Sandra Kahn, Precinct Delegate Committee Chair, has announced that the Saginaw County Republican Party will hold a Precinct Delegate Training session on Monday, April 30th.   

If you are a Precinct Delegate this current term (August 2010-August 2012) or if you are newly filed for the new term (August 2012-August 2014), you will want to attend this training session to learn how to make the most of your Elected Office and how to best help your County Republican Party succeed in the 2012 November election. We have many Precinct Delegate openings; so bring others who are interested in joining us in this important election year position.

The final filing date to get your name on the August Primary Election ballot for Precinct Delegate is 4:00pm, Tuesday, May 15th. For your convenience, Precinct Delegate Ballot Application forms and a Notary Public will be available at this meeting. It will have to be signed by yourself and a Notary Public and filed with the County Clerk's Office or with your local township, city or village clerk. You must know the precinct you live in to complete this form (i.e. City of Saginaw, Precinct #15). In case you are unable to attend this meeting, Precinct Delegate forms are also available at the Saginaw County Republican headquarters, 3071 Bay Road, Suite 300, Saginaw.

The training session will be held at the Saginaw Republican headquarters, 3071 Bay Road, Suite 300, Saginaw, beginning at 6:00pm with a Pizza & Politics chat, followed at 7:00pm by the program.  Topics will include Purpose of Precinct Delegates - "What, Who, Why", Misconceptions of Precinct Delegates,  and Strategy.  See you on the 30th!

Do-Nothing Senate Still Doing...Nothing                

Ron Weiser reports that it has been a very busy year so far for the Republican National Committee Finance team, but he is proud to report that their hard work is paying off.  In March, they raised more than $13.7 million and now have more cash on hand than the DNC, despite the fundraising prowess of the President.  Unfortunately, in 2010 the RNC did not have adequate funds for a superior ground game and as many as 5 Governorships, 20 House seats and 2 Senate seats were left on the table.  Ron pledges to continue working hard to ensure that this doesn't happen again and that the race will not be lost because of lack of resources to fund the ground game for our grassroots activists.
