Clarification of Chairman Pitts' remarks regarding Alex Snitker Saturday, 30 October 2010 14:16 |  Written by Matthew D Nye |   
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida (RLCFL) wishes to clear up any confusion about a recent email authored by RLCFL Chairman Will Pitts. His expression of his personal intention to cast his vote for Libertarian Party candidate Alexander Snitker for United States Senate did not represent the official position of the Republican Liberty Caucus. The Republican Liberty Caucus is prohibited by both its state and national by-laws from endorsing or supporting any candidate who opposes a Republican Party nominee in the general election. If Chairman Pitts' statements created any other impression it was an error. The Republican Liberty Caucus believes that the most effective way to return our nation to its traditional, Constitutional principles is through the Republican Party. We hope that if Speaker Rubio wins this election, he will go to the Senate as an advocate for the principles of limited government and individual liberty which the RLC and most Florida Republicans believe in. Sincerely,
The Executive Board of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida RLC State, National Conventions ScheduledMonday, 11 October 2010 15:56 | Written by Matthew D Nye |

Rick Scott to headline Central East Florida RLC's Constitution Day DinnerSunday, 05 September 2010 09:00 | Written by Matthew D Nye |
"This event will honor those who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to create our great nation" RLCCEF founder Matt Nye said. "This country was founded on the principles of individual rights, limited government and free enterprise, so it is very appropriate that we will have entrepreneur and Republican Gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott as our keynote speaker". "Now, more than ever, Americans must become active in the political process - we want them to come out, get engaged, and learn how they can make a difference within both the Republican Party and their government," Nye said. "Apathy is no longer an option; just as our forefathers stood against the redcoats so many years ago, Americans must once again stand up and fight if they want to preserve the greatest country known to man."

RLC of Florida signs resolution petitioning RPOF to overturn Chairman Greer grievance rulingsTuesday, 22 December 2009 09:48 | Written by Kristi Dunn |
The late summer ruling from Jim Greer removed several RLC members from leadership positions within the RPOF Orlando, Florida — Last week, the Florida chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus held a statewide meeting whereby the membership passed a resolution condemning the actions of the Republican Party of Florida. In September five Republican Liberty Caucus members were removed from the Republican Party leadership for being outspoken supporters of limited government policies, individual liberties and for demanding accountability within the Republican Party of Florida Leadership. Vice Chairwoman Kimberly Wells of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Northeast Florida (RLCNEF) explains the ruling from September. “The Republican Party of Florida unjustly purged a number of fellow Republican Liberty Caucus members due to their outspoken criticism and call for accountability within the Republican Party of Florida.” The Ruling from Chairman Greer came after a long battle to silence any dissent within the Republican Party of Florida. The reasons for this ‘Party Purge’ were that the ousted members 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 because we are members of the Republican Liberty Caucus. “This resolution is important because it lets grassroots activists know that there are still people in the Republican Party who are standing firm on principles,” said John Stevens, RLCNEF Chairman. “It also sends a message to Jim Greer and the Party’s leadership that the Republican Liberty Caucus is not backing down in its fight for accountability amongst Republicans.”
