The Florida Politburo
Party chair Karen Thurman stopped me from speaking at the convention. At the reception on the first night she blocked me from the microphone and said, “I'm not going to let you do that because I want to focus our resources on one person.” .......hereOn the first day my $500 table happened to be in the best location at the convention –– at the terminating vista of the reception hall. When my delegates and I returned the next morning, we found that
FDP officials had put all of my campaign materials in storage and I had been assigned to a barren and distant room at the opposite end of the convention center.
