| Description | Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Matt Strawn today issued the following statement regarding the State of Florida’s continued unwillingness to comply with the Republican National Committee’s rules governing the 2012 presidential nominating process. The statement follows a letter sent by South Carolina Chairmwoman Karen Floyd to RNC Committee Members requesting the RNC to consider moving the convention should Florida fail to comply with the rules. The rules, approved by over two-thirds of RNC members, require Florida to hold its presidential primary no earlier than March 1, 2012. To date, Florida has failed to comply with these RNC rules.
“The contempt that Florida legislators hold not only for the RNC 2012 rules, but also for the RNC members who approved these rules, is astonishing. To reward this arrogance with our national convention is a great disservice to the Republican activists, donors and elected officials nationwide who support the RNC. |
