Mr. Beck,

We are writing to tell you about a systematic purge that is occurring, the stifling of free speech and the removal of certain voices of dissent from the Republican Party of Florida.

In recent months there has been a concentrated effort to remove American patriots that are calling for accountability among the Republican Party of Florida leadership, specifically, Florida Republican Chairman Jim Greer.

The Republican Liberty Caucus (www.RLC.org) is a group of Republicans working within the Republican Party to return the party to its conservative roots. We believe that we must stand up for individual liberties, limited government and fiscal responsibility. We fight for these principles without regard to party affiliation and with the same vigor and passion exemplified in our Founding Fathers. We believe that if we don’t, we will continue to lose our liberties one by one.

For this principled stand we have been singled out to be purged from party leadership. Several official grievances, against Republican Liberty Caucus men and women were filed in July 2009 with the Republican Party of Florida.

The specific “charges” against Republican Liberty Caucus State Chairman Will Pitts and Northeast Florida Chairman John Stevens include:

1. Attended a Pro-America Rally in Minneapolis hosted by the Campaign for Liberty and wore a “Ron Paul” button on their lapel after the Republican primary.

2. Attended an End the Fed (Federal Reserve Bank) Rally in Jacksonville

3. Spoke or written things in a manner harmful to the GOP especially regarding RPOF Chairman Jim Greer and Gov. Charlie Crist by stating they are “pathetic and embarrassing” and other comments regarding Senator John McCain and President George Bush.

The Republican Party of Florida is basing their complaints and the ensuing expulsion on the new wording of the Loyalty Oath that is required to be signed by all party leadership within the State.

The last part of this oath reads:

“I further swear and affirm that I will not engage in activities or conduct that may be deemed by the Grievance Committee and affirmed by the RPOF Chairman as likely to injure the name of the Republican Party or interfere with the activities of the Republican Party.”

Many of us attended the Grievance hearing, in which these men and women had to defend their patriotism and ‘loyalty to the party”, not the country or it’s Constitution, or even the principles of The Party but to “The Party” itself.

These men, who have fought for the Republican Party, and its core principles in a way that few will ever know, had to ‘prove’ they had not injured the Party, as determined by grievance board member that were specifically appointed by Chairman Greer.

It is interesting to note that the original grievance complaint against John Stevens and Will Pitts sent to Jim Greer was written by someone (William Blythe) that has never met either of these men let alone address his grievance with them. Mr. Blythe also did not see fit to even attend the grievance hearing to defend his complaint.

It is also of value to note that grievances against Republican Liberty Caucus members were filed in several counties around Florida at the same time, which lends credibility to this being a systematic “party purge”.

It is our wish that you will investigate this matter further and make this purging a public matter.

This is the price we are paying in Florida for being independent thinkers and standing up for the cause of liberty.

Fighting for Liberty,

Kristi Dunn

Kimberly Wells

Erik Setzer

Savannah Poole

And over 75 other Patriots fighting for liberty around the country

It's probably a better idea to send that to Judge Napolitano.

Did Glenn ever mention it?

He made a quick jab at Graham the following Monday about something specific he said. Other than that, nothing.

Glenn never replies to my messages. I've e-mailed him several times with no answer (I wonder if Malkin will return?). I'm sure his inbox is loaded day in and day out. Just reading through them is pain enough I would assume. Hopefully he catches it though. This seems to be something he'd love to focus on.
