Created by a citizen who believes each conservative American’s top priority should be active engagement as a precinct committeeman in the political Party our Founders and Framers would be members of if they were alive now: The Republican Party. I am an American first, a conservative second and a Republican precinct committeeman by necessity to secure the Blessings of Liberty to myself and my posterity.

am a current precinct chair in a populous Texas county; we’re working on filling those empty precinct slots with the intent of making a dent by the ’10 primaries…
after all, this is how the christian coalition folks turned the party upside down in the late 80′s early 90′s…
audentes fortuna iuvat!
tired dog,
Thanks for all you are doing. And you’re exactly right about the history of the Party.
Thanks again.
Cold Warrior
Here in Bexar County we have got to have the laziest, most ineffective GOP in the state. Can’t get a listing of the Precinct Chairs for the Republican Party unless you pay $50. Can’t get even the correct information for your own Precinct Chair – I had to call the GOP office to find out the name of mine, and then ask for contact information. The telephone number had been disconnected and the person had no email. I checked the DNC website and they have online a listing of every Precinct and chair or vacancy. Here in Bexar Cty they are pushing to fill every vacancy, and for those precinct chairs who are still in office and ineffective, they are assigning “shadow chairs” to esssentially take over their duties. Precinct Chair has been identified by the Liberals as their foothold in the grassroots organizing within each community. Bexar Cty needs to replace the County Chair and the Dir of GOP ASAP!!!
Bonnie,
“You the people” who are conservative in Bexar County have to organize, organize, organize and take over the Republican Party. If you don’t try, nothing will change; indeed, things will get worse.
Thank you.

Let me echo Tired Too’s lament. I live in Manatee County, Florida (Bradenton/Sarasota area)and the Dem’s web site nukes the Republican’s. It seems to be an “Ode to How Great We Art”, instead of a useful organizing tool. They have a “Join Now” tab that takes you to a sign up sheet to join the Executive Committee. I submitted my information last Wednesday or Thursday – haven’t heard anything. More important than my need for instant gratification, though, is as Tired Too said – the Dem’s web site has all kinds of information on precincts and precinct committeemen. It’s going to be an uphill battle, folks, but we have to start somewhere. I want to thank Cold Warrior for pointing me in the (hopefully) right direction. So many times I’ve read invigorating blog posts just to wonder “OK, what’s next? How do we do something about it?” I was trying like the devil to get to Washington on the 12th – my wife and I wound up going to Lakeland, FL for the 912 Project/Tea Party rally. Now I have something to talk to those folks about when I go to the next one. Tired Dog – what happened to all the CC folks who got involved in the ’80′s and ’90′s? GOPitis?
looks like TN doesn’t have precinct committeemen..all my online research coming up emtpy… any ideas?
JAKE, I AM TOO IN TN. AND OUR COUNTY IS BROKEN UP INTO DISTRICTS. COMMITTEEMEN ARE ELECTED FOR EACH OF YOUR DISTRICTS. WE DO HAVE VOTING PRECINCTS, BUT I BELIEVE THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE DISTRICTS. I AM GOING TO JOIN OUR COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY (I AM CURRENTLY INDEPENDENT, BUT I WILL SWITCH SO I CAN PARTICIPATE) AND THEN TRY TO BECOME ONE OF THEIR PC’s. BEST OF LUCK IN THIS GOOD OL’ BOY STATE OF OURS.
I live in Phoenix, Maricopa County. I just became a precinct committeeman. It was easy. The GOP here is looking to fill all the vacant spots here so we can ensure Republicans get elected.
In addition, we are trying to take over the RINO coalition in the party. Too many of the so called Republicans are way to moderate.
Last election cycle, the party had a very small turnout. If we can get enough people involved, not only will the party win but we’ll get ‘true’ conservatives elected.
Hey Mike – good going… unfortunately in our state/county (TN) they only elect committemen every two years and the next one is 2011 – but we will be ready for that one…
Actually, it works like that in Arizona, too. However, registered Republicans can apply to become “appointed” in the interim. But, they won’t be able to vote in the internal party leadership and candidate endorsement elections until they have actually been elected in the 2010 primary or general elections (most precinct committeeman candidates will run opposed in the primary election). The main thing, no matter what state you live in, is to volunteer NOW. Then start attending the monthly meetings religiously and meet as many conservatives as you can at those meetings. Drag as many conservatives to those meetings as you can. The GOAL is to get conservatives involved in the actual process that matters — Republican Party Politics.
Thank you,
Cold Warrior
Hoping I may be of some help to get your information out to the public. I am one citizen starting a newspaper for the 912 movement or others who are fighting to keep America free. I think a Newspaper for our cause will reasch another layer of Americans who are frustrated with no outlet.Putting out 5000 or more newspapers the first of every month has to make a difference. We can show them where they can be of service. My email is theconcernedcitizen@yahoo.com
Contact me with info to include in paper and hopefully some subscriptions to help support it.
We researched the “precinct committeemen” and saw that we have a big say as to who gets on the ballot.
I emailed our republican club in Sarasota county and got an email the next morning saying that there was an opening in our precinct and they were looking forward to seeing us at their next meeting on Thursday to be sworn in. This was too easy.
If you are not getting through to your local republican club I suggest you call National and let them know whats happening. We don’t need this inactivity or little “click” groups at this time.
I contacted the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee and got about the same response, but it took about four weeks. Since our counties are next door neighbors, would you be interested in working together to advance this project in our area?

