June RLCCEF meeting draws 90 attendees; Tenth Amendement Resolution in bill drafting

More than 90 people attended last night’s Republican Liberty Caucus of Central East Florida June Meeting featuring guest speaker Will Pitts, State Chair of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida.

“This is more than twice the attendance we had last month, and proof positive that Americans will no longer sit idly by while our Constitution is trampled by short sighted politicians and special interest groups,” said Matt Nye, Chair of the RLCCEF. “Every single person at that meeting has a sincere desire to effect positive change, and that is exactly what we are going to do.”

State Chair Pitts focused on getting the Republican Party back to the basics of Constitutionally limited government and the enormity of the financial crisis we now face.

“Our national debt is now in excess of $10 trillion; we are fast approaching the point where all of the income generated by Federal income taxes will pay only for the interest on our debt,” Pitts said. “If our country is to have a future, the states must declare their sovereignty and refuse to participate in these federal spending programs.”

According to Nye, District 30 House Representative Ritch Workman’s office submitted a Tenth Amendment Resolution similar to the one passed in the state of Oklahoma to bill drafting at the end of last week. “Rep. Workman is both a personal friend and a friend of liberty, and the highest compliment I can pay him is that he submitted the resolution not because I asked him to, but because he thought it was the right thing to do,” Nye said.

“The Republican Liberty Caucus of Central East Florida (RLCCEF) represents Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, Saint Lucie and Okeechobee Counties,” Nye said. “The RLCCEF advocates individual rights, limited government, laissez faire capitalism and a strong national defense. We believe these are the proper positions of the Republican Party. I hope everyone reading this will join us at our next meeting on July 6th.”
