Steps To Becoming a PC in Most States

Steps to becoming a PC in Most States

P ersistence is the key!

1. Verify your precinct by checking your Voter Registration Card or calling your county election office.

2. Determine if your precinct position is filled or open by obtaining a list of the current committee and leadership. There are several ways to do this:

Search the Internet for a website published by your County’s Central Committee. See if it lists the CURRENT members by Precinct, Ward, or Township.
Check your state’s Sec of State website for a tab called “publications”. Look for the CURRENT “Official State Manual” and find a section called “Officers of the Republican Party.” In Missouri the Manual is at:
https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/bluebook/2021-2022/7_Elections.pdf#page=116
(Scroll down to your county to find a list of current or recent members.)
Join, like, and watch your County Cmte's FaceBook page, and/or Republican Clubs.
Search any of the above for an events calendar;
CALMLY attend cmte events to meet people on the cmte and seek out the PC for your precinct. Say something like, "i have recently come to realize that I need to do more to get my country back on track.")
Last resort: Ask your County Clerk’s office for a copy of the current members of your Republican County Cmte. (Be aware they may not be happy to share this list.)

3. Find out the legal requirements for holding a precinct position, i.e. a residency requirement. In Missouri, it is one year from time of registering as a voter in your precinct.

4. Begin volunteering immediately to help in any way at cmte functions. SERVING IS THE PATH TO LEADERSHIP!

5. Quietly determine if your County Cmte's leadership supports the America First Agenda (AFA) or the state’s RINO Establishment Cabal. Don't rant publicly to the Cmte members about how badly they have screwed up the country. From their perspective (however flawed), you have been AWOL while they have been trying to save the county.)

6. If your PC position is filled, offer to assist the current PC and the Cmte with Party work in your precinct. This will endear you to the leadership and put you in a position to learn if they support AFA or if they need to be challenged in the next election cycle. A local Precinct Strategy coach can help show you how to win when/if the time comes to do that.

7. If your PC position is open, seek out if/how vacancies can be filled between elections wo indicating you want to change county cmte leadership. There should be a provision designated in your County Cmte Bylaws but these will likely not be generally available. Active members should have a copy. Often, county vacancies can be filled by appointment of the Exec, Cmte or by a vote of the whole Cmte but you may need a "sponsor" to nominate you.

8. Check out your state’s GOP state website for helpful resources for County Cmtees. In Missouri, go to:
https://missouri.gop/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/County-Sample-Bylaws-June-2019.pdf to access sample county bylaws (your county may vary somewhat).

9. Study Robert's Rules of order to prevent the current County Chair from blocking your attempts to upgrade your cmte's honesty and effectiveness. https://www.unh.edu/fac-senate/summary-and-simplified-roberts-rules-order

10. Use the resources at www.PutnamsPatriots.com to become better informed about how to save our Republic by returning to Constitutional principles.

11. Some states elect PCs at a convention or a caucus. If your state does, you will need an experienced AFA precinct cmteperson to help you navigate that system. If you are from a state other than Missouri, look for more specific information and a coach in your state here: Find a PC coach .

12. Get busy with action, action, action. The clock is ticking!

It's Candidate Vetting Time Again!

Questions for State & Local Office Candidates

How can one tell if candidates for state or local office have sufficient understanding of the principles of liberty and Constitutional government to be an effective office holder? In response to this oft asked question, the following questions and responses are suggested:

1. What is the proper role of government?

The proper role of government is to protect the inalienable rights of the people not grant rights to the people which only come from God. (Governmental authority comes from the people up from not the top down. This is known as the "consent of the governed." The people can only assign to government what they can legally do themselves. If an individual cannot plunder a citizen for the benefit of another, then his agent, the government, cannot do so either. A good way to measure a proposed law is to ask: “Will this law reduce or remove my neighbor’s life, liberty, or property?” If it would, then you can be sure the proposed law is beyond the scope of government.)

2. Have you read the sacred oath you will take when you are sworn into office upon winning election? Can you repeat it?

(Missouri Constitution, Article 1, Section 15: Every senator or representative elect, before entering upon the duties of his office, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: "I, _______, do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I will support the Constitution of the United States and of the state of Missouri, and faithfully perform the duties of my office, and that I will not knowingly receive, directly or indirectly, any money or other valuable thing for the performance or nonperformance of any act or duty pertaining to my office, other than the compensation allowed by law." … any member convicted of having violated his oath or affirmation shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and be forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit in this state.)

3. Can you enumerate the specific powers of your office?

(Unlike federal powers which are specifically enumerated, in the US Constitution, James Madison said powers in state and local government are “numerous and indefinite". This means they are so many they can’t be listed. Consequently, public officials must have a specific set of principles by which they will be guided.)

4. George Washington said, “The propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the ETERNAL RULES OF ORDER AND RIGHT which Heaven itself has ordained.” What are these rules or what set of principles would you use as guidelines in making decisions?

