Pastor Rick Tyler of Pensacola, Fla., has been an AFP and Spotlight distributor nearly 30 years. He has hosted many conferences and his own radio show, written many articles and has always stood on Biblical principles as he continually lashed out at the corrupt, criminal and godless government. Now he has thrown his hat into the heated battle for the Florida Senate seat and on April 29 paid his fees to officially put his name on the November ballot.
This race is already the most closely watched U.S. Senate race in the country, and the dedicated Christian conservative voter has no other choice but Tyler. With Gov. Charlie Crist having now declared an independent candidacy, it creates a three-way even split between the major candidates.
Coming from behind late last year, former State House Speaker Marco Rubio (R) had so crushed the sitting governor in recent polls that Crist decided to continue the battle as an independent without waiting for his imminent defeat in the Republican primary on Aug. 31.
This situation creates a fertile climate for a truly independent, insurgent candidate such as Tyler to make waves and influence the outcome of the general election, even possibly garnering 25.1 percent of the vote to win the election. He believes that there are enough conservative Floridians, angry at the socialist drift of the nation, to rise up en masse for the only candidate, including the minor party candidates, who will address the most important issues in a proper manner: America’s Israel-first policy, anti-white immigration policy and criminal control of our nation by the global elite.
The most recent poll by Quinnipiac University had Rubio leading Crist by 23 points in the primary, but it suggested Crist could win a three-way race with him and U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic candidate, a black man. However, the state Republican Party has already warned county and state party executive committee members that they will be removed from their positions if they support an independent Crist campaign in any way. Members who have already said they will back Crist must rescind their support and ask to have their contributions refunded, although Crist does not have to give the money back.
The rift between the GOP and Crist seemed inconceivable less than 18 months ago, when he was a rising star in the party. He had a huge lead over Rubio in the polls when they entered the race for the seat of recently resigned Cuban-born Sen. Mel Martinez.
Being born and raised in Miami, Tyler witnessed firsthand one of the better-known instances in American history when an alien people flooded in and took over a major American city. He feels that this experience qualifies him to address issues related to the problems of both legal and illegal immigration.
AFP readers will remember the recent Tyler-sponsored Pensacola convention events exposing 9-11 truth as well as the Three Pillars of Tyranny Convention dealing with the corruption and illegality of the income tax, the Federal Reserve and the 17th Amendment. He has long been involved with the patriot issues and the exposing of the truth of various government crimes.
Twenty-five years before the current tea party protests became popular, he led the charge at a 1985 tea party event in Fort Myers, Fla., where the patriots dumped IRS “1040” forms in the Caloosahatchee River.
He made his April 15 announcement, significantly, in front of the federal courthouse in Pensacola because “the federal courthouse is representative of a tyrannical force of obfuscation in this nation.” With Tyler’s name on the ballot, Florida voters will have a clear-cut choice to move away from the lookalikes in both major parties. His entrance in the race could change the picture dramatically before election time in November. More information can be found at tylerforsenate.com. ◊

It’s been said that it’s the things that you can’t talk about that are usually the most important.
Well, Rick Tyler has a whole lot of things to talk about, and the media says “you CANNOT talk about these things” by blacking him out.
Therefore, I’d say Rick Tyler is the most important candidate for U.S. Senate.
