Thrilled someone is going against Vern. I’ve voted for him many times but recently he’s been ineffective and detrimental at caring for our nation and it’s citizens. Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Thank you, and I share your sentiment.

It is a shame that some people give a hot take without taking the time to understand the context of the material presented here. Eddie Speir's party affiliation and competence should be fairly obvious to anybody willing to take the time to read/listen to what he has to say. The economics of securing the border is pretty straightforward. When you look at the price of gas, the rising prices of food and so many other goods, most reasonable working Americans should appreciate the idea of saving this much money in their own household budgets. Only fools, special interests, and wealthy elites would reject a plan like this. So far I'm impressed. I hope to see more videos on other policy positions during the coming months.

So, you "visit[ed] the border in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas and then further research[ed] this crisis" and have a plan.

Big whoop.

Serious people have been trying to manage this border for literally centuries, but thank goodness now Eddie Has A Plan.

Why should anyone take you seriously on this issue? How does your plan fit in with your intention to reduce federal bureaucracy?

Oh, and what is your alleged plan, in case somebody might want to read it?

It is in the video. It may sound crazy, but it is true we can save over $450 billion dollars by actually securing the border at a cost of $6 billion to finish the wall and $2 billion per year to take back operational control from the drug cartels of Mexico.

Cheap secret tech -- that Eddie has seen, and that Eddie says he's competent to evaluate -- will solve the problem, plus a few more people.

That's the plan!?!!

You really do want us to swap our cow for a handful of magic beans, don't you.

I have heard all this before -- about the War in Vietnam. High tech sensors! A surge of boots on the ground! Nixon's Secret Plan!

100% a con job.

And on that subject -- why does your campaign website toot loudly about your appointment as a New College Trustee, but leaves out that you ain't one any longer because even DeSantis's near-rubber-stamp Florida Senate wouldn't confirm you? You really do take the cake. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2023/05/11/florida-senate-rejects-new-college-trustee-choice

Funny, I have looked all over your information and I cannot find your party affiliation. I think probably it is because you're a Democrat.

Thanks for letting me know. I am a Republican and have been since I could vote. From Rush Limbaugh, through the Tea Party movement until today, meaningful constitutional conservatism only has one home. I hope to help put the republican back into the Republican Party here in Florida's 16th.
