IT'S
ALL IN THE FAMILY! And it surely sounds good to proclaim FAMILY
VALUES as a top priority, trying to tell others how to live their
lives. But there is a huge difference between preaching it and living it.
How else can you explain "EXHIBITION
A" of a TEMPORARY INJUNCTION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?
EXHIBIT"
A"
I am in eminent fear for my life to the point that I have fled out
of town temporarily and am scared
to return to my residence. I filed for divorce almost 5 months
ago. At the time of filing for divorce,
my Husband left the house and elected to live at another residence
because of his position with
the Senate and his fears about our reputation. However, since that
time, he has continued to stalk
me almost to the point that I am in constant, ongoing fear for my
life and safety of my friends and
family. He has indicated that would ensure that I did not finish
this divorce alive and that he will continue
to follow me until it was all over. My Husband has (or caused some
one to) attempted to break
into my office (police were called), my computer hacked
(investigation with FDLE is underway),
my house bugged, my phone hacked, and up to last week, someone was
beating on the back
door of my house at almost midnight just to cause me to be totally
in fear.
Further, I have been repeatedly followed and have had to hire
individuals for my ongoing protection.
My family and friends (in and out of Florida) have been followed
by what appears to be either
my Husband or people he has hired to cause great distress on them.
My corporate office in Washington,
DC has been threatened if they did tell him where I was staying
(December, 2009).
My Husband is capable of doing anything, including great bodily
harm to me, because of the divorce
case and criminal investigations in which I am a witness. I have
great concerns for my friends
and family and most of all myself. My Husband can be extremely
explosive and violent especially
when under the influence of alcohol and is capable of doing
anything. I am very concerned
that he will also cause our animals harm because of his anger
towards me and he is aware that
I love them very much. Our marriage has been emotionally volatile
and he has been extremely verbally
abusive and on at least one occasion physical with me.
I am seeking immediately Court intervention because I am at the
point where I believe that I
am in grave harm and that this situation is explosive after last
night. I need to return to my house but
am unable to do so without the Court's intervention and
protection. Tallahassee Police Department
were called to my house. According to friends and witnesses, my
Husband proceeded to
ransack the house after the police left. I would request an
immediate injunction for my protection
and safety. He is capable of anything at this point. I do not have
family in this area and am
requesting additional security assistance. Further, he has
repeatedly told me that he isn't scared of
the Court or cops, and win finish this his way. |
This
was submitted to the court on May 21, 2010 by Claudia Davant, former wife
of Florida Senate Majority
(Republican) Leader Senator Alex
Diaz de la Portilla, one of the most powerful Republicans in the Senate. Alex
is a man who usually preaches “family values.”
What I read in Exhibition
A is in my opinion rather the opposite of what he is preaching.
Wouldn't you agree?
Even
if Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla immediately denied the claims made
in this Temporary Injunction and called
the allegations "bold-face lies," we all know the old saying:
"Where there is smoke, there is fire!" We all know about
divorce cases, but even if only 50% of the allegations are true, this
person shouldn't be a
Florida
senator.
Actually,
his term will be up in November. But
in order to keep the special interest money in the family, his brother
Miguel is running for the District 36 Senate seat. And
while Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla was selling his constituents to
special interest in exchange for campaign funds for brother Miguel,
brother Miguel was working as a lobbyist to collect the special interest
money for the family.
Here is Miguel de la Portilla’s latest lobbying adventure. Miguel is trying to sell an eight-story apartment building near Downtown Dadeland to the council -- against the will of the citizens that live in the neighborhood. Just read the interesting parts of the article:
Kendall
residents concerned over proposed Dadeland apartment building
Miami
Herald, May 20, 2010
"This
area could use a face-lift,'' said attorney and former Miami-Dade
county commissioner Miguel
Diaz de la Portilla, who represented the property owner.
Diaz
de la Portilla suggested that the area west of the Palmetto near
Downtown Dadeland would benefit from an upgrade and that this
project would create a "boom.''
"This
will be a good thing for the area,'' Diaz de la Portilla told the
council.
But
this is what nearby residents had to say:
"We
don't want more congestion, more traffic, more density; what we
want is to preserve the integrity of our neighborhood,'' said
Daniza Perez, board member of the Kingston Square Condo
Association, which represents a complex directly across the street
from The Colony.
"This
is a low-rise community, a highly residential community; there are
trees,'' Perez said. "What we don't want is more traffic.
Please, we have to live here.''

I
would strongly suggest that the above examples clearly show where the
Diaz de La Portilla brothers are really coming from. They preach one
thing, but their actions and words show their true colors!
Obviously, they have no quarrel with using their elected offices
for personal gain.
Currently,
Miguel Diaz de la Portilla is the "bagman" (officially
called lobbyist) for the family. Senator Alex uses the power of his
elected office to make Miguel a "successful" lobbyist and Alex
intends to make Miguel his "successor" in office. Because of
term limits, they want to trade places in November. Then
Alex will be the "bagman" -- while Miguel wants to hold
office in a seat bought and paid for by special interest!
Voters
don’t need a family that has proven over and over again that their
friends are special interest! Voters
in Senate District 36 should make sure that they will be represented in
the future by a senator who listens to the constituents.
