CROWLEY LAW 1415 DEAN STREET, SUITE 106 FORT MYERS, FLORIDA 33901 CWCrowley@hotmail.com 239-332-0303 August 14, 2018 Mr. Jack Franklin Wise ‘The Florida Bar 651 East Jefferson Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-2300 RE: Florida Bar File No. 2019-10,070 (20A) Dear Mr. Wise, This letter serves as my response to Richard J. Montecalvo’s frivolous bar complaint from earlier this month, He abuses the Florida Bar Rules to score cheap political points ina political campaign. Montecalvo spends most of his time, on the taxpayer’s dime, campaigning for my opponent in the Republican primary for State Attorney. Montecalvo currently serves as an Assistant State Attorney for the 20" Judicial Circuit, where he serves as a special assistant to my primary opponent. He is openly hostile to my candidacy and attempts to use the Florida Bar Rules to score cheap political points, Montecalvo’s frivolous complaint is unbecoming of a member of the Florida Bar and itself a violation of the Florida Bar Rules. Richard J. Montecalvo clearly has a problem with the truth. The Palestine Liberation Organization is a documented terrorist organization. My Republican primary opponent, Amria D. Fox, uncle Sidgi twice served on the Executive Board of this terrorist organization. My opponent's father, Taher Dajani, wrote a radical pro-PLO book, “From Palestine to America.” Taher Dajani dedicated this book to his daughter, Amira D. Fox. ‘My campaign has taken issue with Amira D. Fox's close ties with the PLO, as well as her refusal to denounce the radical anti-Jewish claims in the book, “From Palestine to America.” It should be noted the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) is not a race, ethnicity, nor religion, but a Jong-known terrorist organization with the political aim of the destruction of the State of Israel. Nowhere in Montecalvo’s complaint does it factually show that I disparaged anyone’s race, religion or ethnicity.Recently endorsed by famous political consultant and Presidential advisor Roger Stone. Proud to have Roger Stone’s support, friendship and endorsement. Stone made some comments online about my opponent. That is not a violation of any Florida Bar Rule, but it is an exereise in free speech. The Florida Bar serves as a defender of the Constitution and the First Amendment. Would ask the Florida Bar to continue to this practice and stand behind Rogers Stone's free exercise of his First Amendment rights, My hope is that the bar will Respectfully; Any Christopher W. Crowle Florida Bar #0157570 1415 Dean Street Fort Myers, FL 33901 smiss this frivolous matter as soon as possible.
