This war between the establishment and the Constitutional and limited government grassroots has been going on for decades. It took me about eight months to get into my local REC in Charlotte County. They finally kicked me out years later when I broke may ankle and didn't make it a priority to send an excused absence.

I encouraged about six of the strongest campaign workers that I have ever worked with in our county (with an average age 25 years younger than the controlling group) and the chairman at that time threw their paperwork out because they were "strangers." Now you have to have a sponsor and go through an interview process to get into the REC. I know of at least one couple that was denied membership.

I recently heard, the chairman just recently kicked a candidate out of an interview because he didn't like what that candidate had to say. Should an REC even be interviewing candidates during the primaries when there are two or more Republican candidates running?
