Deputy President Magazine Deputy President Magazine VOLUME 1, ISSUE 2 — OCTOBER 2016 A Reminder Before you put on that pin ... Pins are great conversation starters. That’s why we wear them, right? We want someone to ask us why we support a particular candidate or cause. Here’s the thing – When we do get that question, we have about 15 seconds to influence the person who asked! Every word matters. So, since I know questions are coming. I can prepare my response ahead of time. Try these tips: • Make responses personal. Why do I support this candidate or cause? What is important to me about this campaign? What are the stakes for me and my family? Be specific. • Make responses positive. Talk about the good that this candidate will accomplish or the benefits of supporting this cause. Save criticism of the opposition for another time. • Use inclusive words like “our,” “us,” and “we” whenever possible. These words create common ground. • Speak in a calm and friendly voice. One example: I’m in the grocery store and see a friend. I’m wearing my “Let’s Keep Texas Red” pin. Friend: “Vicki, what’s your pin? What do you mean Keep Texas Red?” Me: “Keeping Texas Red is about how we can hold onto the values that make our state prosperous ... like lower taxes and being a right to work state. My brother’s company doubled in size because it moved operations from other states here. I want us to keep that momentum going. “ So, before you put on that pin ... Think through and prepare your own personal, positive response to the questions it will generate. Have those words ready to roll off your tongue. Our candidates and causes matter. If we care enough to put on the pin, let’s care enough to make the most of those precious 15 seconds.

Of course the focus continues to be to get Republicans elected. Nancy Holly, Melanie Grammar and I have one foot in the car at all times! We have said it before, but truly this is one of the most critical elections EVER! And yet, one of the biggest battles we have is to get behind our Presidential Nominee, Donald Trump.

Ladies, let’s rally behind being REPUBLICAN! Make the “Plus” and “Negative” columns for Hillary and Donald. When you are making your list, repeat to yourself, Lied about Benghazi, Lied to the FBI, Lied about her email server, Lied about being FLAT BROKE Jeannette when she left the White House, Lied, Lied Lied!