Hello Cold Warrior,
Great info. I noticed you are in LD 17. I would like to talk with you about a candidate in that district. I’m a PC in LD 11 and hope to get more conservative PCs on the ballot next year. I’m not sure how to contact you off line. Let me know.
Thanks for the info. I have contacted the New Mexico Republican Party to start the ball rolling. I will do my part.
Thanks for getting involved. Don’t wait for the NM GOP to get back in touch with you. Be the proactive “squeaky wheel” that gets the oil. Don’t give up. Please let me know if you need any assistance. If you have to, drive to the GOP local office if there is one and politely insert yourself into their world.
I am a conservative precinct committeeman (Arizona) and look forward to meeting all “true conservative pc’s” at the Republican pc meeting on 1/16/10 at Grace Community Church in Tempe, AZ
I was just appointed as a PC in Florida. This was a result of reading Cold Warriors blogs and following his advice. I am now working to recruit more PCs from the 9-12 and Tea Party groups in the state of Florida.
PrecinctPatriot is too modest! He just created a great precinct committeeman recruitment blog for Florida: http://thefloridaprecinctproject.wordpress.com. I’ve linked to it. Bravo, PrecinctPatriot!
COLD WARRIOR, I AM A REGISTERED INDEPENDENT. DO I HAVE TO BE A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN TO PURSUE PC STATUS?
Yes. One of the downsides of registering as an independent is that you cannot participate in the real ball game of politics — party politics — inside either the Republican or Debtocrat parties. I recommend you re-register as a Republican and then get to your local GOP meeting and tell them you want to become a voting member of the Party (whatever it happens to be called in your state). Thank you.

