Doral, Florida – Florida grassroots conservatives are rallying in Venice, Sarasota County, on Saturday, July 26, for the Reclaim Campaign. See more here. This grassroots effort has sent tremors through the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), which recently issued two warning emails to Republican Executive Committees (REC’s) across the state, urging them not to associate with the Reclaim Campaign.
Unity, Schmunity

The establishment’s first appeal is to party “unity.” But as Samuel Johnson might have put it, appeals to unity are the refuge of scoundrels. The last time your correspondent attended an REC meeting, the Chairman called for unity, and a clergyman prayed for it. Yet when the meeting addressed the REC’s violation of state law—namely, its refusal to publish its membership list—the Vice Chairman led a coordinated walkout to eliminate the quorum and shut down debate. These aren’t the tactics of principled Republicans; they’re more akin to the Bolsheviks or old-school Chicago Democrats. See: “Tammany Hall in the Tropics.”

The RPOF claims to welcome “robust debate,” but their actions tell a different story. Their warning emails denounce “associations with organizations that seek to monitor or regulate political campaigns outside the framework of the Republican Party.” In other words, if you're not toeing the party line, you’re a threat.

Cause Over Party

The RPOF demands “loyalty to the Republican Party.” But loyalty to what, exactly? Their rhetoric insists on supporting the party’s “principles, objectives, and platforms”—but those remain undefined or, worse, actively contradicted by party behavior. What does the GOP really stand for if:

1. It collaborates with progressive forces to suppress conservative reforms—especially regarding election integrity, development policy and energy mandates?
2. It turns a blind eye to election theft—not just in 2020, but as far back as 1960?
3. It disbands REC’s when their establishment allies lose leadership elections, as happened in Manatee County?

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of the Great State of Texas frames it best:

1. He is first a Christian;
2. Then a conservative;
3. Only then a Republican—if the party aligns with his first two convictions.

When the party fails to deliver on its stated mission, it must be reformed or opposed. Political parties are tools to achieve policy goals—not ends in themselves. Only career politicians, who view politics as a business, treat the party as an end in itself. Those politicians care more for power and perks than for principle or policy.

What Is Republican Politics?

The RPOF says it is offended by “external pressure and public criticism” of Republican candidates. Are grassroots conservatives not allowed to speak out? Are we not permitted to influence party dynamics from the outside? But that’s exactly what politics is. The word “republican” comes from the Latin res publica—things of the people. “Politics” comes from the Greek polis—the city, the public space.
We, the free citizens of this republic, must act as watchdogs—not lapdogs—for our leaders.

One Church, Many Denominations

Religious freedom flourishes where multiple denominations compete, and political freedom works the same way. Spain, with its centralized Catholic orthodoxy and the repression of the Inquisition, stifled both religious and political freedom from the 15th century onward. In contrast, America’s religious diversity—from Anglicans to evangelicals to Jews—has bolstered our liberty.
So it should be in politics. The Republican Party should welcome ideological diversity and grassroots groups such as:
• Republican Liberty Caucus,
• Republican Assemblies,
• Defend Florida and its Reclaim Campaign.

Instead, the RPOF fears debate and competition. Nowhere is this more obvious than in its resistance to election reform. It defends Vote-by-Mail despite serious flaws: no ID requirement, no secure chain of custody, and subjective signature verification. If that's “integrity,” the bar is buried underground.
Because of this resistance to change, the America First Party has been launched in Florida. It may take such a third party to restore true accountability in state politics.

Reclaiming the Precincts

The Reclaim Campaign aims to return political power to the people—not lobbyists, consultants, or lifelong insiders. Inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s precinct strategy, the movement trains grassroots conservatives to:
1. Raise early funds;
2. Recruit principled candidates;
3. Expand their political footprint.
Groups in South Carolina, Pennsylvania and elsewhere are joining forces with the Reclaim Campaign in Florida to share strategies and build momentum.

Don’t Tread on Me

The Reclaim Campaign is not about disloyalty—it’s about accountability. It’s about restoring a party that has lost its way. Grassroots conservatives have every right—and every reason—to take back the reins. Let the RPOF fear reform. We welcome it.
