A funny thing happened during Governor Rick Scott’s visit to Coral Springs on Thursday: running into Christine Timmon, write-in candidate for Lieutenant Governor who was dressed in what appeared to be a burka holding a sign “Wife Murder Higher After Scott Veto,” and “Tax Breaks for Murder.”
Timmon who says she is a Christian, therefore not Muslim as the burka would suggest, was largely ignored by Scott supporters. I was intrigued, and frankly a little bored waiting for Scott’s bus to roll in, so I figured I’d find out more about her.
Looking into legal suits that Timmon has filed over the years shows a person who is extremely litigious, with every case using 42 U.S. Code 1983 as the nature of the suit. U.S. Code 1983 is civil action for deprivation of rights which helps protect people and provides a remedy for a wide array of civil rights violations. What she probably didn’t know at the time was that state and regional legislators, local legislatures, city council members, and county commissioners are immune from this law.
Here are some of her suits:
- In 2006, filed suit against the City of Lansing, Michigan for violating her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights while making her refrain from saying derogatory comments about others who were non-commission members during public comments.
- In November 2009, Timmon filed a suit against City Council members of Lansing, Michigan under Section 1983. Case Dismissed.
- In August 2010, filed a suit under Section 1983 against a Lansing Michigan Councilwoman A’Lynne Robinson which was denied.
- In November 2012, she filed a suit against President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid under Section 1983.
- In December 2012, she filed a suit against the United States Government and Attorney General Eric Holder under Section 1983.
- In 2013, she filed a Section 1983 Civil Rights case against Rick Scott, Christopher Smith, Perry Thurston, Pam Bondi and all State of Florida Legislators, which was dismissed.
- Most recently, Timmon filed a Civil Rights suit under Section 1983 against the City of Hollywood, FL in July 2014.
Timmon also claims or never denies to be an attorney in this article, however, she is neither a member of the Florida Bar or Michigan bar.
Campaign flyer for Christine Timmon for Florida Governor
One of the things she was protesting about during Governor Scott’s visit to South Florida was State Bill 178 which attempted to revise alimony laws. The bill passed in the Florida House and Senate but was ultimately vetoed by Rick Scott in May, 2013. If it had passed, it would have ended permanent alimony in Florida, making it harder to get alimony in short-term marriages, and prevented alimony payments from lasting longer than half the length of the marriage. The bill also would have required judges to give divorced parents equal custody of their children, absent extraordinary circumstances.
Timmon said that after Scott vetoed it, it caused the murder of several children.
“What children?” I asked.
“Those children over there.”
When I looked, there were no children…anywhere.
Timmon also told me that she is responsible for all the welfare reform in this country and even worked with Newt Gingrich.
In her handout, it says that her running-mate for Governor, Charles Tolbert (NPA) is a Pastor who has a doctorate in education, a master’s in theology and is a retired master sergeant in the US Army. Their brochure says they will add “spice and diversity” to the race.
One of their campaign promises is to make all driver’s licenses and car registrations permanent by only registering once at the time of purchase and never again until you buy another one. A driver’s license would be permanent unless one gets too many tickets.
They also want to reform immigration by opening a State of Florida immigration office, issuing state residency cards with a magnetic strip that reveals they are in Florida legally. Currently, there are many United States Immigration locations already in Florida, and this plan would supersede that process. The Florida card would cost $1,500 a year, and Tolbert and Timmon says it will bring “billions of dollars to Florida.”They want to have programs to train families to take care of their relatives instead of sending them to nursing homes “saving Florida billions of dollars in reduced nursing home costs.”
So Florida, if you’re not happy with Crist or Scott, you now have another option in this election and she’ll provide a lot of great material for me too.

Forget about the others, Adrian Wyllie is the right choice by far.
Why vote between 2 known liars? Florida, we are fortunate enough not to
be stuck picking one liar or the other this time. We actually have an
alternative. Take advantage of the opportunity. Adrian Wyllie deserves
my vote. He is a honest average Floridian just as you and I , that is
willing to stand up and do something for the interest of all of us here
in Florida. The other candidates both Republican and Democrat are owned
and controlled by special interest, like puppets and will lie to your
face to gain your vote, then continue the same old agenda that we
complain about year after year. Time to get off this merry-go-round,
election after election, thinking it will be any different. Take a
stand, vote for the candidate that loves this state and is willing to
take time out of his life, effort and money to SERVE the people of
Florida and stop voting for these ‘paid for’ career politicians that are
only out for money and fame and have zero interest in us Floridians.
Even if it’s just for honesty alone, vote for Adrian Wyllie instead of
the other two (Scott/Crist) which are proven liars. The choice is yours
and yours alone, if you want the same old corruption and slap in the
face, go ahead and vote for one of the two puppets (Scott/Crist) OR do
what is right for our (yours and your children’s) future and vote for
Adrian Wyllie. Support him by donating to his campaign, spreading the
word and contribute to the super brochure program which I think is very
powerful. Visit his website today
I’ll be voting Wyllie for sure.
