I am sick and tired of ASSHOLES like St Pete Times BLOGGER/"reporter" John Frank trashing John Russell! John speaks the TRUTH and he does so very well and these pieces of garbage that do the dirty business of the ESTABLISHMENT want to keep John down because if the larger public ever discovered this man he would be launched right to the top and the powers that be would pay the price.
:think:So finally, here is the TRUTH BEHIND DISNEY with video documentation which John explains to the viewer second by second as it occurs.
:freak: Watch as the "dirty dawgs" like Pasco County Chairwoman Allison Morano coordinates the attack on John.
Watch as ex- half ass pro wrestler 6'6" 280 pound Mitch Kates attempts to swipe the camera away from John's good friend Mark Adams.
:freak: These party hacks are MORONS fully explaining WHY the Florida Democratic Party is so blatantly ineffective and HOPELESS!
:think: As you can see John has no problem with posting this story on his website because he did nothing out of line to merit this attack except attend an event that he was an INVITED DELEGATE TO. AMAZING!
http://www.johnrussellforcongress.com/page.asp?PageId=79The Disney Controversy: "Banned From Disney For Life!"
Fact Vs. Fiction
Given that people who arranged for the whole "Disney Attack On John Russell" at the 2007 Florida Democratic Convention and who now use their version of events to continue to attack my character, I proudly offer those who seek it, the TRUTH about the event and the people who arranged it.
Fair people can then judge for themselves whether the accusations made about myself and my character regarding the Disney affair are legitimate... or NOT? By the way, Trespass Warnings by law are only enforceable for one yea, after that they expire. Banned for life? I don't think so...
Description of Events As My Party Entered The Convention
Upon entering the convention, I was not at all concerned about any issues regarding the legitimacy of my being there. After all, I was an invited delegate to the 2007 Florida Democratic Party Convention and not only that, had less than one year ago represented the Democratic Party as its nominee in Florida's 5th Congressional District race to unseat incumbent congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite. I was not completely naive however, knowing full well that party insiders did not appreciate my willingness to question the motives/actions of Democratic Party leaders as quickly as I would any Republican.
:think:One of the reasons that I may not have been welcome on this weekend was the fact that on Sunday, the very next day, there was a formal effort planned to attempt to oust the Chair of the Florida Democratic Party. Based on the events that subsequently occurred in that meeting, the usual characters involved in defending the indefensible actions of the Chair, knew that were I to be present, I would not allow the juvenile antics that were employed by Steve Geller et al to go unchallenged. Now, please read the following, then click on the link to view what follows.
:think:In this UNCUT version the viewers will note at 3:31 on the clock, Ms. Alison Morano in a light pink skirt carrying her jacket accompanies, then trails slightly behind Democratic Party "thug" Mitch Kates as he returns to eject this writer from the 2007 Florida Democratic Convention.
:think:I witnessed Mr. Kates make a cell phone call as he retreated to a room off the main concourse following his initial physical attack on myself as well as videographer Mark Adams. This is visible just prior to 3:23 on the timeline.
:think:Mr. Luis Cuevas as well as Sheldon Packer of PDA both personally advised me that they watched as the events unfolded less than 5 minutes after myself, Mark Adams as well as my wife entered the building.
:think:Mr. Packer having personally escorted me and interceded on my behalf at his insistence with a table owner adjacent to Clint Curtiss on which he hoped to locate some John Edwards signs which I had brought with me to promote my candidate, was next to me as the attack described in greater detail below took place.
The above all occurring just prior to my being vigorously "checked" by Msr. Kates (without warning) from behind... just seconds after which having regained my balance, I tossed the video camera to Mr Adams who then immediately commenced shooting the video footage seen in the google video below. Mr. Packer was right next to me as I was clobbered from behind by Mr. Kates!
:think:Recognizing Ms. Morano now, the viewer can then back-track slightly to 3:23 on the clock, where the viewer can see Ms. Morano, Pasco County, Florida Democratic Executive Committee Chairwoman walk past the camera and enter a doorway where at the 3:31 mark she re-emerges with Mr. Kates.
As a retained email from Mr. Cal Branche will attest, Exhibit 1 (See it below), I was an invited delegate to the 2007 convention, having placed my signature on a document affirming my oath as such, notarized at a Pasco County Florida DEC meeting in Spring of 2007.
:think: Alison and Karen and Mitch! Note... It is important for certain people who with malice and forethought in seeking to damage the credibility of another, that such individuals recognize, that making false statements and assertions about the character or stability about another person publicly, is not only inappropriate, but may be construed as libelous.
