The most crucial element of a conservative resurgence in our country is a commitment from our volunteers and supporters to spread the tea party common sense message of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free markets to all whom you know. Knowledge is power!
Electing the right people this coming November is a critical first step to restoring our liberty. It is up to you as a citizen to play what part you can in every election - local, state and national. Without conservative majorities across the land and especially in the U.S. Congress next year, eventual victory may be out of reach. Here are twenty ways you can get involved:
1. Support conservative candidates at all levels. It is critically important to rebuild a conservative majority from the ground up. There are many local and state offices: town council, county board, sheriff, state assembly, state senate, and a host of other elected positions crying for principled, conservative leadership.
2. Understand the essential role of the local party committee/precinct.
3. Join your Party's formal structure. Attend local Party central committee meetings and become involved. Run or be appointed to a seat on the committee.
4. Help build your precinct: visit, call, e-mail; many areas have no political infrastructure. Focus your efforts: build out from targeted voter lists. Get the list from your local party or registrar of voters. Focus on getting registered voters energized first.
5. Volunteer to become a precinct/block captain. These are challenging jobs but critical to identifying and motivating voters. Block captains are almost always in short supply.
6. Volunteer to be an election judge or poll watcher. Conservatives frequently leave this job to others, with predictable results. Voter fraud is an increasing problem, with much of the leftist infrastructure getting behind the effort. George Soros has even funded something called the Secretary of State project, designed to elect leftists to oversee each state's vote count.
7. Run for political office. If you feel you can make a contribution this way, consider running. The country needs you, now!
8. Learn to use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instant Messaging to help promote candidates and the conservative message. Communication is key and these tools greatly facilitate spreading the message. Get two great free tutorials to learn how: Facebook PDF Guide and Twitter PDF Guide, from American Majority.
9. Volunteer to maintain Facebook/Twitter site for candidates.
10. Use personal e-mail accounts to promote candidates and spread the conservative message.
11. Volunteer for candidate sign waving - believe it or not, this simple activity does more for candidate name recognition than many other activities.
12. Volunteer to canvas for candidates.
13. Attend candidate fundraisers.
14. Volunteer for phone banks or just to make calls. With modern technology, you can now call from your home or car. There is often no longer a need to actually go to a phone bank.
15. Get certified from your local Board of Elections to register voters. This is usually an easy step, involving a short trip to the Board of Elections office and swearing in.
16. Volunteer for door knocking.
17. Put up yard/street signs. Use and distribute candidate bumper stickers.
18. Join a political campaign. If you feel strongly about a particular candidate, focus your efforts and volunteer to work to get him/her elected.
19. 72 hour push - Last three days before November elections, volunteer for any activity to help get out the vote for your candidates.
20. Prior to election day, talk to your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers about why you are supporting conservatives! Knowledge is power!
