General FAQ:
Q: Can I donate to the Schiff for Senate campaign if I am not from the United States?
A: No, you must be a US citizen or legally green-card holding permanent resident over the age of 18 years old to donate to the campaign. You may however volunteer for the campaign at any age and regardless of your nationality.
Q: What is the maximum amount I am allowed to donate to the Schiff for Senate campaign?
A: All donations are accepted up to $2,400 per individual for the primary election and an additional $2,400 per individual for the general election. Therefore, if Peter Schiff becomes the Republican candidate in the November 2 general election individuals will be allowed to donate an additional $2,400 to the campaign if they had already reached the maximum donation limit of $2,400 from before the primary.
Q: How can I contact Connecticut voters to encourage them to vote for Peter Schiff?
A: You can use the CallFire Phone Banking Center: https://www.callfire.com/dialer/agents/userlogin.do;jsessionid=359D7E02CC3C5A3D332D1DE604682A55.ui1 and begin phone banking immediately. Instructions are provided on the site. You may call voters regardless of your age or citizenship. The system automatically dials for you. Please be mindful of the time at which you are calling, be polite, and thank them for their time. Remember, how you act on the phone will influence their perception of the campaign, so be professional.
Q: How many Republican Town Committees are in Connecticut?
A: There are 169 RTCs in Connecticut, one in every town or city. However, not all RTCs are active enough or are setup to make official endorsements.
Q: How do I get in contact with my Republican Town Committee?
A: You should contact the RTC's Chairperson requesting how you can get involved. http://www.everydayrepublican.com/ct_locator/ provides contact details for each town's RTC.
Q: If a Republican Town Committee endorses a candidate, then do all of the delegates from that town have to vote for the candidate at the Republican State Convention?
A: No, each delegate can make their own decision on who to vote for at the convention regardless of who is endorsed from their town's RTC. The endorsement is only a guide to promote delegates to vote for a certain candidate and help convince undecided delegates of who to support.
Q: Who are convention delegates?
A: Delegates vote in the state convention nomination process to decide who qualifies for the party primary ballot and general election party endorsement. To become a delegate you must be selected by your Republican Town Committee, which you can join as a registered Republican. Each town committee is allocated a number of delegates depending on the number of registered Republicans in that town. Usually Republican Town Committees select members of their own committees to serve as delegates and alternates to the convention. Elected Republican officials such as the governor, mayors, members of the Connecticut House and Senate as well as the US House and Senate automatically are qualified as delegates. The state Republican Central Committee chairperson and members are also automatically qualified as delegates, but the vast majority of the approximately 1,600 delegates are selected by each individual Republican Town Committee.
Q: How many delegate votes does Peter Schiff need at the May 21 Connecticut Republican State Convention to get on the August 10 primary?
A: Candidates need 15% of the delegates' votes to automatically be on the primary ballot. If a candidate does not secure 15% of the votes at the convention, they can petition to be on the primary ballot by collecting 8,268 signatures from registered Republicans in Connecticut. If a candidate gets 50% of the delegates' votes they win the party's official endorsement. However, it is possible for another candidate to also get 15% of the vote, resulting in a primary. If any candidate gets 85% of the delegates' votes there is no primary unless 8,268 petition signatures are collected for another candidate.
Q: Can I vote for Peter Schiff in the August 10 Republican Primary if I am not a registered Republican?
A: No, you must be a registered Republican in the state of Connecticut to vote in the Primary and over the age of 18 years old at the time of the general election on November 2 (so you must be born before November 3, 1992).
Q: When is the deadline to register as Republican to participate in the August 10 Republican Primary?
A: The deadlines to register as Republican are August 5 by mail and August 9, 12 Noon in person at your town or city's registrar's office.
Q: Who are Peter Schiff's opponents?

As far as delegates go I'm a little hazy on the process, but do delegates pledge to vote for certain candidates when they are chosen by their RTC? Or are they just random people each RTC sends to Hartford that may or may not represent the views of the RTC and can vote for anyone? I'm a bit worried a good portion of the delegates might just be establishment party-first drones who would hesitate going for Peter, no?
