The National Federation of Republican Assemblies is a grassroots movement to take back the Republican Party for the vast and disenfranchised majority of its members: Reagan conservatives, who believe in small government, lower taxes, free market capitalism, a strong defense, the right to life, and a decent America. Founded in California in the 1930s and dubbed by some “the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party”, Republican Assemblies actively engage in party primaries — endorsing, recruiting and supporting candidates — and provide genuine grassroots muscle each November, as well as in the legislative sessions and special elections in between.

Rod D. Martin served on the NFRA's board from 1999 to 2015, as a Regional Vice President, General Counsel, Executive Vice President, and as President from 2007-2013. He has also served as the organization's National Advisory Board Chairman. Sherri Martin served six terms as a national board member for Florida, and as an officer of the Florida Republican Assembly.
