Ok....petition season is quickly drawing to a close. I have a challenge for you...
I requested information from Doug Ibendahl regarding Precinct Committeeman positions. He is an attorney out of Chicago who has been very involved with the Precinct Committeeman Project. Their goal is to fill every vacant position so that the Republican Party is, once again, relevant in Illinois. After receiving my email, he looked up a little info on Whiteside County. He was appalled to see that out of 60 precincts, we have 5 committeeman positions filled! We need to fill these spots, folks! Let's make sure that Whiteside county is no longer irrelevant when it comes to selecting Republican leadership in Illinois!!!!!
Right now, the Democrats' involvement puts Republicans to shame. Their party members are very involved and we need to make sure that we help create a balance in IL politics. Although I am a person who will never vote based on party line and have never really identified with one party, the reality is that we have a two-party system and we have to work within it. We need to help fill these seats so that Whiteside, Lee and Ogle counties have a voice in selecting principled party leadership.

We need to step up and get involved--will you join me???
I have decided to lead by example and throw my hat in the ring for my committeeman position in the 16th precinct. We have another member who is seriously considering running for the 11th precinct. How many can we fill??? This could be very exciting and a lot of fun! Please check your voter registration for your precinct # and look at the list below.
If your precinct is vacant, PLEASE consider joining us. This is a position that allows a great deal of flexibility. For our Democrat members, I urge you to get involved in your party precincts as well! Help guide the direction of our local parties by stepping into a position where you have a say in the party leadership!
It would be awesome if we could fill every vacancy in Lee, Ogle and Whiteside counties in 2012!
Lee County begins on page 263, Ogle on page 362, and Whiteside on page 462
The Whiteside County Board is also in DESPERATE need of some new blood!
There is still time to get on the ballot! Let's make a HUGE impact on local government in 2012!
Precinct Committeeman candidates need to collect 10 signatures (12-15 would be even better) from registered Republican voters within the precinct in which you intend to run and turn in them in to the County Clerk November 28-December 5 (the earlier the better, so time is of the essence) along with the Loyalty Oath, Statement of Candidacy and the optional Statement of Economic Interest. These must all be notarized before submission--your bank should have a notary that will do this for free, or your City Clerk also provides notary services.

I hope you will give this some serious consideration and join us in rebuilding our local Republican Party!
