I can vouch for this issue...
I’m the committee chair of my town. By statute, we can have a maximum of 35 members. We only have 13 members, with 22 vacancies. We actively recruit, and would welcome new members.
The apathy out there is unreal.
Yep. You would think the further loss of freedoms and the lowering of the quality of everyday life were spur on conservatives and even moderates to get involved. But in many cases, it's not happening. The creation of political apathy has been by design. It's easy for liberals to get enough people amped up about something impacting their lives. With conservatives, much harder.
I donate and knock on doors every election, but can someone explain how attending one of these monthly meetings are a useful way to help the cause?
what does the committee do?
Do they evaluate and endorse candidates?
Just watch the response to this thread. I've posted a link to Precinct Strategy with a brief explanation many times and get very little response.
Slightly related. I've got a libertarian leaning republican running for my DC house rep and the two term incumbent has become a RINO already but the libertarian leaning republican is not on twitter while his opponents are and his website is on some free cookie cutter site provider. His facebook page is the only thing that shows up in a web search and you have to be logged in to see it. WTF? Different but the same. Too lazy to do what needs to be done.
