Call to Action: Demand change on the Library Advisory Board!

By John Labriola -

In what's expected to be a major showdown over LGBT propaganda, Citrus County Commissioners will meet this Tuesday to decide whether to reappoint or replace five members of the Library Advisory Board (LAB), the nine-member body that has been pushing "LGBT Pride Month" displays in our public libraries. The meeting will take place at 1 p.m. on April 26 in the Citrus County Courthouse, 110 N. Apopka Ave, Inverness, FL 34450.  

Commissioners will be sitting in their capacity as the governing board for the county's library system, joined by their two fellow board members from the Inverness and Crystal River city councils.

Although Library Director Eric Head recently announced a "cooling off period" on LGBT displays this year, the LAB will likely insist on bringing the displays back in 2023 if the current LAB members are reappointed, since most of them have a history of far-left liberal activism (as reported here last week). The five members whose current terms are expiring have spent a combined 28 years on the LAB, and all five are seeking to be appointed to another two-year term.

The public will have a chance to speak whenever a candidate is nominated by the board. You don't have to talk about the specific nominee on the floor but can discuss LAB nominations in general. After public comment, each nominee will be voted up or down. 

This is your opportunity to urge your local elected officials to replace current LAB members with citizens who will respect community values and parental rights and who won't push LGBT propaganda on the children!

Florida's new Parental Rights in Education Act, signed last month by our great Governor Ron DeSantis, bans schools from engaging in the kind of LGBT grooming represented by last June's elaborate displays in the library entranceways, which featured rainbow flags, LGBT slogans and books promoting homosexuality and transgenderism to children. Those displays sparked the sustained firestorm of controversy that led an unprecedented number of concerned citizens to apply for the LAB this year. 

The vast majority of Citrus County residents don't want their tax dollars subsidizing LGBT propaganda targeting children in the county's public libraries any more than in the schools. It's time to demand that our local elected officials take action to permanently cancel these displays, beginning with the appointment of new Library Advisory Board members who represent Citrus County values, not San Francisco values!

So be sure to show up this Tuesday to tell your local elected officials to let children be children and let parents do the parenting!

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

Image
By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
