9/12 Candidates is proud to announce Bernard Sansaricq for U.S Congress, District 23-FL. 
Bernard Sansaricq is running for U.S Congress in Florida’s district 23. He is married to Alejandra and together they have three lovely daughters, Sandra, Pascale and Nicole.
Bernard has seen the struggles of human rights personally and has fought for them much of his career. He witnessed the killings of 13 family members by the Duvallier regime in 1964 inHaiti and was almost assassinated himself in 1987, but he managed to get to the Argentine Embassy for safety. From there he rose up to become a top leader in Haiti, and eventually the President of the Senate. While there, he was able to do so much for the people of Haiti, such as introducing the living wage for many, and improved the U.S relations with Haiti. In 1994, Bernard decided to return to the United States.
Bernard wants to use his experience in Haiti, to help the great state of Florida’s district 23. He will fight for small businesses, and human rights.
When asked why he is running for Congress, Bernard stated:
“First of all, I believe in the principles of personal responsibility and self motivation. I also believe that families provide our youth with the optimal conditions for success. I also believe that the Republican Party has been more willing to stand up to the brutality embodied by the Castro regime and more willing to pressure the Haitian government to take action against the horrific child labor abuses throughout its countryside. But what my campaign is about, is ensuring economic excellence, strengthening the ability of families to achieve the American Dream and reforming the justice system so that we stop making career criminals out of previously non-violent offenders.”
Bernard is for a strong military, law enforcement and intelligence agency support. He will fight for lower taxes, and help fight to keep jobs in America. He is pro-life and believes that life begins at conception. He would also like to use the “Voucher Program” for the schools in this district, so parents can allow their children to attend better schools, while they strengthen the other schools to make a better educational system for the children. He is also for strong immigration reform and to keep our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Mr. Sansaricq, we are proud to have you as a 9/12 Candidate!

Alexander Snitker is running as a candidate for the United States Senate in 2010 for the State of Florida. He is married to his high school sweetheart Kelly since 2000, and together they have a 21 month old son. 
He served for 8 yrs in the Marine Corps. This provided him with leadership training, ability to deal with pressure, endurance, a sense of pride in this country, as well as the ability to look at a situation and develop a solution. He was able to travel around the United States and around the world. This showed him that the decisions made in Washington have ramifications at home and abroad. His time within the government and currently in his civilian career has also showed him that the government can waste money and we need to make sure that fraud and abuse is kept to a minimum in every aspect of it. He also learned a sense of honor, integrity and commitment. If he says I he will do something then he will keep his word.
When Alex got out of the Marine Corps in 2001, he became a salesman for AXSA Document Solutions, Inc. This job has taught him that if you work hard for what you want, you can make it in this country. He had the opportunity to visit many different businesses to see how each of them operates and what the concerns of the small business owners were. He also was able to see that we need to get manufacturing jobs back into this country.
“That is the only way we will be able to have a productive middle class. I also have many non-profit business customers that have show me that there is an overwhelming need in the community.”
His career has also shown him the consequences of the decisions made by government and how they can damage or help all of the families that depend on a job for their well being.
He is an independent Candidate, with no party affiliation. He believes that the 2 party system that we currently have, has failed us as a country and we need citizen-legislators in Washington to put US back on track for liberty and prosperity for all Americans. When asked “why” he was running for U.S Senate he wrote:
“Like most of you I have watched politics lately and realized that there are few politicians that are listening to the people. I was calling their offices to find out how they stood on the Fair Tax. These officials will not directly answer this question… This is not an acceptable answer for me. I need to get straight forward answers to my questions. I now realize that this will never happen because this system is broken. But the great thing about this country is that everyone in elected office can be replaced within 6 yrs. That means that individuals can rise up and replace them with people that will make the changes that are really needed. I don’t care about democrats or republicans. Party affiliation shouldn’t be the only way to get elected and it seems to me that the one thing they both can agree on is that there is no room for anyone else. ANYONE ELSE REPRESENTS MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE THAT COULD VOTE. Does anyone really think that these parties have done a good enough job to deserve exclusivity in the political process?”
Alex is for establishing the Fair Tax, term limits for both the Senate and the House, balance budget amendments, strong illegal immigration reform, boarder control and energy independence. To see more about Alex, you can visit these sites:

