Republicans, become active in town GOP committees

BRATTLEBORO — Everyone who lives in Windham County can join other like-minded voters and help the Republican Party organize your town's GOP committee.

Help bring balance back to the legislature in Montpelier. What are your hot issues: Unconscionable waste? Burdensome taxes? Guns rights? A non-representative legislature wasting time and money? Respect for life at any stage of development? Religious liberty?

The process begins with organizing town committees this Wednesday, Sept. 13.

Did you know that as few as three registered voters in a town can officially organize a town GOP committee that will be recognized by the state of Vermont and the Vermont Republican Party?

That means that one couple and a neighbor or family member can take a concrete step to influence the makeup of the state legislature and the direction of our party in the state.

Be a community organizer for your hot-button issues, for your issues, your concerns, and your point of view. This is America; this is Vermont.

How? By law, every two years, all parties must reorganize their political committees. September is the month for town committee reorganization; every town in Windham County needs to be reorganized this year.

October is set aside for county reorganization. And November is the month for the state level reorganization. You could even be on your party's state committee.

By the way, the same rules apply for all parties, so you can contact the leader of the party of your choice.

I can tell you where Republican meetings are planned and the steps involved in organizing one if you want to do that.

If you are at all interested in participating, observing, or just finding out what is going on, contact me at 802-257-2780.

Think of it - no more yelling at your TV.
