Paul Deering, the Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee of Volusia County (RECVC), is engaging in a relentless effort to mislead thousands of voters. The most shocking instance is his unapologetic omission of Republicans in good standing from the Voter Guide. Jeff Brower, the incumbent Republican County Chair and winner of the Primary election, was unfairly omitted using Rule 8; a decision that goes against the principles of transparency and fairness. This Guide was distributed among all Republicans and Independents in Volusia County, creating a dangerous illusion that Randy Dye is the only candidate running for Volusia County Chair.

Furthermore, the REC VC is facing legal scrutiny for the alleged racial discrimination of Rosa C. Campbell, who is herself a member of the local Republican Executive Committee. According to an article in the West Volusia Beacon, Campbell "alleges Deering and others engaged in discrimination “against certain types of Conservative members of VCREC by turning them away from joining [the] committee. Campbell’s complaint was first filed with the West Volusia Branch of the NAACP, but she has in recent days delivered a refined complaint to the U.S. District Court in Orlando. In the filing with the NAACP that accompanies her federal complaint, Campbell writes that Deering, on Feb. 11, 2018, “referred to me as the token Black” in the REC and “made negative comments about Hispanics. Campbell also wrote that Deering “had me removed from a candidate endorsement meeting on June 25, 2024 because I was taking pictures of candidates speaking, that I would vote on their endorsement by the Republican party and listed in the voter guide.” Campbell writes that the denial of her right to vote on candidate endorsements was a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s 15th Amendment, which reads in part: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.” Campbell noted, too, that her claims “arise under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” In her federal-court filing, Campbell is seeking a jury trial and $75,000 in damages, as well as court costs, legal expenses and “punitive damages to send a message throughout the USA to other political groups that behavior of the VCREC Chairman, Paul Deering, will not be tolerated.” (source: https://beacononlinenews.com/2024/10/03/does-the-volusia-county-republican-party-discriminate/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGZvVJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHaGJJRtw2f4L1wbmuffCc2zPNIug_YoTB9Jqky0FB9i5fZMXtnc0WY-Lpg_aem_UY8cEMDcV4Af9YI8zVvR-w

This petition is about the democratic rights of thousands of Volusia County voters potentially undermined. The Voter Guide is a highly utilized tool, and its manipulation is a gross violation of citizen's trust. Paul Deering's actions betray the principles our county holds dear, endangering the integrity of our voting system, which should reflect the voice of all, not just a select few.

We, the people of Volusia County, demand transparency, honesty, and accountability from those in power. It is hence vital that we rally together to demand the resignation of Paul Deering. The future of our county is at stake. Please sign this petition and help restore the fairness and integrity of Volusia County's political system.
