RPOF Chairman Dave Bitner – Join Us
Republican Party of Florida Chairman Dave Bitner is a longtime Floridian, a lifelong Republican, a small business owner and a former member of the Florida Legislature. In 1992, Dave was elected by the people of District 71 to serve in the Florida House of Representatives. Dave served eight years in the Florida Legislature and never asked for one earmark, returning taxpayer dollars to the state from his office every quarter.
Dave earned a reputation as a hard-working, common sense conservative. Dave helped the Republican Party gain the majority in the Florida House under Speakers Webster and Thrasher, then under Governor Jeb Bush.
Elected as RPOF Chairman in January 2011, Dave started as a precinct committeeman and currently serves as a state committeeman for Jefferson County. Dave and his wife Wendy have walked door-to-door for hundreds of state and local Republican candidates over the last 18 years, from Pensacola to Key West.
As an owner of the Charlotte Sun-Herald, Dave built a small business from the ground up and saw firsthand the need to cut government red tape and fight for the lower taxes on small businesses and families

Tea Party: The Documentary Film
JOIN RCPB for the Florida Premiere of Tea Party: The Documentary Film
“Tea Party: The Documentary Film” follows the struggles of five grass roots individuals and their transformation from home town rally goers and rally organizers to national activists in the 912 March on Washington. It traces the movement back to the establishment of a Twitter network in mid 2008 that brought together a group of concerned conservatives by social networking tools.
These groups inspired hundreds of off shoots around the country as news spread about TARP, increased nationalization of industries like housing and banking and additional stimulus bills were passed. In the process, the film reveals what is at the heart of this nationwide surge of civic engagement – a return to and respect for a Constitutionally-limited government, personal responsibility and fiscal restraint at the Federal level.
When: Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Time: 7:00pm
Where: Muvico Parisian – City Place, Rosemary Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL
Donation: $10.00 per person

Letter To Editor: Term Limits
Published: Palm Beach Post
Term Limits continues to be debated, even after an overwhelming public support with our County Commission and WPB Mayor by public vote.
Term limits have been placed on 15 state legislatures, eight of the ten largest cities in America adopted term limits for their city councils and/or mayor, and 37 states place term limits on their constitutional officers.
American politicians, special interests and lobbyists continue to combat term limits, as they know term limits force out career politicians who are more concerned with their own gain than the interests of the American people.
I want to keep the pressure on the movement to preserve West Palm Beach Term Limits. Charter review, sure… Term Limit modification – no thanks!
