PROOF: ROLY ARROJO IS A DEMOCRAT AND A FAKE TEA-PARTY CANDIDATE (Links to all public records here)
Here are the public campaign records proving that Roly Arrojo is a Democrat, but he wants voters to think he is representing the Tea-Party-Movement.
Informed voters know that the "Tea Party" is not a political party, but a movement or loosely affiliated smaller local groups composed by every-day Americans who care about the U.S. Constitution and oppose government waste and abuse. The name "Tea Party" alludes to the historical Boston Tea Party of 1773 when Americans protested the British monarchy and their taxation.

Besides the two leading candidates for Florida's 25th congressional district Republican David Rivera and Democrat Joe Garcia, there is a third candidate - Roly Arrojo (a.k.a. Jose Rolanndo Arrojo) who is still a mystery. He has no campaign website and no campaign funds. He submitted documents to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as a Democrat. Later he filed a paper indicating his party affiliation as TEA. There are also reports that Roly Arrojo has links to the Democrat candidate Joe Garcia.

ROLY ARROJO LINKED TO DEMOCRAT JOE GARCIA
Roly Arrojo is friend of Democrat Joe Garcia's campaign manager (Miami Herald, PDF)
In a review of public records, The Herald found Arrojo and Jeffrey Garcia, Joe Garcia's campaign manager, listed as managing members of Project Mercury, a Miami Beach-based real estate management and procurement company registered in Florida in 2005. Jeffrey Garcia, who is not related to his boss, resigned from Project Mercury.

Miami-Dade County records also show Garcia owned property in Miami's Upper Eastside with Arrojo and his wife, Michelle. The trio purchased the property for $775,000 in 2005 and sold it for $256,750 in May.

Garcia said he and Arrojo know each other from their days at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School and that, along with other classmates, they took part in Project Mercury to invest in real estate -- a costly venture that did not end well. [...]

"Jeffrey is a friend and we were part of an investment that went sour when the housing market crashed,'' Arrojo wrote. "We have been trying for sometime to terminate and close out that deal."

ROLY ARROJO IS NOT BEHAVING LIKE A CANDIDATE:
No website. No campaigning. (Miami Herald, PDF)
He has no campaign website yet. [...]

He has not done much campaigning, Arrojo said, because he has been traveling. "I hope to have a website soon and will reach out to voters in the coming months,'' he wrote.

Roly Arrojo is not complying with campaign paperwork: (Miami Herald, PDF)
"...Arrojo has not submitted periodic campaign finance reports, as required when a candidate spends more than $5,000. [A Republican state committeewoman] said she feared Democrats recruited Arrojo to run in the race. "That's the way it looks,'' she said. [...]

Though Arrojo has not submitted any campaign finance reports, state elections records show he paid the $10,440 candidate qualifying fee. He has also not filed financial disclosures with the House, which can fine candidates $200 if they send in the paperwork -- due last May 15 -- more than 30 days late.

No campaign financing records (Links to all public records here)
- OpenSecrets, which tracks money in politics, has no record for Roly Arrojo.
- Federal Election Commission shows zero donations to Arrojo's campaign.

TEA PARTY GROUPS CALL ARROJO A FAKE:

TEA PARTY IS A MOVEMENT NOT A POLITICAL PARTY

IF THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT IS SO BAD, WHY ARE DEMOCRATS PRETENDING TO BE TEA PARTY CANDIDATES?

All the TEA Partiers I know make a habit of personal research and are better informed than the general public.

These bozos don't know who they are dealing with, which bodes very well for us.

Knowing your enemy is the first rule of war, ain't it?
