That's bullS/hit, I urge everyone to contact the Republican Party of Florida and urge them to reconsider their move here, esp those that are FLGOP voters. I sent mine:
I would hope that people aren't wearing t-shirts to REC meetings nor making the rounds talking about Ron. I'd just find allies based upon common agreement on the issues and work your way forward from there. In many places, we're just getting our people into minority rankings on these local parties as delegates. In better places, we've actually attained majority status delegations that can do the heavy lifting of getting local leadership roles and into higher level committee assignments up to the state level. Unfortunately, in areas that don't have a residual RP presence in the community based on C4L or something similar, the only way to develop a better group of delegates is to find local Paul supporters by whichever means one chooses and then do a delegate drive by signing up as many of them as possible. This is what many of our locals were doing in between the last 2 prez elections. We've signed up many hundreds in just one county and that has attributed to majority status in multiple districts and also steady increases in key areas of Kerry's CD 11. The more influence we can build in these areas over and above coalition building, the easier we'll be in making sure the establishment has a harder time driving a primary fight and also eroding their power at the same time.
Good on you guys for showing up, having 35-40% of the room isn't bad considering FL's overall track record. Keep working over people based on the issues and remind them of the guy (Rand) in DC that is standing up for their rights. Peel off another 10%, have everyone bring a friend, then presto next time.
