Phase IV – RecruitTalk to your neighbors, friends and family to educate and gather support. |
| Step | Description | Detail |
| 1 | Identify new candidates | Network. Observe, research and identify candidates for committee members. Relatives, friends, co-workers, neighbors, acquaintenances. Even social media posts from people you don’t know but are like-minded. SPREAD THE WORD! Comment on social media posts. Copy and paste the following: “Become a Committee Member! https://precinctprojectusa.org/“ You may have to step outside your comfort zone and be more social. In conversations, see if you can detect if someone has personality traits that indicate a conservative, America first mindset. Make a list of potential leads (persons, locations, local organizations, other) that can be considered/pursued. Try your local civic association or John Birch Society chapter. |
| 2 | Ice breaker: ask questions | Ice breaker: Ask questions. “Do you know your precinct/election district?” “Do you know about committee members?” “When you vote in an election and you chose a candidate on the ballot, do you know how that name got on the ballot?” |
| 3 | Inform, educate | Inform, educate The concept: There are supposed to be two (2) representatives within every precinct/election district. The committee members represent their community/neighborhood. The purpose: A representative government by the people. The problem: The public is uninformed. There are vacancies. Other: Clandestine and selective process, proxy votes that consolidate power. The solution: People need to be informed and aware of committee membership, how it works and get involved at the local level. The power: You can be a committee member, have a voice and make a difference. The benefits: Attend committee meetings to nominate party leaders and candidates running for office that will represent you and your community. |
