SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Marielena Stuart, Republican Candidate for the United States Senate 2012, from the Great State of Florida
With Endorsement by the Honorable Robert K. Dornan
THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE
I love America. My adopted country opened its doors to me and my family so that we could walk into the greatness of its freedom and its founding values.
Every time I look at our beautiful flag and place my hand over my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance and sing our National Anthem, I am reminded of our nation's promise to all her citizens — as the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Yet freedom is never really free, is it? It always comes at a great price.

Little-known U.S. Senate candidate Marielena Stuart wins Pinellas GOP straw poll
ST. PETERSBURG — Demonstrating just how volatile the race to unseat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson is two months before the Aug. 14 primary, Pinellas County Republicans delivered a surprise straw poll victory to little-known but fiery U.S. Senate candidate Marielena Stuart.
"I am very excited," Stuart, 56, said after the announcement. "I am on my way to Washington."
Cuban-born Stuart railed against President Barack Obama, Roe vs. Wade, communism in China and Cuba, and popular tea party targets like Agenda 21 during her 15-minute speech.

On Monday, Stuart nabbed 110 votes, former Sen. George LeMieux took 69 and frontrunner U.S. Rep. Connie Mack — who didn't show for the poll — took 12. Former Rep.

Marielena Stuart? Who?
The from-out-of-nowhere U.S. Senate candidate who won over Pinellas County Republicans in a straw poll Monday evokes Sarah Palin with her anti-establishment rhetoric and unwavering patriotism.
Marielena Stuart is her name on the campaign. When she's writing columns for conservative and Catholic websites, she goes by Marielena Montesino de Stuart.
She's been in the Senate race since August, generating a little buzz near her hometown city of Ave Maria (in southwest Florida near Naples) and among some tea party groups but not much statewide.
After the straw poll results were announced, one person shouted, "That's the tea party for you!"
Stuart has worked as a linguist and interpreter, speaking Spanish and French, with some Greek and Italian. Some of her columns have appeared in the Naples Daily News.
On Monday she spoke briefly of being the daughter of a Cuban political prisoner and being beaten by communists. She railed against same-sex marriage, abortions, sustainable development, China and the U.S. Department of Education, which she pledged to dissolve
