Florida Republican Party Wages War on Liberty Caucus: 'Party Purge' Expels Caucus Chair and Members from RPOF Positions
Dear Friend of Liberty,
Last Friday, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Grievance Committee notified Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida Chairman Will G. Pitts of Jacksonville and four other Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) members that they have been removed from positions within the RPOF or are prohibited from serving in any official RPOF capacity for a period of no less than two years
"The reasons for this 'Party Purge' are that we have collectively and individually called for a complete audit of the Republican Party of Florida finances, advocated for candidates not favored by party leaders, and that we are members of the Republican Liberty Caucus," said activist Doug Guetzloe of Orlando, one of the 'purged' members.
Please help the Republican Liberty Caucus fight the Republican Party of Florida's direct attack on Liberty Republicans.
Here are a few ways that you can help:
1) Contact RNC National Chair Michael Steele [eMail] at (202) 863-8500 and the two Florida RNC Committee Representatives, Paul Senft [eMail] and Sharon Day [eMail].
You can link them to this article for details about the situation.
Please be respectful, as these parties may not be aware of the situation. Request that they investigate this matter and then take action against Jim Greer. Explain that Mr. Greer and the RPOF Grievance Committee overstepped its boundaries by booting out NUMEROUS elected representatives of grassroots Republican activists for no reason.
2) Write a letter to your local newspaper highlighting this issue. Please review our sample letters to the editor and our Florida media list.
3) Call the Republican Party of Florida at (850) 222-7920 and (850) 222-7920. Give them a piece of your mind. Delmar W. Johnson, Executive Director of RPOF, voted to have RLC members banned from the party. Let Delmar and his staff know what you think about that!
4) Contact members of the RPOF Grievance Committee -- the folks who voted to boot Mr. Pitts and other RLC members. Express your frustration -- no, outrage! -- that they are purging active Liberty Republicans from the party!
The members include:
Jim Greer [eMail]: Phone is same as RPOF HQ: 850-222-7920
Tony DiMatteo, Chair of Committee [eMail]: 727-398-5850
Delmar W. Johnson [eMail]: 850-681-2063 or 850-222-7920
Doug Adkins (eMail): 904-261-2213
Linda Ivell (eMail): 863-602-9866
Deno Hicks (eMail): 904-819-9170
Richard Solze (eMail): 904-964-5803
Cynthia Henderson (eMail): 850-210-5385
Nancy Riley (eMail): 727-573-5222
Jason Brodeur (eMail): 407-963-9576
Remember, these are the same "leaders" who helped Barack Obama win Florida -- a decidedly Republican state -- last year. Perhaps party activists have had enough of their "leadership" -- especially when they're booting our fellow liberty-lovers from the party!
5) Join the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida on Facebook and Yahoo. There is also a reform-oriented Facebook group called "Restore the Republican Party of Florida" operated by RLC member Nick Egoroff. Also, if you haven't yet done so, please join the RLC or donate today!
6) Tune in to the weekly Republican Liberty Caucus Podcast LIVE on Thursday at 11 EST at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rlcradio. RLC Chair Dave Nalle plans to interview several of Florida RLC members who were involved in the situation. Hear their story and call in with questions!
Friends, we are winning. When the party leadership has to stoop this low, it is clear that we are having an impact. Now is NOT the time to give up, but to keep on fighting!
The fight has just begun!
Our message of individual liberty, free markets, and limited government is gaining support all across Florida.
The Republican Liberty Caucus hopes to provide you with a courageous, principled, and committed voice for reform in the Republican Party.
Please take the above-outlined steps to defend our leading voices of liberty in the RPOF. It's the grassroots versus the establishment political class. Your phone calls, letters, and donations will make the difference.
Sincerely,
Dave Nalle
National Chair
P.S. RLC Advisor Barry Goldwater, Jr. will be speaking at the Florida Sovereignty Summit on September 11 and 12. To learn more or to register, click here.
According to FL RLC Vice Chair...
Steven Smith:
"It seemed to me that grievances filed against Mr. Pitts were weak, amounting to basically attending the Rally for the Republic, like many of us who worked on the Paul campaign, in apparent violation of a loyalty oath which, it is my understanding that, the party may never have obtained from Mr. Pitts. On the character front, during the hearing, I understand his accusers trotted out a buck sheriff in uniform, barely out of training, who claimed that Mr. Pitts fit the profile of a "political terrorist" or some such nonsense. It was a low move and obviously false to anyone with plain sense. "

Fossils Rock!
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
ouch
interesting, he freely went to an event about small government, honest money and conservative values. That is a no no for the GOP.
We have the potential to...
turn this into a positive for the RLC, if we play it wisely.

I'd like to see...
Pitts, Egeroff, Guetzloe, and the others on Freedom Watch - and anywhere else they can spread word of this...
This needs to be turned around on the RPOF leadership - Blowback needs to happen.
