Liberty Action TX: All About Precinct Conventions & Precinct Chairs
January 14, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
No politically active citizen should miss this presentation!
Corey W. Stephens
In a Presidential Primary year, you are not finished voting until you’ve gone to your Precinct Convention (usually but now always at your polling place) on Election Day!
There you will bring/vote on on Resolutions for inclusion in the Party Platform as well as decide who your District Convention delegates are (hopefully YOU!) This is especially important as State and National Delegates will come from among District delegates. This is ESPECIALLY important if the National Convention is a brokered convention. If so, after you vote the required times for the candidate who wins your District, you may be ale to vote for the candidate of YOUR choice.
If you are a precinct chair who was never taught how to mobilize your neighbors, a new precinct chair/candidate, or live in a community and have never met your precinct chair, Corey Whalen Stephens will teach us all about the basics. You can even become a Precinct Captain if your chair is inactive.
Presentation by Butch Davis occurred on June 5, 201o.
Video Presentation by Louis “Butch” Daviswith PowerPoint and downloadable Cheat Sheet
Butch is an extraordinary Parliamentarian. He is the one we all work to send to the Republican National Convention because of his expertise and his conservatism!
Butch is also the one who alerted everyone to the machinations of Romney’s campaign to control the delegates the States elect to go to the RNC so we could mitigate the worst of it in Tampa.
Lou “Butch” Davis gave us a fine introduction to the Parliamentary Procedure used by the Republican Party at its conventions. Kingwood TEA Party requested him to teach the class because of the large number of new Patriots attending the State Convention in June who had no idea what to expect. He was gracious enough to allow me to record his presentation so those who could not attend could view the class before going to State.
For those of you who don’t know Butch, here are a few of his qualifications:
State party parliamentarian for the Republican Party of Texas
Former Senate District Chairman for 6 years
Member of State Rules Committee for 4 state conventions
Attended all state conventions except 2 since 1980.
Parliamentary Procedures – Republican Style is, of course, also valuable for those who want to get involved in their local political process in March 2010.