(The Founder’s Success Formula is perhaps best outlined in the book The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen (available from www.amazon.co m).) If candidate is not forthcoming, ask which of the statements he agrees or disagrees with: Look for a determination to put these principles before political deal making:

Inalienable rights are a gift from our Creator, not granted, nor rescindable by governments.
To be free, the people and their leaders must remain virtuous and morally strong.
God created all things, therefore upon Him all mankind are equally dependent and accountable in this life and the next.
Protecting life and the nuclear family is basic to an orderly society.
Life begins at conception.
Life and Liberty are secure only if the right to property is secure.
The people cannot delegate to the government that which is unlawful for them to do themselves.
Government's proper role is to insure equal opportunity not provide an equal outcome.
Peace, both individual and national, can only be secured by strength.
The burden of debt is as destructive to human freedom as subjugation by conquest.
Charity must be voluntary and local or it will divide the people with entitlement thinking on one hand and resentment on the other.
Taxes must be fair to all, simple to calculate, and easy to collect or the people will rebel.
Democracy is in a state of decline when the people realize they can vote, for themselves, benefits from the public treasury…. (Scottish Historian, Alexander Tytler)
Powers not expressly delegated to the States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. (Tenth Amendment)
Good government cannot be maintained without an educated electorate.

5. Do you believe that people’s morals affect their ability to enjoy freedom and protect liberty under the Constitution? Will your personal life withstand a high degree of scrutiny by opponents?

(John Adam’s said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” This is because free people must practice self-restraint and not need a large expensive police force.

Ben Franklin said, “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.")

6. If elected, how would you endeavor to restore the integrity of our voting process and the peoples' confidence in it?

(All voting must be done on a trackable, paper ballot. If machines are used to count the votes, they must be verified by a bi-partisan count of the people in real time with ballot chain of custody practiced and verified.)

7. What can you do as a public official to get the intrusive federal government out of the personal lives of the people?

(A loyal constitutionalist will work to reverse the trends of the last few decades which brought intrusion by the federal government into the lives of the people. Some specific measures include:

□ Refusing to apply for grants or accept federal money for state and local projects.

□ Working to repeal the 16 ^th Amendment which allows the federal government to tax the people directly.

□ Passing resolutions to deter Congress from imposing heavy regulations on businesses that only pass such costs on to final consumers.

□ Using the “bully pulpit” to continually teach correct constitutional principles.

□ Working to repeal regulations imposed by government bureaucracies to give more freedom to people.

□ Writing legislation that punishes people for harming others rather than creating bureaucratic structures and regulations to prevent anything bad from ever happening.)

8. What can you do as a public official to reduce the federal government’s encroachment into the rights reserved to the states (10th Amendment)?

(A loyal constitutionalist will work to reverse the trends of the last few decades which brought the federal government into the lives of the people. Some specific measures include:

□ Refusing to allow federal mandates imposed upon the states.

□ Working to repeal the 17 ^th Amendment so that states can restore their ability to protect their rights.

□ Using the “bully pulpit” to continually teach correct constitutional principles.

□ Signing and following a state sovereignty pledge and seeking to nullify federal encroachments on state’s rights.)

9. How can you work to solve the problem of poor results in public education?

(Work to bring more competition to the education process through vouchers, charter schools, and reducing the power of teacher unions. Work to reduce the power of the federal Dept. of Education and return schools to local control. Pass legislation that rewards parents for greater involvement in their child’s education. Seek to reduce the number of administrators in school offices and increase the number of teachers in the classroom so to reduce the student:teacher ratio.)

10. What are your ideas for getting people off of government welfare roles?

(Possibilities:

□ Introduce bills that will improve the economic climate for small businesses in my state so that more and better jobs will become available in the private sector.

□ Require the needy to participate in public service or job training in return for relief given and introduce them to “earned achievement.”

□ Work to stop federal welfare programs and return the burden of relief to local communities so the truly needy can be discerned and the indolent poor are not rewarded for laziness.

□ Limit state relief to disasters and emergencies.)

11. What initiatives would you support to reform our tax system so that it would become more simple, transparent, and fair/? Do you support special tax credits to help individual businesses or industries succeed?

(Originally, the constitution required taxes to be uniform and prohibited income taxes. Our current tax system has become too, wasteful, complicated, and full of exceptions for special interest groups. We should stop taxing income and move to a flat, progressive, consumption tax instead and seek to repeal the 16 ^th Amendment. No.

12. What ideas do you have for introducing competition and privatization into services, which are currently provided by government or government, sponsored monopolies?

(The greatest threat to economic prosperity is the arbitrary intervention of the government into the economic affairs of private business and the buying public. There are only a few areas the government should police:

□ Illegal force in the market place compelling the purchase or sale of products.

□ Fraud in misrepresenting the quality, location, or ownership of products being sold or bought.

□ Monopolies, which eliminate competition and results in restraint of trade.

