FreedomWorks Statement on Changes to Rules 12 and 15 at the Republican National Convention

Washington, DC- FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe issued the following statement today in response to changes to Rules 12 and 15 by the RNC:

“I believe that the Republican party has made a huge mistake by effectively disenfranchising grassroots activists who want to be a part of the party process. If the party sincerely wants the support of citizens, shutting them out of the process is not the way to do it. Sooner rather than later the Republican establishment needs to come to terms with the decentralized nature of grassroots organization circa 2012. The terms of engagement can no longer be dictated from the top-down.”
