for a gas tax for road maintenance.
"I find it very concerning and upsetting that the Sierra Club would require a tax for more money for roads before getting more money for transit," Thurman said he was also surprised to see the Sierra Club moving away from partnerships with transit groups and aligning itself with the tea party.

More Bullshit In Hillsborough County

The county paid a million dollars on focus groups, surveys and polls to tell them that more people would vote yes to a half cent sales tax hike than a full cent. 

And their research showed residents want to see more of that money spent building and repairing roads than improving public transportation.

See chart above. This is a lie.
we want rail.

Rail wasn't even on the survey form. They told us to write it in. Check out our post on April 29, 2015 of the last meeting. here, It was all a sham.

At that meeting in Temple Terrace we were told that light rail, opponent and local Tea Bagger Sharon Calvert attends every meeting, 
where were you?

Hillsborough County Commissioners don't waste our time
NO RAIL? NO NEW TAXES!

"Go Hillsborough" Is A Sham

Omar K Lightfoot Community Center 
in Temple Terrace

My survey form, Rail is not even an option.
When i asked why, they told me to write it in on the back.

As you can see here Transit routes and bike lanes 
 are our top priority.

Yet according to this, it is not.

Thank you to this very nice gentleman
(Brian of Hillsborough County)
For helping me out.

Tea Partier Sharon Calvert and Florida GOP Victor Crist were there.

We say, NO RAIL?,
NO NEW TAXES!

Hillsborough County Tea Party Leader Sharon Calvert

In an email sent to voters yesterday she asks them to fill out a form to send a stern message to officials in Hillsborough County. “Let your Hillsborough County elected officials know that it’s still “NO” on having an 8% sales tax in Hillsborough County,” Calvert wrote. here

We ask that you do the opposite, tell the Hillsborough County Commission that you want a  referendum on the 2016 ballot. Join the discussion at 6:30 p.m. November 19 at Holy Hog in Downtown Tampa to talk about how to move Hillsborough forward despite early opposition.
