supporter Charlie Crist. A straw poll conducted today in Crist's home county has Rubio with twice the votes as Crist, but really there is a story behind the story here. I am not aware of how much you the readers know about Florida politics, but tea party supporters have successfully taken over the Republican party infrastructure at the local levels. They have pushed for and achieved the ouster of the State Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer who was a longtime friend and supporter of Crist. On top of that, the big money donors who had promised to back Crist have withdrawn their support and endorsed Rubio. Small groups such as DC works for us, which I am now a member have achieved this insurrection by encouraging members to volunteer to become Republican committee members. Doing so is simply a matter of volunteering and gives you a say in what candidates do and don't get support from the Republican Party. This was first done successfully in Nevada and is in the process of being done in several other states. Once the district committees were in the hands of grassroots pro-liberty folks, pressure was then put on Greer and others to step down. A group of very prominent Republican donors have also "circled the wagons" in support of these actions. I have not spoken on this issue here until now as the goal was to keep it quiet so RINO or liberal opposition didn't get the idea to take similar actions. You can see for yourself here:http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/story/1417783.html "Party leaders sought to portray the chasm between conservatives and moderates as a healthy debate that will ultimately strengthen the party. Peter Feaman, GOP committeeman from Palm Beach County, read aloud a formal resolution urging the party to bring anti-Obama ``tea party'' activists into the Republican fold."
The grassroots movements such as tea party supporters were handed a huge momentum shift in their favor when Crist (RINO) FL misled the media and voters regarding a visit by mr. obama in Jacksonville. Crist claimed he did not know about obama's visit. Yet, e-mails revealed a very different story, on top of the fact that Crist was invited and one of his aides refused the invitation...."Gov. Charlie Crist's aides knew of Obama trip to Florida" from the Miami Herald, 11/11/09 stated:
"The Republican Crist is running for the U.S. Senate, and has drawn scrutiny for distancing
himself from Obama. The two appeared together in Fort Myers in February to celebrate the stimulus package -- an appearance that has become a liability for Crist as he faces primary challenger Marco Rubio. Crist now says he did not endorse the stimulus, even as he said it
helped bail out the state budget. When reporters in Tallahassee asked Crist whether he knew Obama was in Jacksonville, he replied: ``First I've known of that.'' E-mails obtained by The St. Petersburg Times through a public records request show Crist's office was aware of the visit, and it seems unlikely his aide would have dismissed Crist going to Jacksonville without checking with Crist. Crist's office refused to comment further Tuesday."
This is how you can impact state and national politics beginning at the local level and working your way up. The Republican infrastructure is now receiving a good and needed house cleaning originating from your average tea party and other grassroots organizations that meet and work within their districts at the local level. DC works for Us had affiliated groups have a good plan which is worked to perfection in Nevada (meaning we should get a good candidate to run against Harry "the clansman" Reid). Rubio will be speaking at a local DC works for US in the very near future and I will be in attendance. Supposedly reps from the Crist campaign will do the same. I hope some of you can work with similar groups in your respective states so that we get real supporters of the right change in DC. I know that in Texas, such actions are being taken within the Democrat party as there are two very well funded RINOs in the Republican party so there is no room in the primary for a pro liberty candidate for governor. It does not matter to me what party the grassroots "tea party" insurrection happens in, just as long as the voters get a real choice between pro-liberty and anti-liberty (progressive) candidates. I actually still stand by my hope that a few independents get elected to the national House and Senate to truly scare both parties into representing the American people. In Florida, the best plan is the one that is being implemented which is hijacking the Republican party and driving the RINOs out. As far as those of you in other States and how you handle your internal politics, I would be a hypocrite if I claimed to be a "States rights" advocate and did not feel that those of you in each state should evaluate your own situation and take whatever action is in the best interest of your State.
