Now is when the Revolution begins.
Step Two
Plan
No war has ever been won without a plan.
This is the foundation.
It is impossible for one to know all the rules of each state GOP. It is incumbent on you to contact your state party on Tuesday and learn the rules.
Also, check your state committee's website this weekend to see if they have information available online.
Have your questions prepared.
- How many delegates in the state? Are the spots filled? How many available?
- Is it a winner take all state?
- Are the delegates unbound?
- If delegates are bound, then for how many rounds?
- What is the process for becoming a delegate? Is it by petition? How many signatures required?
- Can delegates be uncommitted?
Think over the next day, read about your state and be prepared for your call. Time is of the essence.
Gather as much information as possible for your state. This is the grunt work, the unglamorous part of politics that turns many off and away.
It is here that people fail because they can't understand the process or find it tedious and unsexy. This is how your opponents win. They know the ropes by heart. In due time, so will you.
We will then take this information and post it in a central location. Be ready to take all you have learned and condense it in understandable terms and represent the rules of your state.
Note - Thank you to Jim for reaching out to me.
You are about to enter a new arena of politics.
It isn't a warm, fuzzy place.
It won't be friendly.
It's cold and dirty and you will only have each other.
You will now prepare for your Revolution.
Bend like the reed rather than break like the oak when the winds of change blow
You will make history.