I ran across your web site and glad I did. I am working with a group of people in Illinois trying to achieve what your doing in Arizona. I currently won republican PC in Elgin township 54th precinct. We have a handful of other conservative PCs of the same mindset as yourself. From what we have seen so far in Illinois we know we must start working now to get our people in place for the next election in 2012. We came within a vote last Tuesday of ridding our township of its current chairman replacing him with a conservative. Our goal is to fit people in as independents in the vacant precincts poised and ready to move into the system for the election. Please check our website and we would appreciate any advice you can give us. My precinct website is http://www.al4grassroot.com and our group is http://www.conservativecommitteemancoalition.com I am including my fellow conservative radical Laura’s email lrwallett@aol.com
Bravo! You are doing exactly what needs to be done! Keep recruiting conservatives into the PC ranks!
Thank you,
Cold Warrior
Cold Warrier,
I LOVE the Precinct Project and every last word you’ve written.
I would like to link to your blog on our county GOP website in Wyoming.
Also, I have a request. In reading “434 new conservative precinct committeemen. And counting.” all the links are broken. I am very interested in what you had initially linked to.
If you have the materials or new links to that material, would you please email them to me?
I’m not only my county’s Republican party chairman, I’m also a founding member of our local Tea Party-9/12 Project.
At our county caucus yesterday, I appointed three new PC — all of them strong conservatives and constitutionalists!
Thanks for all you do and for any help you can provide to help me spread the fire.
GOP = Government Of the People
I just discovered this blog by accident. I’ve just become involved in another precinct group, the National Precinct Alliance (http://www.nationalprecinctalliance.org/) and this definitely appears to be the way to take the country back. Unfortunately, the left is 100 years ahead of us, well financed and well-organized. We have our work cut out for us.
I just contacted by county GOP to find out how to get involved at the precinct level. God bless all you patriots for taking up the good fight! As I find out more about the process in Ohio, I’ll post it here.
I came across this blog through a link posted by someone else in a comment section of an article about Obamacare! Thank you so much for being here and getting the word out! I’m going to be inducted as a precinct committeewoman next month in Sarasota, FL! I am very excited about getting involved in my precinct!
Adrienne,
Bravo! You are my new hero! You will have fun and will be instrumental in taking back our government and returning it to its constitutionally limited functions. Together, we can preserve our constitutional republic. Thank you!

Hi,
I am an Australian who, one year ago,came to live in the USA. I am presently a legal Permanent Resident. As best as I can tell, this makes me ineligible to register as a voter, and therefore to become a precict committeeman. Do you know if this is so, and do you have any suggestions as to how I would be able to help the Conservative movement here in the US?
Kind Regards
Brett
I just came across this blog. As we gear up for the 2012 “Aust the Louse” campaign we need to get this blog re-energized. I will be pushing the “Precinct Committeemen/women” (Precinct Chairs here in Texas)to my contacts here in North Texas.
Dennis,
I agree and thanks for all you are DOING!
Cold Warrior
Hey bud, just posted up some links for you over at the Revo that you were asking Brad about. bFunny thing, I went into detail about exactly what you were asking several months back. have a look.

L n L,
Thanks. Am passing along the info.
All the best,

Dear Cold Warrior,
October, 2009 was my first political meeting of my life. I saw the power of the PCP and became an elected PCP in spring of 2010 as a write-in candidate. In November, I was elected by my fellow PCPs to become a County Delegate, which means I am on the Republican Party County Executive Committee.
I am also running for the school board this May, 2011.
I decided it didn’t matter how hard I work or how well my boys do in school, if we don’t change the direction of government, the next generation will end up being slaves of the government. Nobody knows how to work harder than conservatives.
If you are reading these posts and fuming at the news, get off your rear and get in the fray. This is your call to action. I am in the trenches and we need help. Your County Party needs help. If you don’t like the way it is running, do what I did. Get in there and show them how to work and help them work more efficiently, effectively, and energetically.
Make a lasting difference where you are. If each of us change our county, the nation will change. Cold Warrior has the right plan. LET’S WORK IT!!!
Brett, contact your local conservative party to find out. Here in Oregon, you don’t need identification in order to register. You can register to vote on-line without even an address or any identification whatsoever. Homeless shelters have hundreds of people that use their addresses. So even if you have a home address, you are just as good. The only limitation is that you can’t vote for Federal campaigns because the Federal government has higher voter registration standards than Oregon. So check your state to find out the details.
Gordon,
Thanks for all you are DOING and also thank you for answering Brett’s questions.

I can’t be a PC because I voted D in the last primary. Don’t blast me, but every R was going to win the seat, and where I live it is totally D. So, I voted for the best D candidates available. There are some conservative Ds which make the R’s look bad. We had the best slate of Rs we have ever had and still couldn’t break the Democrat stronghold.
I want to win an election…so I passed on your blog to 20 other people. Hope we get some energy going on the this…here. We can’t take much more of the spending and nepostism of the good old boy system.
It has only been in the past couple of weeks I have understood the importance of PCs.
