New York Precinct Committee Election

New York Precinct Committee Election

New Yorkers will elect precinct committeeman in many of the more than 16,000 precincts across the state at the New York Primary Election on June 26, 2012.

Well, that's not totally true, because as many as half of those precinct committee positions will remain vacant for lack of interest or lack of awareness.

Do you like the way your party is run in your county? In New York? Well, you can change that. But you have to get up off the couch and put yourself on the ballot.

This is another opportunity to achieve a center of power and it won't come around again for another two years.

Qualifications

Most importantly, you have to get on the ballot.

You must live within the precinct boundary.

You must be registered to vote (or 18 years old by the general election in November) and indicate a party affiliation for the party you want to represent. You can change party affiliation at the time you file.

I challenge you. Do you have what it takes to actually accomplish something of lasting effect? Or will you use one of your pat excuses? I've heard them all. (See The Power Is There for the Taking.)

To answer questions so that you can get yourself elected at your county caucus, Project City Hall will produce a live teleconference on March 22th (see below) to discuss strategy and answer your questions.

What:New York Precinct Committee Election Teleconference
When:Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 7:00 pm (Eastern)
Where:Your home or mobile telephone
Details:To receive teleconference call details, Sign up or text New York PC, {your name}, {your e-mail address} to (973)498-8066

How to Determine Your Precinct

  1. Go to the County Boards page.

Getting on the Ballot

When you have a plan, you don't have to guess what to do next. Written plans are always better than winging it. With that in mind, we've put together the Precinct Committee Candidate Checklist to give you a starting point for your plan.

For information about running for party positions, see Running for Office.

Petition circulation period begins March 20, 2012 and ends April 16, 2012. To get you petition form, download a Designating Petition Sec. 6-132, ELECTION LAW petition here, or get it from your County Boards.

  1. Call your county elections board and ask how many committeemen your precinct can elect.
  2. Ask for the names of each of the current committeeman and their contact information (e-mail address and telephone number).
  3. Ask how many people from the county voted at the previous primary election, and how many votes were cast for each committeeman on the ballot.
  4. Join other New Yorkers on the live teleconference call (see above) where you can ask questions.
  5. Prepare printed information about yourself so that you can quickly communicate the information to everyone you meet from your precinct.

Winning the Election

Winning a delegate position is a little challenging, unless no one is running against you. You can do it if you prepare in advance and have a plan. Many people are looking for leaders and will accept almost anyone who simply steps up to lead. Just look at your current set of elected officials for proof of that.

After the Election

  1. Get a current copy of your state party central committee by-laws and of your county party central committee by-laws along with the rules of the convention you are elected to.
  2. Keep in touch, because we'll be producing training teleconferences about all the aspects of being an effective caucus participant.

Who Should Attend?

  • Anyone who wants to take their country back.
  • Anyone who values freedom and liberty.
  • If you're already a precinct committeeman, attend to encourage others and to relate your own experience.

What You'll Learn

  • The power of the convention delegate.
  • What happens at a caucus.
  • Why you need to connect with like-minded individuals before the caucus.
  • Why you should bring your posse.
  • How to win in a competitive election.

Missouri Precinct Committee Election

Missouri Precinct Committee Election

Missourians will elect precinct committeeman in every one of more than 3500 precincts in every city and town across the state at the Missouri Primary Election on August 7, 2012.

Well, that's not totally true, because as many as half of those precinct committee positions will remain vacant for lack of interest or lack of awareness.

Do you like the way your party is run in your county? In Missouri? Well, you can change that. But you have to get up off the couch and put yourself on the ballot.

This is another opportunity to achieve a center of power and it won't come around again for another two years.

Missouri County Caucus

Qualifications

You must live within the county boundary.

You must be registered to vote (or 18 years old by the general election in November) and indicate a party affiliation for the party you want to represent. You can change party affiliation right at the caucus

I challenge you. Do you have what it takes to actually accomplish something of lasting effect? Or will you use one of your pat excuses? I've heard them all. (See The Power Is There for the Taking.)

Details:To receive teleconference call details, Sign up or text Missouri PC, {your name}, {your e-mail address} to (973)498-8066

Robert's Rules of Order

For the Missouri County Caucus Teleconference, we will be discussing Robert's Rules of Order. Here is a link to the Motion Chart which will be the reference for the discussion.

