MEMBER DIARY

2101 of 3500 of 75,000 denied Bob Bennett

In the end, 2,101 registered Republicans (60 per cent plus 1 of the 3,500 delegates at the nominating convention) decided whether incumbent Republican Sen. Bob Bennett would enjoy the privilege of a chance to be elected on the primary or general election ballot. It’s been reported in the press by one of the Utah Republican Party nominating convention delegates that about 75,000 registered Republicans bothered to attend the Party caucuses to elect the nominating convention delegates.

It was these registered Republicans who bothered to go to a caucus, not bloggers, not political pundits, not the other registered Utah Republican voters, who set the wheels in motion. The Utah version of The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy decided the outcome — and in the end only 2,101 registered Republicans, who by going to their local caucus had the privilege to attend the nominating convention, and followed through by actually attending, made the difference.

Bravo to those conservatives who were among the 75,000 who got involved! Bravo to those grass roots conservatives in Utah who figured out where the real political power lies — INSIDE the Republican Party!

Bravo to the rest of you conservative Republican precinct committeemen around the country!

See what can happen when conservatives UNITE? Where it matters? Inside the Republican Party?

For Liberty,
ColdWarrior, 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!

American first, conservative second, Republican precinct committeeman BY NECESSITY!

    I help facilitate a Tea Party and attend several other TPs. I am a GOP PC and recruit other PC’s. I am running for the high school governing board and recruiting others to run. I will run in December for GOP District Chair in my county. I facilitated the rewrite of our PC manual and training materials which is just about completed. I am trying to work with an existing GOP group to setup a conservative caucus for our PCs. I don’t say these things to give myself a pat on the back and I do not due them because I am Superman. I’m doing them because they need to be done and there are not enough doers and too many keyboard warriors out there. We have over 200 “members” on our TP site of which 30~45 make it to the meetings. Of those we can get ~20 to be active outside the meetings (PCs, candidates, block walking, etc.), helping with the meetings, attending GOP functions, etc.

    Folks, CW is right. This war is not fought and won on blogs or by who types the best. It is won by being active in politics. You want change? GO MAKE IT HAPPEN! If you do not get off your duffs nothing good will happen. Between Redstate, Resistnet, TP sites, Smart Girl Politics, etc. we have many times over enough people to absolutely take control of the GOP. Where are you and what in God’s name are you doing? We need feet on the ground not fingers on the keyboard. CW has recruited more PCs than anyone I know. He sold me in one meeting and I’ve been running as fast and hard as I can ever since. How about some help? How aboyut less typing and more doing?

    A big shout out to the GOPC’ s( Grand Old Precinct Committeemen) iin Utah. And thanks to Cold Warrior for sounding the call to become PC’s. When we the people DO, what we the people do, we all become change agents. The only way to Take Back our Party and Country. Let’s all become Superrmen and Superwomen (PC’s ) and stand fior TRUTH. JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY. I can hear the music now…LOL

    that somehow this seat was Bennetts. When will the DC crowd and the Corrupt Media learn once and for all that these are not kings and queens they are ELECTED officials who come up for RE-ELECTION and if the Country is FAILING they will VOTE THEM OUT! It is not a plot, it is not a takeover, it is WE The People being heard at the ballot box!

      It’s time we reminded some of those people what the word Republic means and shows them who is the boss. We pay their check and *all* their authority comes from We the People.

      If they don’t live up to their jobs, as representatives of the people and caretakers of our gov’t, We the People will fire their skinny @$$e$ and get someone else.

      ears with that idea on Sunday.

      Juan was telling all about what a good, strong conservative bob Bennett is, and bemoaning his loss. Krystol slapped him good, figuratively speaking.

      Every time somebody like Williams claims these changes indicate intolerance among Republicans, he needs to be shown that they really indicate tolerance and diversity–for the conservatives who’ve been shut out of the process and ignored for so long.

      Cold Warrior is on the money.

    you have until May 26 to submit the two pieces of paper needed to get onto the primary election ballot.

    An appointed PC in Tucson has created a step-by-step online interactive video that shows you how to do it. It’s not hard. And, I highly recommend you get in contact with your county GOP committee immediately if you want to meet this May 26 deadline. The maximum number of signatures you need to get from Republican or independent voters in your precinct is ten.

    If you’re in Arizona and you want to get into the real ball game of politics, then go to the following link and read the short overview. Near the end will be a link to the video.

    Conservatives, UNITE! CHANGE the Republican Party and save the world by UNITING INSIDE the Party as precinct committeemen. NOW! (Hint: the grass roots conservatives in Utah figured out that by UNITING INSIDE the Utah Republican Party in sufficient numbers they could oust a RINO incumbent U.S. senator.)

    Bennett is only the beginning of the wave.
