HTG (and anyone else with experience at this):
Evidently I am a precinct committeeman, now. I was expecting an additional step. Something along the lines of getting the endorsement (via signature gathering) of registered Republicans in my legislative district... but I guess I don't have to do that. All I ended up doing was filling out a form and saying "I'd like to be a PC, please... kthxbai." No confirmation letter or anything.
Our first function was a Statutory Organizational Meeting and I (as well as many other people) did not get my notice letter with enough time to free up my schedule and attend. There were a lot of complaints made in regards to this, so our SOM was rescheduled with the requisite 10 days notice that the bylaws demand. That's coming up this weekend.
So, I get to vote for office holders of our Legislative District committee. And I get to vote for members going to the State Committee. And there's some small bylaw changes that are proposed that we vote on.
How do I figure out for whom to vote?
Will there be time for each candidate to briefly state his/her beliefs and goals? Or am I supposed to know this info somehow through "the grapevine" despite the fact that I'm new blood and haven't been around any of these people before?