“Clearly, during these most difficult times in our Nation’s history, most in Washington do not relate to those who elected them to start with. There is a real disconnect between the Washington politicians, and politics for us in our home state. Many have lost their jobs, their homes, their lifelong savings, and to this day I have not seen help “trickle” down to those in need. We have serious problems here in Florida District 19, and we need solutions to these problems.”
Jose wants to protect the 2nd amendment, as its a fundamental right of every American citizen. He would like to help our great nation become energy independent and break away from our foreign dependence. He is for fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, and immigration reform.
Jose is running as a Democrat, and is proud to be the FIRST 9/12 Candidate for the Democrat party. He feels that elections shouldnt be about party affiliation, but about the person you are electing to represent you. He stated that we need to break away from the two party system, and focus on the PEOPLE. Only then, can we get away from the He said/She said, party blaming that is happening now.
Jose we are proud to have you as our first Democrat for 9/12 Candidates. Hopefully you can break the mold, and we can start getting real “Statesment” back in office, that care about the people they represent, not just which way the wind blows!

I am pleased to announce Troy Stanley as a 9/12 Candidate for U.S Congress in Florida’s 4th District!
A twenty year veteran of the U.S Navy, father of three and a husband to his high school sweetheart, Troy Stanley has now decided to defend his country from the tyranny currently in Washington, by running for U.S Congress.
Troy has become a 9/12 candidate because he was brought up on these principles and values and simply put, as he stated: “Why wouldn’t a candidate sign this contract?”
Folks, this is so true… I personally feel that we need to hold our candidates and elected officials to these principles and values, and if they are not willing to sign this pledge, stating that they WILL uphold these, then that should be a clue to the voters that the candidate wont be true to the constitution, and the people they represent. By signing this contract, these candidates wont give in to lobbyists that will try to buy them off in office. Troy Stanley folks, is the real deal!!! Troy is one of the friendliest people I have met, and he is willing to work for YOUR vote, by going door to door, meeting with his voters, whatever it takes!
He was born in Lucasville, Ohio in 1964, and his family decided to move to Florida for a change in their life. They settled in New Smyrna Beach. In 1984 he got married and soon enlisted in the Navy and began his career in the military.
“There must be a voice in Washington to defend the citizens from the tyranny of career politicians. We need citizen legislators who aren’t continually running to save their jobs but rather looking to ‘ensure the blessings of liberty‘, as our Constitution states. Bailouts, buyouts, stimulus packages, the result is inevitably economic tyranny- not liberty”
Troy faces a tough road ahead of him, running against current Republican incumbent Ander Crenshaw. With a rough economy, he hopes to win the hearts of the people, and create a new standard of campaigning. He is willing to stand up to the “Washington Elite” and fight for YOUR rights as his constituents. Lets give him a helping hand.
He stands for Congressional Term Limits, the Fair Tax, and Smaller Government!
Mr. Stanley, we thank you for your service and we are glad to have you as a 9/12 candidate!

I am pleased to announce our next Florida 9/12 Candidate!!!
Bernie DeCastro, who is running for U.S Senate here in the Great state of Florida, has signed our contract.
A father of five children, he states his most important role in life is that he is a good father to them, and to see that they grow up with the love of God in their hearts, for others and their self. He prides himself on teaching them the history of this great nation, and to appreciate all they have in this world. He has lived in Marion County since 1984.
His past is all but perfect, but he has turned it around for the better. He has founded the Florida Ex-Offender Reentry Coalition (www.feorc.org ), the Time for Freedom, Inc, which is a non-for profit organization to help teach and preach the gospel to prisoners and helps to provide services for reentry to them. Bernie was convicted of drug related crimes; however, after ten years of being on parole, he was issued a full pardon by then Florida Governor, Lawton Chiles.
In 2003, Bernie was appointed by Governor Jeb Bush to be part of the Governor’s Statewide Faith-Based Advisory Board, and in 2006 he was again asked by Governor Bush to sit on the Governor’s Ex-Offender Task Force.
His stance on the issues are similar to those of the 9/12 followers, he is for sovereignty, limited government, term limits for Congress, closing our dependence for foreign oil, the Fair Tax, a strong immigration policy, he is Pro-life, and preserving our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
Bernie stands as a man of faith, and beliefs that share the same values you and I do. He is proven to be a converted man, that has changed his life for the better, and now he wants to do the same for Florida. He is proof that people can change for the better, if given the chance. Here is our chance to see that change!
A quote from him on his Facebook account on what he stands for:
“I believe that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and it is the adherence to those principles that have made us the greatest nation on the face of the earth. I believe that capitalism is the greatest system but that we are currently on the verge of of moving from capitalism to socialism or fascism.”
