A GUIDE for PRECINCT COMMITTEE PEOPLE 2014 - 2016 Created by Marti Halverson A GUIDE FOR PRECINCT COMMITTEE PEOPLE 2014 - 2016 Created by Marti Halverson Wyoming Republican Precinct Committee members: GRASS ROOTS IN ACTION As precinct committeemen and precinct committeewomen of the Lincoln County Republican Party, you are the party’s foot soldiers – the eyes and ears of our party. You are a member of the county party’s Central Committee. You are the lifeblood of our political organization. There are 17 precincts in Lincoln County. Each precinct is entitled to at least one committeeman and one committeewoman. Some precincts are entitled to more – the number depends on the number of votes cast for the Republican candidate for U. S. Representative. If each of you as Republican Precinct Committeemen and women carry our message to the residents in your precinct on a person-to-person basis, the coming elections will be victorious for us. Committee people who work their precincts and are accessible to their constituents are the party’s most valuable assets. There is absolutely no substitute for committee people knocking on doors, visiting neighbors in the post office or at the mail box, in the grocery store, at sporting events, community functions, or wherever you see them, asking for their support of our Republican candidates. This is the number one job of a precinct committee person. We hope this handbook will help you in working your precinct in the most effective way possible. We have included an overview of the party organization. Each county in Wyoming varies demographically and geographically – we have attempted in this GUIDE to customize the techniques for the vagaries of Lincoln County. Thank you for agreeing to serve and for your commitment to our party. The Lincoln County Republican Party Executive Committee 2014 – 2016 Paul A. Scherbel, Chairman Dan Dockstader, Vice Chairman-North Taylor Allred, Vice Chairman-South Gordon Tueller, State Committeeman Margaret Tueller, State Committeewoman Marti Halverson, Secretary/Treasurer Page 1 www.lincolnwy.gop Vote for the Party or the Man? As you visit with the voters of your precinct, you may hear the words “I vote for the best man, not the party.” People who say this seem to be attempting to show that they are above the “mob” mentality of party politics. They want to appear more thoughtful and considerate in casting their vote compared to those who “blindly vote the party.” We should not take them lightly. Recent surveys show that more than ever before voters are shunning party affiliation to register as Independents (in Wyoming, they are registered as “Other”). Then, why do political parties exist? The purpose of a political party is to bring together a group of individuals who share a common set of beliefs; a group that believes in a similar fundamental philosophy; a group that looks beyond the smaller disagreements among them to work together to elect its members to public office so that their philosophy prevails in public policy. Ronald Reagan urged Republicans to unite on the 80% of their common principles and leave the 20% of differences aside. The Wyoming Republican Party and the Lincoln County Republican Party exist for that purpose. Our sole purpose is to elect individuals to public office who advocate and promote the basic principles we all agree are important to national, state and local government. It is important to remember that the first day a government body convenes, such as the Wyoming legislature or the United States congress, members are surveyed to see how many Republicans and Democrats have been elected. The group with 51% membership controls every legislative committee and absolutely every piece of legislation for the duration of the session. Without that 51% representation, Republican principles and programs cannot be enacted. If we truly believe in our Republican principles, we must work together and work hard to elect that 51%. Primary elections are the opportunity to vote “the man.” In general elections, it is important to vote the party. If our Republican party does not prevail, our principles and fundamental beliefs cannot be advanced. For good or ill, we are a two-party nation. Vote Republican!

