Ten minutes of political strategy for your consideration. The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy is not hard and helps build “Republican communities.” And, in my humble opinion, this is the ONLY way for conservatives to take back our country because we must first take back our Republican Party — which just happens to be there for the taking (because one-half of the existing basic, local, voting-member | Read More »
They actually hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, it was buried about fifty pages in the report. Here’s some of it. We need a lot more of the Evelyn McPhail grassroots approach to politics. As the committee was told by a participant during a listening session in North Carolina, “Make the precinct captain the most important person in a 51 Growth & Opportunity Project | Read More »
This may upset some of the conservative “rock stars.” I cringe in fear. You know them. They have radio gigs. They go to CPAC and give speeches. They go to events hosted by Glenn Beck and AFP and FreedomWorks and give speeches. I’ve been there and I’ve met them. And they mean well, maybe, but my sense is they all want to do is to | Read More »

Do you know the percentage turnout for Republicans in your precinct, local district, and county? Did you help turnout the vote where you live? Did you make any phone calls?

To ask the question is to answer it. Of course we conservatives ought to help “nudge” more of our voters to the polls. I keep waiting for instruction from the old-timers here at RS, about all this nitty-gritty, precinct level, stuff, but those instructions never come. But I understand why. Can’t instruct about what you’ve never experienced. So, HOW will YOU help GOTV (Get Out | Read More »

Cross-posted at UnifiedPatriots.com Curiously, the Huffington Post reported on the shooting, republishing an AP report. As you’ll see, a man with a “gun” (the crack AP investigative reporters were apparently unable to discover what kind of gun it was or deemed that unimportant) drove into a church parking lot, crashed into another vehicle, and as people came to his aid, started shooting at them. He | Read More »
It seems so. Seems he was saying in his majority opinion that it wasn’t his fault that the American people who bothered to vote in 2008 were dumb enough to elect Barack Hussein Obama and all those Democrats to the House and Senate. And it wasn’t his fault that 4 million conservative Republicans in the 2008 general election decided to not vote for John McCain | Read More »
Sorry to ask such a rude question. But, seriously, what will preaching to the “conservative choir,” whether it’s among your conservative friends, or on talk radio, cause more Republican-leaning voters to actually vote? Here’s how I explained to another PC in my district how we Got Out The Vote in our city election in my precinct and how, if the Republican candidates we supported had | Read More »
Sunday, May 6, 2012 In some states, the Republican Party allows virtually anyone (who might have to sign a pledge to support Republican candidates) to attend their presidential election year caucus meetings where delegates to the state convention are elected to attend the state convention. Those delegates, in turn, then elect the delegates to the national convention (not all of them, but most of them). | Read More »
Cross-posted at UnifiedPatriots.com April 20, 2012 I was blessed to be invited to attend as a guest today’s Republican National Committee meetings in Scottsdale, Arizona. As a precinct committeeman and elected At Large member of the Maricopa County Republican Committee, I asked our Arizona GOP Chairman, Tom Morrissey, our national committeeman Bruce Ash, and our national committeeman Sharon Giese, for an invitation. They graciously invited | Read More »
Cross-posted at UnifiedPatriots.com No matter whom the Republican presidential nominee turns out to be, we conservatives need to make sure he wins. How best to do that? How best to actually help get out the vote? And make sure fraudulent votes are not cast? To help our Republican candidates win in the 2012 election cycle, I believe we conservatives need to do three things. The | Read More »

Why? Because almost all of the new precinct committeemen are conservatives. Here’s how to do it. Give the following message to grass roots conservatives groups where you live.

Indeed, if our nominee can stay “on message” on these issues, and corresponding numbers, and if we can make sure every good, decent American eligible to vote actually votes this time, I don’t see how our nominee can lose.

Cross-posted at Unified Patriots. I know many of you conservatives who have registered as Republican Party voters don’t believe I have any core conservative beliefs and believe I advocated for a federal individual mandate that all Americans buy health insurance or go to jail. I didn’t. And I don’t. But here’s what I do know. And do advocate. Now. First, we conservative Americans have to | Read More »
You know, I am a very patient person and I not only ran for office and got elected to office, but I have been encouraging conservative activists for a number of years to get involved in politics, at precincts and beyond. But I do hope if I ever got as obnoxiously self aggrandizing as this whole farce of a diary reads, someone would take me | Read More »
Do you want the Ron Paul followers to fill up all the vacancies inside the Party at the precinct level? Well, stopping that from happening means conservatives must figure out what’s necessary to fill those vacancies and then show up to fill them. According to this article, in Maine, Nevada and Iowa, sufficient numbers of Ron Paul fans have shown up when, and how, necessary | Read More »
LadyImpactOhio was fortunate to snag Herman Cain on his bus at CPAC 2012 for a just over six minute video interview on the following four topics, including one I particularly liked: Advice he could offer the remaining candidates regarding what to expect from, and how to handle, the Obama Media. Mr. Cain’s opinions as to which issues are the most critical we face as a | Read More »
Cross-posted at UnifiedPatriots.com Many words have been typed lately about whether the “Republican Establishment” (“RE”) has been cramming a particular candidate down the throats of the “conservative base” of “the Republican Party.” Some have made the obvious, good point that the RE cannot cast the votes that result in, for example, Mitt Romney winning the Republican primaries and caucuses. Rather, obviously, the voters who bother | Read More »
Cross-posted at UnifiedPatriots.com Here in Arizona, it’s easy to become a “voting member” of the Republican Party — a precinct committeeman.

Are you a Republican Party member? No, I’m not asking if you are a registered Republican in your state. I’m asking if you are a voting member of the Republican Party.

One Michigan conservative Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, Peter Konetchy, has a strategy for both garnering real support for his campaign and for changing the MI Republican Party. And, he has made this strategy an open part of his campaign.
