It is time to call them to task and non-establishment Republicans need to wake up. We have legislature folks like Vern Buchanan who don't embrace Republican values but he has people fooled. He is establishment and how it benefits him. He won't take calls from the people he represents unless you are a big donor. This trickles down into our RECs. For instance, we have establishment republicans who have served on the county commission & School boards for many terms but are pure democrats and embrace their agenda. They can't get elected on that side but saddle up to the republicans and when called out attack their opponents with lies. When called out on the lies there are other Republicans who are specifically is the chair of the Manatee Rec that sticks up for the lies. Republicans have to clean house at the lowest levels first and work our way up. There is an urgency to get it done. We don't have a whole lot of time with the current administration doing much damage to our country. From our schools to local elections to national policies.

All true but when it's hard to find out who's running in the primaries, let alone what they believe in or if that translates into actions, how can you be an informed voter? I had to dig to find the new districts I'm in!

I'm working on the problem by creating a new website for Putnam REC. Here's the current link: https://putnam-republicans-9c54f3.ingress-erytho.ewp.live/ but hopefully soon it will be just putnamrepublicans.org