Page 3 www.lincolnwy.gop THE PRECINCT CAUCUS The PRECINCT CAUCUS is an even-year meeting open to all Lincoln County Republicans. The timing of the Caucus is determined by the Wyoming State Republican Party, and is held in the first calendar quarter. Lincoln County will hold caucuses in four locations in 2016 to create workable group sizes while minimizing travel. They are Kemmerer at the Court House; Cokeville and Thayne Town Halls, and the Afton Civic Center. All precinct caucuses will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1, 2016. The order of the Caucus generally follows this format: Call to Order Presentation of the Colors (Boy Scouts or VFW) Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag Invocation Chairman’s Opening Remarks Development of the County Platform Development of County Resolutions Amendments to the County and/or State Bylaws Presidential Preference Survey Election of Delegates to the County Convention Election of Alternates to the County Convention Adjourn RESOLUTION SUBJECTS Jobs and the Economy Crime and Law Land, Agriculture, and Environment Government and Budgets Education Health and Society Immigration and Immigrants Energy Foreign Policy and Defense The PLATFORM is a statement of timeless Republican principles. The RESOLUTIONS are timely stands on specific issues of the day relating to the Platform. Platform, Resolutions, and State Bylaws amendments will then be discussed at the County Convention and those which are adopted there will be sent to be considered at the State Convention. Those adopted at the State Convention are then sent for consideration by the Republican National Committee. Page 4 www.lincolnwy.gop THE COUNTY CONVENTION The Lincoln County Republican Party Convention is held in even years, following the Precinct Caucuses. Anyone may attend, but usually only delegates participate. We especially love to see young people – future voters -- observing their representatives in action. This year the Convention is being held at the Afton Civic Center on March 12 starting at 10:00 a.m. Voting members of the convention are the County Central Committee (Precinct Committee Men and Women) and the additional Delegates elected at the Caucuses. If an elected Delegate cannot serve, an Alternate will be seated and allowed to vote. No proxies are allowed at the County Convention. The order of the Convention generally follows this format: Call to Order Presentation of the Colors Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag Invocation Chairman’s Opening Remarks Discussion and Adoption of the Platform and Resolutions Adoption of any amendments to the County Bylaws Adoption of any amendments to the State Bylaws Election of Delegates to the State Convention Election of Alternates to the State Convention Appointments to the Convention Committees * Election of the Alternate to the Republican National Convention (Lincoln County alternates with Uinta County for the Delegate / Alternate to the Republican National Convention. In 2016, Lincoln County elects the Alternate and Uinta County elects the Delegate.) Adjourn At the State Convention, twelve at-large Delegates to the Republican National Convention will be elected in addition to those elected in the counties. NOTE: State convention Delegates who are appointed to committees generally need to arrive two days in advance of the convention for committee work. Choose State Convention Delegates carefully – they are charged with advocating for Lincoln County’s Platform, Resolutions, Bylaws amendments and nominees. * Committees are: Credentials, Nominating, Bylaws, Platform and Resolutions. Page 5 www.lincolnwy.gop CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETINGS There are at least two meetings of the Lincoln County Republican Party Central Committee. One occurs within 30 days of the primary election in even years after the Precinct Committee people have been elected. The Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen comprise the Central Committee. The purpose of this first meeting is to get to know each other, go over the party’s schedule, and instruct precinct people on their duties. At this time, the Executive Committee may vote to appoint individuals to fill vacancies on the Central Committee. The complete roster of precinct people is then submitted to the Lincoln County Clerk. The purpose of the second Central Committee Meeting, held the following March is to elect the officers of the party, assess the party’s successes or failures in the prior November elections; plan the events through the biennium, set a budget of income and expenses; develop plans to support elected Republicans, and recruit Republican candidates for the following year to run for any open seats or those held by Democrats.

  • Wyoming Republican Candidate Profile Questionnaire
    Wyoming Republican Candidate Profile Questionnaire The questions here reflect current issues you are likely to face during a coming term in office and ask each candidate to provide, in their own words, their thoughts and opinions regarding a significant number of topics and questions. We appreciate your time and effort in responding to our questionnaire. 1) How would you describe the proper role of government? Ronald Reagan said, “Man is not free unless government is limited”. I feel strongly about the right to personal freedom, that we are all created equal, and the inalienable right to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”. The right to personal liberty is perhaps the most important American value, and Republican Party value. I believe in a separation between church and state – leaving moral decisions to the individual, their God, and spiritual advisor—not to my neighbor or to my senator. 2) How would you describe your role as a Republican elected official in our constitutionally defined form of government? I believe strongly in the constitutional role of a senator. Our current senator, along with many others, have forgotten that their primary role is to write legislation that can pass a senate with 60 votes, the House of Representatives, and then receive a signature from the President. That takes hard work, but it is the job. As a citizen and voter, I’m not impressed with speeches or TV appearances, I want to see results—and that means an immigration bill, a healthcare bill, an infrastructure plan, and tax simplification. I also do not think the role of a senator is to pass responsibility off to the Executive Branch, and then try to take credit for all that President Trump has done.
