Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida

In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

NELL TOENSMANN, St. Johns County Democratic Chair: "Do-Nothing" Tortfeasor Profile

FLORA NELL SEYMOUR TOENSMANN a/k/a "NELL TOENSMANN"

Born: January 5, 1943, St. Augustine, Florida, daughter of CHARLES SEYMOUR, controversial non-activist pastor of long-segregated Trinity Episcopal Church (1949-1964), whose rulers often had African-Americans arrested for attempting to pray there.
Quote: "John, [w]ould you like to deal with this one? We (sic) do not want Ed Slavin to make a presentation and - thank goodness - we have all of our speakers. When you have an hour or two, I can give you a history of Ed and the Democrats. Ed has tried for years to have all of the properties that are currently run by the city, county, state and national (sic to come under one single umbrella organization. It has been rejected (sic) by city and county commissions and he continually brings it up to anyone who will listen, including the legislative delegation last month. I would also prefer that he not have a venue - or even a table - for this. And I would wonder if he would have $10 to pay for an information venue, plus tent, table and literature. Ed is like a bull in a china shop, constantly pushing for whatever he wants, usually butting heads with anyone and everyone. [Witness A] also has stories about Ed as well."

Pray for pitiful FLORA NELL SEYMOUR TOENSMANN a/k/a "NELL TOENSMANN."
Forgive NELL TOENSMANN a/k/a "NERVOUS NELLY."

Be not afraid of Neanderthal NELL's efforts to chill, coerce, intimidate and retaliate against protected activity.
It's Our Town and Our Time.
ALL Real Democrats wear NERVOUS NELLY's "scorn as badge of honor."
Tell gauche, louche SJC DEC Chair FLORA NELL SEYMOUR TONESMANN what you think of her hatred of the St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore, first proposed by Mayor Walter Fraser in 1939 (joined by Senator Claude Pepper, et al.).

Ask her what she knows and what motivates her support for tree-killing developers and ex-Mayor BOLES.
