Citizen Leaders, Step Up!

I was impressed with one lady who stood up to speak at the TEA Party gathering at the Double Tree today, as we were waiting the arrival of Newt Gingrich. She stood and clearly stated to the crowd of 400+ (without a microphone, but clearly heard) that she had never been involved in politics before, but last year had volunteered to be a precinct chair in her county (not Travis, but a smaller county nearby). She said she was a little afraid when she make first calls to find others in her precinct to get involved, but as she got more people involved, her fear has subsided some.

She made a compelling statement that should have encouraged anyone who was there to re-think their involvement, if you aren't taking an active role in your precinct. Please check on the Travis County Republican Party web site www.tcrp.org for your precinct information. If you have a Precinct Chairman, contact your precinct chair and offer your assistance. If there is not one listed in your precinct, contact us to find out how you could serve as Precinct Chair.

We will be installing new Precinct Chairs on May 8 at noon on the South Steps of the Capitol. These Precinct Chairs will serve for two years, but the Executive Committee (all Precinct Chairs and the County Chair) can fill vacancies as they occur throughout the interim.

It's time to step up, join up and LEAD where you are right now. NOW IS THE TIME!
