The candidates, democrat and republican, who win public office will almost always be the candidate endorsed by the local PARTY LEADERS. One of those two candidates, either the republican or the democrat, will be elected in November, and go to Congress to make the laws, and determine much of our country’s future. This is very obvious to most Americans. What is not obvious is what is happening at the grassroots level. Every two years there is an election most Americans are not aware of… the election of our Precinct Executives. The Precinct Executives elect the Party Leaders and the Party Leaders endorse the candidates for office. Hence, the only way Americans can fire the current local county Party Leaders is through the Precinct System by electing like-minded Precinct Executives.So how do you, or someone you know, become a Precinct Executive and help advance this effort? The National Precinct Alliance has all the answers and you can get involved here: nationalprecinctalliance.org ** ACTION ITEM #1 ** (California Only): In California an important deadline is coming up - tomorrow, Tuesday, February 16th. The deadline is for applications to the first-ever Citizens Redistricting Committee. Because of a voter-approved initiative, private citizens such as yourself can apply to serve on the state's redistricting commission, where the lines are drawn for legislative districts throughout the state. We are all now well aware of the famous - infamous - examples of district lines being drawn for a congressional or legistlative seat that are ridiculously shaped. They are designed solely to get blocs of voters into one district, to help ensure that the incumbent politicians - in this case now dominated by liberals - can keep their seats and hold on to power. But not anymore! Not, at least, if California patriots such as yourself will please, please, please apply to serve on the California Citizens Redistricting Committee. Full details on how to get involved are here: wedrawthelines.ca.gov
