I just have to get less than 10 neighbors to vote for me and then I am one of a growing number of conservative precinct chairmen in our county Republican party that have the power to choose the next candidate to run for many offices. Local, state and influence federal.
We are doing this on the down low via email to try to get a majority of conservatives on the County Republican party board, the tea parties brought us together and a growing "Americans for Prosperity" chapter with twice a month meetings.
