information every site that professes to want good, decent, conservative Americans to get into the fight to actually take back America from the progressive leftists, rather than just talking and reading about it, ought to have.

For example, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I finally got this information onto the Arizona GOP site (I provided them the content and told them they could use it):

http://www.azgop.org/site/c.qtK2KeMSKuG/b.5810129/k.292E/Become_a_Precinct_Committeeman.htm

Then, on their own, the AZ GOP added at the bottom of that page this fantastically very well done interactive web tutorial by a fellow named Ted Pyzdek. Ted became an appointed PC in the past year and knew how to create web tutorials. He knew he’d eventually have to become an elected precinct committeeman. So he figured out the rules and, on his own, developed the tutorial. Then offered it to the Pima County GOP (he’s in Tucson in Pima County) and also to the Arizona GOP. Didn’t cost the GOP a cent. This is exactly the kind of thing EVERY state should have, and which the RNC ought to be encouraging every state GOP committee create. Ted decided, on his own, to create something that the Party desperately needed. He wasn’t going to wait for the Party to provide it. Bravo, Ted!

I’ve linked Ted’s tutorial on my little blog, of course.

Here’s the link:

Again, in my humble opinion, the time ACTION is now. POLITICAL action. INSIDE a political party. “Ours” is the Republican Party. Still, HALF the precinct committeemen slots are in need of a warm, conservative body. If we conservatives would get ourselves to the local GOP committee meetings every month in sufficient numbers to become actual “card carrying” members of the Party, eligible to vote in the Party leadership elections, (and we HAVE the numbers — the tea parties and town hall meetings made that abundantly clear) we’d be able to change the leadership of the Party and UNITE in effective ways to change the outcome of the Republican primary elections (ask Bob Bennett).

This is what we need to be focusing on: good old American basic civic duty: participation in party politics INSIDE a political party.

Survey the Republican state and county web sites. I have. Very little of this kind of information exists. Why? They don’t the great “unwashed masses” to come into the Party and upset their little fiefdoms. But they’ll ask for your money. Always for your money. And your time and labor to make phone calls, put up signs, etc. But they’ll almost never tell you how to become a voting member of the Party giving you the power to elect new Party leaders.

Survey the “activist” sites. Very few have this kind of information. Not sure why. Maybe it doesn’t fit their business model (selling books, doing bus tours, booking for-fee speaking engagements, raising money, etc.) Telling people to go INTO the Republican Party means they may not come back to your web site.

Maybe they just don’t know it. I’ve written about the “Conservative Grievance Industry.” One example, Laura Ingraham’s “Power to the People.” Not a word in it about how to become a precinct committeeman or why it would be important to do so. I think she just doesn’t know this nitty-gritty stuff. I heard her on the radio a few months ago talking to a Virginia Republican running to get the nomination to appear on the ballot for the U.S. Senate seat. She asked at the end of the interview what the next steps for him would be in his campaign. He replied he needed to get elected as many delegates as possible who would vote for him. (The Virginia GOP has a system similar to Utah’s, whereby Party delegates to a nominating convention can choose the Party’s nominee for the senate seat). Long pregnant pause. Finally, Ingraham said, “What’s a delegate?” She didn’t know.

I simply believe that we’ve got limited time. We’ve got to unite. As soon as possible. Politically. We need to strengthen the BEST political tool we have to defeat the progressives. That political tool is, not surprisingly, the Republican Party. It was at half strength nationwide in 2008 with too few conservatives in it. If we conservatives will UNITE INSIDE it we will be in a position to accomplish some fundamental goals. First, we will be united. Second, we will have greatly strengthened our Party, both in terms of sheer numbers of participants and in terms increasing the number of conservatives inside the Party, leading to better leadership and better articulations outwardly by Party leaders of our conservative, Republican principles.

For Liberty,
Cold Warrior, PC (that?s ?precinct committeeman,? not ?political child!?)
Conservatives, UNITE! CHANGE the Republican Party and save the world by UNITING INSIDE the Party as precinct committeemen. NOW!
