Campaign Theme/Vision for Precinct 682

As many of you are aware I am running for Republican Precinct Chair 682. In my previous post I have expressed to you that communication is a key tool for a Precinct Chair to be successful. This is so true, therefore while on vacation to Orlando, FL I realized even more that the voter needs to be represented properly at the grassroots level. As Ed Hubbard expressed in his last blog post the Precinct Chair is the root of the grass and without the root the grass cannot grow. At Disney the workers and behind the scene people are the same grassroots level I am referring to. The behind the scene people make the characters and shows come to life. Therefore, at the precinct level the voter is the root or behind the scene person, and we need the voter to make the Precinct Chair come to life, and the County Party needs the Precinct Chair to make the party come to life, and the State Party needs the County Party to make it come to life, and so on. As a result I have come up with a theme/vision for Precinct 682.

If I am elected I will be The VOICE of the voter, and The VOICE will express all ideas, issues, etc to the County Party and State Party. The VOICE will inform the voter of issues, ideas, etc., from the Party. So you might be wondering why is VOICE in all caps, well it is because The VOICE stands for something, and its meaning is as follows:
  • Voter - I will be the Voice of the Voter thru various resources, as the voter is the root of our grassroots movement. As the Voice I will also work to re-connect the voter with the party.

  • Oppose - I oppose any kind of tax, and spending that affects our pocket book. As Reagan said "Individual liberty depends upon keeping government under control." Taxes and Government spending threatens our liberty.

  • Inform - I pledge that for Precinct 682 to be the best precinct in Harris County the voters need to be informed, and I will put in place the proper systems to inform the voter of Precinct 682.

  • Communicate - The best way to inform the voter is by communicating to them the happening of the party and connecting them to the party and Republican candidates. Communication will come in many different forms, and will also help in recruiting volunteers for our grassroots movement.

  • Educate - We need to do a better job of educating our voters as to who the "true conservatives" are, and elect the "true conservatives" versus people paying lip service to the voter. We also need to educate the voter on issues and happenings within the party, and raise awareness as to how they can become involved.

As you can see my theme/vision for Precinct 682 is strongly focused on the root of the precinct and party, The Voter. The voter are the people who need to be engaged. If we engage the voter to become active, then we will bring the Republican Party to life again.

Please join me in re-connecting the voter to bring the party back to life so we can protect our liberty from an un-controlled government. Please elect me as Republican Precinct Chair 682.
