Calling all Potential Precinct Captains

you just find people at caucus willing to nominate and second you, and unless you're living in a precinct that has established precinct leaders who have been at it for a long time, the caucusers will vote for you because, hey, they don't want to do it themselves. I became leader of my own precinct in 2008, after it had been sitting there leaderless for years.

If we want to turn the direction of the United States of America around then our goal must be to
take control of the power centers of society.

The Precinct Conventions that elect the Precinct Chairs are one of the power centers of society.

A county is divided into precincts. A precinct is an area that contains a maximum of 2,999 voters, usually with about 1000 voters within an area of several streets. The precincts are called the grassroots of the political parties. Each political party in each precinct is represented by a Precinct Chair (or Chairman/Leader/Executive/Delegate/Officer/etc, the position seems to be called by many names). The Precinct Chairs within a county make up a party Central Committee. Through the Central Committee's powers the Precinct Chairs together are extremely influential in the county, state, and the national party.

An explanation about why the Precinct Chair/Executive is so powerful, a "power center of society":

An example for us:
http://ronpaul.meetup.com/119/calendar/6910581/

The Precinct Conventions (or caucuses, etc) held on even numbered years (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012) are where the Precinct Chairs and other Party office holders and in some cases delegates are elected by voters. In some states the Precinct Conventions are where delegates to the County, State, and National Party Conventions get their start. The delegates that make it to the National Convention are who choose the party's presidential candidate.

If we want to elect Ron Paul then we need to vote for Ron Paul supporters as delegates (directly or indirectly through candidate slates) and Precinct Chairs in the Precinct Conventions, the County Conventions, and the State Conventions to get them to the National Convention where they can vote for Ron Paul. The result is also our taking back the Republican party.

The Republican Party only accounts for 50% of the political power in America though, and the Democrat Party accounts for the other 50%. With only 50% of the political power we are still susceptible to the control of the other 50%, so we have to take back both parties to regain actual control of the country. The parties in power are who control the election systems, third parties don't have any power and so they cannot control the election systems to ensure fairness, so they can't get elected. Like Ron Paul said, the system in this country is biased against democracy. Ideally our goal is to have almost all candidates in all parties running for all offices to be working towards our goals, just like the opposite of the 2008 Presidential elections. The goals of the parties have already been so twisted around that the distinction between parties is essentially meaningless.

Other power centers of society are the economic systems, mainstream media, widely believed misconceptions, and the
schooling

system

. Educating people about the truth and discrediting the mainstream media, and helping others free themselves from the controlled
economic systems

should also be our goals as Precinct Chairs and community leaders.

So your immediate goals should be:
1. Get as many precincts with Ron Paul Republican Precinct Chairs and Ron Paul Delegates as possible. (Become a Ron Paul Precinct Captain, find out more about your Precinct Conventions and how to become a Precinct Chair, canvass your precinct, organize with other Precinct Captains, find other people to be Precinct Chairs or Ron Paul Delegates in other precincts, educate people on the Precinct Chair office and Central Committee, take back the Republican Central Committees)
2. Get as many Ron Paul voters as possible. (print media ads, canvassing, get physical information into people's hands such as fliers/newspaper ads)
3. Get the Ron Paul voters to the polls and Precinct Conventions. (phone calls, cars, buses, whatever it takes)
4. Get as many precincts with Democrat freedom movement Precinct Chairs as possible. Take back the Democrat Central Committees.
5. Take control of the Party Central Committees and elect Ron Paul Delegates, endorse freedom movement people for local offices, and ensure fair elections.
