The Precinct Project

[Grames]

At The Precinct Project Blog I found out that many republican party leadership positions are available due to apathy. Merely showing up can have a profound effect on that party's selection of candidates to put up for office. The positions in questions are usually called precinct committeeman or precinct associate. The blog is relatively new and has a short post history, but has general instructions for all states and particular information for the following states:

California – Rules re becoming a Precinct Associate!

Florida – Escambia County GOP Explains the Office of Precinct Committeeman

Georgia – Laurens County GOP Rules re Precinct Committeeman in 2003

Idaho – Conservative Precinct Committeemen Recruitment in Idaho!

Illinois – Conservative Precinct Committeeman Recruitment in Illinois!

Illinois – Republican Renaissance Precinct Committeeman Project in Illinois

New York – The Primary Challenge: PC recruitment in New York State

Oregon – Some information for Oregonians re becoming a Precinct Committeeman

South Carolina – How it works in per the Charleston County GOP

If you don't show up, the social climbers and conservatives win by default. It would also be helpful if you could learn how to be (in Ayn Rand's phrase) "an intransigent atheist but not a militant one." Even some conservatives should be able to see how the political principle of human rights is taller, stouter tentpole for a successful political party than religion. The republican party has its origins in abolitionism, it should return to that principle.
