Register as Republican to vote for Donald Trump in Florida GOP primary

Florida is a closed election state.

Perhaps you may not really comprehend the true meaning of closed election but that is a common inquiry. The Republican Primary is March 15. This is an important date because that is the date we elect Donald Trump as the Republican nominee and "Make America Great Again."

Kindly check your voter card and make sure you are a registered Republican. This is a Republican Primary. If you are not registered as a Republican, you will not be able to vote for Donald Trump on March 15. He will not be on your ballot.

Good news: You have until Feb. 16 to change your political party and vote for Donald.

It is a simple process and there are three ways to do this. You may go to Manatee Elections Office site and print a form; you may drive to Elections Office, or you may send a short note to the Elections Office stating your intent with your name, address and signature.

Please exercise your right to vote and share this message with others. Remember, independents cannot vote for Donald Trump on March 15 if they are not a registered Republican by Feb. 16.

The Republican Primary will actually decide the election. With registering and support from you, the decision will be concluded in the primary. I am confident that Donald Trump will defeat Hillary Clinton but I need your participation in the March 15 Republican Primary election.

Your vote in this election is essential for the future of our country, your future and the future of our children. Exercise your right to vote!

You may email me at DonnaManatee@gmail.com to volunteer. I have signs, shirts and and bumper stickers in my garage, ready to go!
