A Position Paper by The Pan-Africanist Coalition
It is painfully obvious that the local Democratic Party leaders have no interest in the ethics or the generally accepted rules of and for elected officials and candidates. Orlando's City Clerk, Alana Brenner qualified a candidate without the benefit of due diligence. On her own, she decided to allow a candidate into the District 5 city commissioner race who surely does not qualify.
The rules to qualify are clear. City Clerk Alana Brenner choose to ignore those
rules. Her supervisors choose to ignore the citizens request for a fair election. The City Clerk Alana Brenner has in her own independence decided for the 20,000 voters of District 5. City Clerk Alana Brenner did this on her own. This gives her power beyond elected officials because she alone decides who can run in this District and who can't. This means that the residents of District 5 will not have fair representation but the representation that City Clerk Alana Brenner choose for them.
The way this has worked out, it looks like a twist on Gov. Rick Scott's voter purge. In this scenario voters get to vote but only for a candidate not of their choosing, but rather someone else's hand picked person who doesn't represent the residents of the community but represents the will of City Clerk Alana Brenner.
Maybe this is the reason why no one is speaking out. Bruce Antone, Randolph Bracy, Geraldine Thompson, Sam Ings, Tiffany Moore-Russell are all very busy pretending to be busy. Maybe City Clerk Alana Brenner gave them a political pass. That is kinda like a hall pass, as long as you are quiet you can pass on through.

What does Carlos Smith, who is Chairman of the Orange County Democratic Executive Committee, think about all of this? Whatever it is he is thinking, he is very quiet about it. He talks a good game on other subjects, but does absolutely nothing and says nothing about this issue. Looks like the entire democratic party is a joke as far as Central Florida is concern.
Active voting Democrats are concerned about the message that this lack of internal support is sending. How can they trust the leadership when the leaders sit quietly by and say nothing about the egregious violation of election protocols? When the time comes for democrats to vote for these leaders, maybe the voters will pretend be to busy.
