2022 Sydney Eastman Courage Award: Andrew Warren

Hello my fellow Ybor Stogie Readers,

My 2022 Sydney Eastman Award winner is Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren. It takes courage to stand up for the innocent against an onslaught of Reckless Republican bigotry

and hatred.

State Attorney Warren was suspended for signing a statement that he would not prosecute women who are seeking a safe Abortion and those medical providers. He also extended that to protect those who are seeking transgender medical treatment.

Governor DeSantis suspended Warren because he had the courage to stand against him and an immoral government that plans to force their Ultra-Conservative policies on all Floridians regardless of the overwhelming support to protect Abortion and Transgender Rights.

State Attorney Andrew Warren is presenting suing Governor DeSantis in Federal District Court for this unlawful act of removing an elected officer, and have the court reverse DeSantis unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the voters choice for State Attorney. This Court decision will also set precedent for any future attempts by DeSantis to remove elected officials who disagree with him.

2022 Sydney Eastman Courage Award: Rebekah Jones

I would like to start this New Year by awarding my Sydney Eastman Courage Award for 2022 to Rebekah Jones. Rebekah Jones has been an example of bravery and the desire to report the truth by taking on Ron DeSantis and his suppression of reporting the true numbers of people who were casualties here in Florida of Covid in her position as Florida Health Data Manager. She was fired for not hiding the true numbers of those who had died and were infected, and was even arrested at her home at gunpoint by agents of DeSantis.

In 2022, she ran for Congress in the 1st Congressional District in the Florida Panhandle against Trump apologists and alleged teenage sex offender Republican Matt Gaetz. She ran a valiant campaign in that normally dominant Republican District and forced Gaetz to address the allegations of possible involvement in the January 6th Insurrection attempt and his constant denial of President Biden's victory.

She was also arrested on charges of illegally accessing Florida emergency messaging system to encourage state employee's to tell the truth about Covid numbers here in Florida. She has recently settled that case.

Ms. Jones was the inspiration for this tribute to Syd.
