Now that the campaign season is officially here, Aaron has a website: aaronforclearwater.com
You can reach out to him to assist, and there is a page where you can donate to support his campaign.
If you did not read this, here is my recent post Aaron Smith-Levin for Clearwater City Council
Are those bumper stickers for sale? I’d totally buy one and put it on my car and I’m not even in florida.
Aaron is knowledgeable, articulate, and affable.
He will do well.
Give that Pimping Homunculus is comeuppance, Aaron!
Best Wishes for your success!
The Donate button in the page https://aaronforclearwater.com/donate <– asks for information (tlf etc) from the US. I'm not from the US but I'm a fan of this movement and want to donate. It also says "Donate via Paypal, or push this button". How can I donate via paypal directly?. It is not explained there.
I don't know how these things work but creating a PayPal Me page in the paypal account would help international donors.
Thanks
I don’t donate to political elections that much but I’m really rooting for him to win, so I sent a donation. Please send a donation to this guy that is sticking his neck out and taking on the cult.
As soon as the site was up I donated. Aaron can have an impact on helping Clearwater grow despite Miscavige’s attempts to do a land grab. Helping the citizens of Clearwater improve the downtown area will have repercussions for Scientology everywhere. So helping Aaron win has big potential to weaken the cult even more.
First thoughts are what have been the past candidates’ campaigning methods to reach the public.
With the Tampa Bay Times article and maybe some few TV news spots, that would be huge free advertising for your campaign.
Aaron is so smart, his brains are his, and not any type of Scientology residual influence into his success.
The issues in life of what causes what, to me, since Aaron and Chris Shelton became vocal as ex’s, it was proof that people are innately what drives them in life, and not some subjects’ effects on their personal ambitions and drives to extend out into life and do things and effect the world.
Aaron is a valuable citizen and I hope he does good for Clearwater, and it would be a welcome payback to Clearwater for him to do good there.
Vocal and good deeds doing ex’s are huge valuable proof of coming out on the “wrong” side of the Scientology “Doubt” formula steps, for real. And coming out and joining and working in society’s good sides.
Yes it’s a small amount but it will help! Rock on Aaron! Keep up your great work! Plus Mike keep going strong!
Glad to see this. A bit disappointed though in the “fight Scientology” message that I see Aaron is using on his website, from my perspective something like “stand up to Scientology” would frame things better. “Fight back against Scientology” would at least reflect the reality that the CofS has seen their occupation of Clearwater as part of war since the initial covert “invasion”, and that in legitimate response Clearwater needs to stand up resolutely if not forcefully, to an opponent that is likely implacable.
But conflict is a popular framing in politics, so perhaps it’s the most effective formulation, unfortunately.
Peacemaker….with any other
“Church”….one CAN stand up to it.
With Scientology….it is the FIGHT OF OUR LIVES.
Thank you Aaron Smith Levin. You are a hero.
DN, no other “church” is as practiced at crying “bigotry” and turning things back on critics and challengers. I’m concered Aaron’s messaging may play into their hand, allowing them to spin opposition to their exploitation and abuses as anti-religious bigotry.
I’ve been around long enough to see what happened for example to the Cult Education Network, and Bob Minton and the Lisa McPherson trust. Scientology will exploit any weakness or mistake.
I deeply appreciate Aaron’s efforts, and just want to see him succeed where others have failed.
I live about as far from Clearwater as you can get in the continental U.S., but I hope we can all pitch in and help Aaron financially, however modest that might me.
Yes lets help if possible. Aaron can do a lot of good or a lot of damage depending on how you look at it .
He is the most articulate advocate and his clean transparent mind will shake and move things effectively.
Agreed! I’m a starving artist in Portland Oregon and I kicked in $10 I can’t afford lol. So worth it.
I think Leah should run for president. I would vote for her, if only for the joy of hearing her tell Congress “Go fuck yourselves.”
Wait.
What?
Scientology lies?
😉
Yes, it does. It stands in a half dug grave with a shovel and is digging deeper.
What is the truth?
Some people embrace falsehoods because an authority figure told them to do so. We see this in Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard told his followers to embrace the falsehoods he generated. Those who expose the falsehoods generated by Hubbard (such as Paulette Cooper) are deemed as enemies and are harassed at the orders of those who generated the falsehood.
Superb comment.👌
Each lie ,is built on earlier lie , which is standing on earlier earlier lie, so on so forth.
You bring down one, and it goes down like house of cards.
That’s how Cult works, it is run by those who survive through fake and fraud.
Mike, it’s a shame you can’t run, as you’re the best counter to scientology’s dirty politics alive.
Yes, I would need to move to Clearwater to be eligible.
Good luck, Aaron! I admire your being able to say “church” with a straight face. scientology is not and never has been anything resembling a *church*. The UK has the right idea, requiring EVIDENCE of charitable works before granting tax exemption. scientology can never pass that test as they consider that contributing to “downstats”, which is absolutely verboten.