We're not going to go over the whole motion chart, but you should print it out and bring it with you to any meeting, caucus, or convention that you attend. The call will take the view of the minority and show you how to get your delegates elected or at least make sure that you don't get run over. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say.

How to Determine Your Caucus Location

  1. Go to the Missouri Republican Party 2012 County Caucuses.

Preparing for the Caucus

When you have a plan, you don't have to guess what to do next. Written plans are always better than winging it. With that in mind, we've put together the Precinct Committee Candidate Checklist to give you a starting point for your plan.

  1. Call your county central committee and ask how many delegates your county can elect.
  2. Ask for the names of each of the current delegates and their contact information (e-mail address and telephone number).
  3. Ask how many people from the county voted at the previous caucus, and how many votes were cast for each nominated delegate on the ballot.
  4. Join other Missourians on the live teleconference call (see above) where you can ask questions.
  5. Prepare printed information about yourself so that you can quickly communicate the information to everyone you meet from your county.
  6. Prepare printed information about any party platform ideas that you have.

At your caucus, you have an opportunity to present planks for your party platform for approval by the caucus. If you need help writing a plank, submit your plank idea in the comment area (below). We'll use part of the question and answer period to help you refine your plank to increase that likelihood that the caucus will pass it.

Winning the Election

Winning a delegate position is a little challenging, unless no one is running against you. You can do it if you prepare in advance and have a plan. Many people are looking for leaders and will accept almost anyone who simply steps up to lead. Just look at your current set of elected officials for proof of that.

Utah Precinct Caucus

Utah Precinct Caucus

Utahans will elect delegates to the county convention, delegates to the state convention, and precinct officers (committeemen) at the Utah Precinct Caucuses on March 15, 2012.

This is another opportunity to achieve a center of power and it won't come around again for another two years.

Qualifications

Most importantly, you have to show up at the caucus.

You must live within the precinct boundary.

You must be registered to vote (or 18 years old) and indicate a party affiliation for the party you want to represent. You can change party affiliation at the caucus.

I challenge you. Do you have what it takes to actually accomplish something of lasting effect? Or will you use one of your pat excuses? I've heard them all. (See The Power Is There for the Taking.)

To answer questions so that you can get yourself elected at your precinct caucus, Project City Hall will produce a live teleconference on March 14th to discuss strategy and answer your questions.

What:Utah Precinct Caucus Teleconference
When:Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 7:00 pm (Mountain)
Where:Your home or mobile telephone
Details:To receive teleconference call details, Sign up or text Utah PC, {your name}, {your e-mail address} to (973)498-8066

How to Determine Your Precinct / Caucus Location

  1. Go to the Utah Republican Party Caucus Finder and enter your name, and birth date.

Preparing for the Caucus

When you have a plan, you don't have to guess what to do next. Written plans are always better than winging it. With that in mind, we've put together the Precinct Committee Candidate Checklist to give you a starting point for your plan.

  1. Call your county central committee and ask how many precinct committeemen your precinct can elect.
  2. Ask for the names of each of the current precinct leaders and their contact information (e-mail address and telephone number).
  3. Ask if a precinct committeeman was elected in the previous election cycle, how many people from the precinct voted at the caucus, and how many votes were cast for each nominated precinct committeemen on the ballot.
  4. Join other Utahans on the live teleconference call (see above) where you can ask questions.
  5. Prepare printed information about yourself so that you can quickly communicate the information to everyone you meet (your neighbors) from your precinct.
  6. Prepare printed information about any party platform ideas that you have.

Winning the Election

Winning a precinct election is easy, even with someone running against you, which is rare. You can do it if you prepare in advance and have a plan. Many people are looking for leaders and will accept almost anyone who simply steps up to lead. Just look at your current set of elected officials for proof of that.

After the Election

  1. Get a current copy of your state party committee by-laws and of your county party central committee by-laws.
  2. Find out from the out-going county party central committee when the organizational meeting is scheduled to elect new officers.
  3. Keep in touch, because we'll be producing training teleconferences about all the aspects of being an effective precinct committeeman.

Who Should Attend?

  • Anyone who wants to take their country back.
  • Anyone who values freedom and liberty.
  • If you're already a precinct committeeman, attend to encourage others and to relate your own experience.

What You'll Learn

  • The power of the central committee member.
  • What happens at a caucus.
  • Why you need to connect with like-minded individuals before the caucus.
  • Why you should bring your posse.
  • How to win in a competitive election.