:think:I was subsequently ejected from Disney by Sheriff's Deputies at the request of Mitch Kates on orders from Ms. Morano, stating that I was being "disruptive."
Yes, I reacted verbally not physically as is apparent in the tape, having done so purposely after having been forcefully physically accosted without warning from behind no less, by Mr. Kates who is 6'6'' 280 pounds to my 5'8" 160 pounds.
SUMMARY It was clear that Mr. Kate's goal was to goad me into reacting physically to his aggression UNTIL he saw that he was being filmed by Mark Adams. Once he noticed that he was being filmed, Mr. Kates turned his aggression on Mark Adams who was in control of the camera, attempting to wrest the camera from the hands of Mr. Adams. Note Mr Kate's hand grasping at the camera clearly visible on the tape!
I did not attend this event as anyone other than a solid Progressive Democrat who had won the nomination of his party in the 2006 mid-term election.. (much to the chagrin of insider Democrats I might add), and as perhaps, an at the time as yet unannounced 2008 candidate.
This, like most of the attendees, in addition to supporting my Presidential candidate of choice at the time, John Edwards.
:think:Point of note, having been in the building not even 5 minutes with my wife rushing off to the bathroom and not having been in this particular venue before, I was fully planning on contributing my $50 dollars to the convention to most assuredly avoid ANY incident... But of course if I was truly prescient regarding this situation we would have had the camera on before we entered the building!
Full and UN-Cut Video of the event here!

October 2005
:think:As some may be aware, I was regarded well enough after my close second place finish in the 2004 Democratic Primary, that I was selected as just one of 18 candidates from across the nation to attend the AFSCME/NewHouse PAC Congressional Boot Camp in Phoenix Arizona in October of 2005.
Campaign Manager Jim Clarke and myself were honored to represent the Democrats of West Central Florida in meeting with then future House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as part of the schedule of events.
:wow:Some other candidates from accross the nation whose names you might recognize who also attended were Charlie Brown of California, FBI Whistle Blower Colleen Rowley who graced the cover of Time Magazine, the New Mexico State Attorney General at the time whose name I do not recall as well as Sarasota's Christine Jennings among the overall contingent of invitees.
WHO IS John Russell?
NOT... WHO "THEY" Say I Am!
People can believe what they want or "need" to believe about me, as I have been negatively portrayed using similarly "concocted" stories in the media and "elsewhere" with help from Republicans and Democrats alike.
I am proud to have been attacked as I have been to a quite severe extent by the media, as well as the "powers that be" through their lackies and shills which by the way include members of the media, because if I were not a threat to the status quo and its protectors I would have neither been opposed or attacked. These people understand that my propensity for being direct and pulling no punches with regard to party affiliation is damaging to their agenda; A characteristic that ingratiates me with some, while at times enraging others.
If you have a question I am available, as Mr. Piccillo :freak: found out when he attempted to contact me on Friday May 8, 2009. Returning Mr. Piccillo's call, and his line being busy we later that evening shared a relatively brief and pleasant conversation regarding District 5 and the upcoming 2010 race.
I wished him well noting that running for office I found to be on the whole, personally gratifying, despite all the frustrations and the like that can and do occur.
It is an honor to be able to present your ideas to the people whose role then, is to make their decision based on whatever information is available from various sources. Offering a bit of caution to Jim, I noted that not everything that is "published" ...will be "accurate." :)Boy IF THIS ARTICLE BY JOHN FRANK IS NOT THE FINAL STORY ON THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS! :) John Frank and Jimmy P. STEPPED RIGHT IN Itttt. Haaaa!
Go John Russell who IS NOT A CANDIDATE in 2010 as yet but will be perhaps in the future. 2012 might be good! Go Dave Werder!!!!
I am confident from my past experience that I reached many people with my ideas despite the mis-direction plays orchestrated by those from a variety of other arenas who harbor "differing" agendas.
As for my plans for 2010, I advised Mr. Piccillo that much can and will happen in the many months ahead before our next election...
Soooo... As Mr. Blutarski once so aptly stated...
"Nothing is over UNTIL WE SAY IT IS!"
What I'm all about as well as my contact information is quite clear and available on balance by reviewing my website. The content of my website is strictly of my creation and conveyed to the internet by my hand. Updates are pending...
VIDEOS A variety of videos on a wide range of topics including video of my debates with my Republican opponent are available on my Primary Youtube Channel, Link is below
