Our tatterdemalion Reichwing Republican lobbyist-State Senator, JOHN THRASHER, owns five homes, the smallest of which I reckon is here in St. Augustine, a smallish condo, much smaller than his nearly 6000 square foot house with private dock and pool.
JOHN THRASHER founded a lobbying company called "Southern Strategy," named after President RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON's appeal to segregationist voters.
JOHN THRASHER started his political career as a Clay County School Board member, where homophobia was used as an instrument of social control to euchre voters. See “Farenheight 4.51: Clay County’s Culture Wars,” Out in the City (January 2009)(cover story)(history of anti-Gay discrimination by school system, which long barred any discussion of Gays except in the "context of sexually-transmitted diseases").
Under Paraprosdokians (below), number 27, it states, "A diplomat is someone who tells you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip." I trained as a diplomat at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. Let me tell JOHN THRASHER that, if he runs for re-election, he will likely be defeated in 2012, hopefully by former broadcast news journalist Debra Gianoulis. We are all looking forward to the this trip of a State Senator being retired to his five houses.
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!
