Dinerstein, Republican chiefs tell party boss to back off

by Michael C. Bender | November 5th, 2009

Palm Beach County Republican Chairman Sid Dinerstein joined with 16 other party leaders, including the party head in Gov. Charlie Crist’s home county, telling state party Chairman Jim Greer to “cease and desist your interference in Republican primaries.”

The also called for the resignation of political consultant Rich Heffley for his role in this controversy.

From the letter:

Chairman, you have a choice to make. Are you goign to lead the broad and inclusive coalition that makes up our party and its supporters to victory or are you simply going to use your power as Chairman to impose your choice of who should become the Republican nominee for the United States Senate and violate every tenet of our Party?

We, the undersigned, hope it is the former.

Here’s Greer’s response.
