The Precinct Strategy of 2010
Andie Brownlow
Conservatarian Journal

The Conservative Movement is at a standstill right now. About half the people will stick with the major party candidates, as to not ‘waste’ their vote on 3rd party “spoilers”. The other half want to start or join 3rd parties to get away from the 2-Party System all together. There is one more option, and it reconciles the split; it’s called The Precinct Strategy. For decades this effective tactic has worked for other grassroots campaigns. This method holds our movement together by providing immediate action with a united front and in effect, buys time to debate party options and long term goals.

Traditional voters can stay with the two major parties while 3rd party advocates can insert their ‘would-be’ candidates into a major political party with a real chance at winning elections.
The goal of the Precinct Strategy is to take over a major political party from the bottom-up to advance a new brand of candidates, thus creating real opposition to incumbents and establishment leaders. Involvement begins at the county level in elections for “Precinct Captains” ' (Official names can vary). Depending on the county, there could be anywhere from a few to a couple thousand voting precincts.

The Plan in Action: Find the number of precincts in your county to get a baseline of how many group members you’ll need to pull off a successful campaign. The goal in your first step is for your group to occupy as many Precinct Captain seats as possible in your county. Bear in mind, there is only 1 Precinct Captain seat for each precinct, so it’s imperative to find members from as many precincts in your county as possible to ensure minimal ‘duplicate’ members and maximize coverage.

You’re group will then decide to join either the Republican or Democrat party and members will run for their Precinct Captain seat under that party. (You must actually join the party in your county, not just register to vote for that party’s candidates. This is separate from being a ‘registered voter’.)

Precinct positions are the lowest-ranking minor civil division (MCD) in the US and are filled by average citizens or by no one at all. When running for this office, most of the time you may go unopposed. Usually all it takes to run for Precinct Captain is a few signatures from residents (around 10 or so) in your precinct.

Once your group has won as many Precinct Captain seats as you could secure in elections, then it’s important that all group members, in addition to your Precinct Captains, attend the party’s county meeting. This meeting is held to elect your party’s County Leader, and is held shortly after the precinct elections. These County Leader seats hold the key to real reform because they elect state leaders, local candidates, Congressional candidates and if the plan is implemented further, to the state-level, then you can elect national party leaders. It is literally reform from the bottom up in an efficient and cost effective manner.

Independence Caucus has made its mark on our political system with this strategy by getting Jason Chaffetz’s elected as a Utah Representative to the US Congress. They were able to defeat a 6-term incumbent who outspent them 6 to 1! Independence Caucus is a strong and active national organization that continues to show its members and other groups how to achieve the same success.

Just recently 7 groups in Clarke County, NV teamed up to replace 7 out of 8 precinct seats in Clarke County using the same strategy endorsed and taught by Independence Caucus. The key is number of volunteers, not money. Using a major political party as a vehicle for promoting grassroots candidates saves valuable time and money during the election process, as opposed to 3rd party strategies. 1,000 dedicated volunteers in any given district will practically guarantee a victory for their candidates. You get two birds with one stone by simultaneously getting your candidate elected and reforming your party of choice as well. This strategy is well on its way to transforming the political landscape in America by putting the power of government back into the hands of the people.

I can agree that this is an excellent strategy since it is the same startegy I have been advocating. It will work. The Independence Caucus has done a great job and this just enhances the probability of winning. I am looking for people in the 4th and 5th districts of Texas to implement this strategy.

From a Third party perspective

As a third party founder, I fail to understand Why! You would want our members joining the Democrat’s or Republican parties, Our power lays in the number of members We have registered in any given State, and Your suggestion of joining in with the Enemy only furthers their cause, and diminishes ours,
We as Third Parties have come a long way in forcing new reforms in our political landscape, we have now achieved the strengths to get third party candidates elected,
And while your idea sounds interesting,
It should also set off an alarm to all third parties, that the Democrat’s and the Republican’s now have viable competition,

PSS after joining the Icaucus group, and submitting new and fresh idea’s and asking for their support, it was made very clear to me by one of the Board members, That there was no way in hell, that the Icaucus group would ever endorse a candidate other than a Republican, Think for yourself who this group represents.

I agree with this concept in full, however we are in the middle of a National sellout of our Constitution. This great idea will take alot of time to accomplish, something we have very little of at this moment.

What is sooooo frustrating with the Conservative movement is their silence on what I call the magic pill for America's future, something the socialist in the White House and Congress will never impliment is ths FAIR TAX PLAN[FTP] because that would be he lagest transfer of power back to the PEOPLE ending their ability to play their 'class warfare' game[s] of pitting one group against another through the 75,000 plus pages of the tax code and further exasterbated by and through the unconstitutional so-called Obamacare.

The redistribution of wealth on a level we have never seen in the history of this Nation, coupled with the Cap & Trade fraudulent scheme[s] as another form of redistribution of wealth is beyond belief. I for one will not comply, Period !

The merits of the FTP can be found at fairtax.org. but are much too long to explain here for those who may have never heard of it. This is what should have been the title of the grassroot movements instead of 'Tea Party' understandably following the history of the 'Boston Tea Party' only to be cast in the most hidious terms, goes without expressing the radical left wing vile.

Lets take the FTP moto and advocate for the abolishment of the IRS and make 'April 15th Just Another Spring Day, while also turning America 'Into The Tax Haven Of The World' making every American citizen 'equal' and in the same tax bracket across the board.

Only a fool wouldn't want to keep every penny they earn as the fruit of Their Labor and pay as they go under a National Sales Tax of 23% on 'all new goods and services' only. This is now pendind in the House as bill HR-25 and in the Senate as bill 1025. Read these two books
titled 'Fair Tax Book' & Fair Tax Answering The Critics' to inform yourselves with easy terms and lodgic.

This would be the perfect Republican/Conservative platform to run on because if Ronald Wilson Reagan were alive today this is what HE WOULD HAVE STOOD FOR hands down. It accomplishes everthing WE STAND FOR TOO.

I used to be from Chicago as a democrat. Lived in the Ozarks for about 10 years now whereas the FTP changed my entire way of thinking as well as my beliefs in one fell swoop thank to Mr. Neil Boortz Author of the books above advocated on his talk radio show.