□ Debauchery of cultural standards and moral fiber of society by commercial exploitation of vice – pornography, obscenity, drugs, prostitution, or commercial gambling.)

PATRIOT, IS YOUR WINDOW STILL OPEN?

Wed, 19 Feb 2014 06:58:50 GMT

(The window closes soon in Missouri…)

Have you ever hit your forehead and screamed, “HOW DID THESE IDIOTS GET ON THE BALLOT?”

Have you ever realized that simply waving signs and making phone calls are not working when it comes to forcing our politicians to act responsibly?

The biggest reason things seldom change in politics is because the average citizen doesn’t know that the election cycle doesn’t start with the Primary Election when the public first notices that the ballot is devoid of statesmen. The election cycle begins with filing for office months before you ever see the candidates’ names and, by the time you notice, it is far too late to act. Yes, if you want to change politics in America you have to sneak into the political house (fortified castles really) when the window is open.

Every two years, in most states, a window opens for citizens/patriots to reclaim our government. This window is the filing period completed months before elections are ever held. However, we are not just talking about elections to County or State office that you see on the ballot each primary season. We are especially talking about elections to the Precinct, Ward, or Township positions that comprise the first tier of political party organization across the states: the County Committees. These are the most powerful positions in America because they actually cast votes for local party leadership and truly have the power to make things different. Yet you will seldom see these on the ballot because half the positions are never filled and most of the other half are usually uncontested (only one person files). After your bi-annual Primary Election is held (in August of odd numbered years in Missouri), the county committees of each political party hold their re-organizational meetings electing their leadership teams for the next two-year cycle. THIS is where the battle for America can be won because these people gain exponentially greater access to our elected officials in Washington, D.C than you will ever have standing on a street corner holding a sign in your home town or even Washington, DC.

Most county’s political committees are ignored by local citizens who don’t want to get involved in the “dirty business” of politics or who think they are too busy going to work or to age-group sporting events. Meanwhile, the fox is guarding the hen house as elitist elected officials make a few phone calls and ask their “trusted” friends to staff the local political organization (parties). When their “trusted” friend says, I wouldn’t know what to do,” the politician says , “Don’t worry. I will tell you what to do. Oh, and by the way, I can get you some free tickets to the next Cardinals’ baseball game.”

Friends, if this scenario keeps playing itself out, there won’t be any America left. Have you noticed how fast our country is unraveling? However, we still have the freedom to repopulate the nation’s political parties with informed patriots who know the Principles of Freedom and can’t be bought or bullied by selfish pols more interested in their next step up the ladder than what’s best for our kids and country. That’s where YOU come in. If your child had a ball game or a piano recital across the state, you would think nothing of driving three hours to attend it. Well, now our children are facing unmanageable debt that will make them slaves for decades. We each have the opportunity to reclaim our corrupted political process.

Several groups stand ready to help coach you along the way if you will get involved while there is still time to salvage this mess. This includes: the Precinct Project (nationwide), and Putnam’s Patriots or MO Pricinct Project (in Missouri). The first step is to call your County Election Office or County Clerk and find out when YOUR filing window is open. (In Missouri, the window is now open until Tuesday, March 25, 2014.) The Missouri Model on my website will give you the big picture. If you haven’t read that yet, PLEASE, if you truly want to make a difference, do so immediately and then give me a call for specifics at 417-674-1946. We’ve got a country to rescue! The WINDOW IN MISSOURI IS CLOSING FAST! TODAY IS THE DAY TO CHECK AND SEE IF IT IS STILL OPEN IN YOUR STATE?

WHO ARE THE RELIABLE CONSERVATIVES IN CONGRESS?

News Flash…2012 Congressional ALL-STARS just Released!

Author: John.Putnam

WHO ARE THE RELIABLE CONSERVATIVES IN CONGRESS?

Objective Research Reveals Courageous, Constitutional, Congressional Champions

Some disgruntled conservatives believe that EVERY incumbent politician should be sent home. We beg to differ! A recent study has just been completed to answer the question: “Which of our Congressional Representatives are the most courageously and reliably conservative, deserving to be retained in office or promoted to a higher one, and which Members of Congress deserve to be sent home.

This analysis is based on the most recent of nine different popular rating services that specialize in various fiscal, social, cultural, constitutional, and conservative issues voted on in the 212th session of Congress. It then averages those numbers to get a broader perspective than just one rating service can provide. The list includes all Republicans and two Democrats who make up the top 240 positions. All other Democrats fall below this level and are therefore not relevant to the question at hand since they all need to be retired. (Yes, Virginia, there IS a difference between the two major political parties.)

Source data comes from the National Taxpayer’s Union, the Heritage Foundation, the Club for Growth, the American Conservative Union, the John Birch Society’s Freedom Index, the Family Research Council, the Americans for Prosperity, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the Gun Owners of America. Links to each website are provided.
