New Changes, Old Opinions

This will be to our advantage in the future, just wait and see.

As PCP's we need to help people to get involved.  So many people are aware of whats going on but dont know what to do about it.  If they become PCP's, then they can start to take direct action that will make a difference.

Time changes everything.

Core Values of Successful Precinct Committee Members

In order to be successful, Precinct Committee People should be guided by these

fundamental values and principles of leadership

:

Integrity/Responsibility

We honor core Republican values and principles. We

say what we do and we do what we say. We hold each other accountable for the

results promised.
:

Inclusion

:

We promote and encourage participation by all, especially those who

might otherwise be discouraged, marginalized or excluded. While no one Party

or candidate can reflect the personal ideology, principles and values of each

individual voter, we invite and

welcome all citizens to support our candidates

and join the Republican Party.
:

Efficiency/Effectiveness

:

We work in a well organized way and use cutting edge

ideas, methods and tools to produce results. We are dedicated to electing

candidates who best share our core values and principles.
:

Honor/Respect

:

We value and acknowledge each other as individuals

contributing to the betterment of humankind and society. We treat all citizens

with respect, dignity and appreciation, regardless of their political persuasion.
:

Freedom

:

We support individual liberty as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

We believe in the right of individuals to make their own moral and ethical

choices, free from government interference or laws that obstruct our freedom to

choose.
:

Security

:

We recognize the right of all individuals to live free from the threat of

violence from foreign or domestic sources.
:

Fairness/Justice

:

We act from standards of objectivity as we work toward a

society that achieves an equitable balance of conflicting needs, demands and

rights.

Duties of a PCP

Top Ten Duties of a Precinct Committeeperson (PCP)

1. PCPs serve for two years as a Republican Party representative in their own neighborhood. State laws specifies in ORS 248.015 (6) The term of office of a precinct committeeperson is from the 24th day after the date of the primary election until the 24th day after the date of the next following primary election. There are two PCP positions (one man & one woman) for every 500 voters registered in your precinct.
   
2. PCPs support all Republican candidates after the Primary Election. You are the eyes, ears and legs for candidates in your precinct. You play a critical role in selecting and electing Republican candidates for a wide range of positions; from the local school board to US Congress. You will be asked to volunteer on various campaigns in your area.
   
3. PCPs are the "grassroots base" of the Republican party. You are the liaison to the county party organization. This is a year-round commitment, which entails certain responsibilities; the most important is to keep in touch with your Republican neighbors. Recruit and train volunteers whenever possible. Maintain an updated database of the Republican voters in your precinct with phone numbers and emails when possible.
   
4. PCPs canvass their precinct going door-to-door passing out literature for candidates and the party, as well as talking to voters. Walking lists can be obtained from your county party or the local county elections department.
   
5. PCPs register voters. This can be done at events or just handing out voter registration cards in your neighborhood.
   
6. PCPs identify voters. Lots of voters consider themselves Republicans but are not registered with the party. Phone calls and personal contacts are good ways to identify which issues are hot buttons for them and whether they are likely to vote Republican. This information can be put in a database and used later for special mailings and other projects.
   
7. PCPs help Get-Out-The-Vote. Without votes even the best Republican candidate can't win. Making sure voters turn in their ballots by Election Day is the most crucial job you have as a PCP. GOTV (Get-Out-The-Vote) drives include phone banks and doorbelling. These efforts are especially urgent in the final days before the ballots are due.
   
8. PCPs participate in fundraising activities. They are often asked to volunteer at events sponsored by the local or state parties. Money is the mother's milk of politics.
   
9. PCPs attend meetings of the County Republican Central Committee. You need to attend the county party's reorganization meeting (usually held in November of even-numbered years) to elect party leadership. Other county meetings are also held throughout the year to formulate policy and develop strategies.
   
10. PCPs need to be flexible. There is no magic formula for success. Use your best judgment to inform voters and get them to cast a favorable ballot for Republicans.
