Precinct Committeeman (Chairman) is the most powerful office in the world because Precinct Committeemen determine who gets the chance to be elected to office at every level of government. Remember, if your candidate is not on the ballot, he will not be elected.

Duties of the Precinct Committeeman
The Precinct Committeeman is the person who is legally charged with getting out the vote on election day. If he does his job well, he will ring the doorbell of every household in the precinct and ask polite questions to find out the Party and other political views of every voter. (That's called canvassing.) Then, before each election, the Precinct Committeeman will personally deliver campaign literature (such as a marked sample ballot) to every voter who is expected to vote for your Party or candidate. Then the Precinct Committeeman makes sure that all his voters get to the polls on election day. This is the way elections are won.

* To change things, we must change the laws.
* To change the laws, we must change the people who make them.
* To get elected, your candidate must be on the ballot.
* To get on the November ballot you must win the Primary.
* To win the Primary, you must get the support of people who make endorsements in the Primary, who reliably vote in the Primary, and who get out the vote of others in the Primary. Those people are the Precinct Committeemen.

Questions:
1. What precinct are you in?
2. Who is you precinct committeeman?
3. Is he or she doing a good job?
4. Who is your county chairman?
5. Are you willing to put forth a few hour a month to make real change?

Many precinct committeeman positions go unfilled. In this case, you can ask your county chairman to assign you to that position until the election. Then run in that election and win the position.

REPLY BACK TO THIS DISCUSSION WITH ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS. IF YOU DON"T KNOW THE ANSWERJUST PUT DON'T KNOW AND WE'LL FIND OUT.
