Help Me to Help Yourself

 As your elected Republican Precinct Committeeman for Precinct 187, (your precinct) in Legislative District 9.  I am asking your help. There are currently three Precinct Committeeman in precinct 187 charged with supporting 1200 republican voters.

What is a Precinct Committeeman, and why would I care?

A Republican Precinct Committeeman (PC) represents the GOP voters of his or her precinct at the County Republican Party level. But most importantly, a Republican Precinct Committeeman is the face of the GOP within the precinct. Arizona law defines a party's neighborhood leaders as Precinct Committeemen, who are elected by voters and have a duty to help their fellow Republicans vote. The state of Arizona is divided into 30 Legislative Districts. The Legislative District (LD) is the basic political operating unit.

I am not asking you to become a Precinct Committeeman (though that would be nice), I am asking that you provide me contact information so that I can represent you more effectively. Not long ago, I was serving as you are now by being a reliable Republican voter.  Upon retiring, I sought more involvement by becoming a PC. I was rewarded with information.  I met and am meeting monthly with the PCs of LD9, where we hear from candidates and your elected representatives.

Being a PC would be a lot of work if I did it correctly. The traditional way of contacting you is by showing up at your door and answering your questions  and helping resolve any issues you have with government ( a big job). I find that some voters are not happy with me showing up in this manner, and the chance that you are home when I decide to visit can be low. Instead, I am proposing that you provide me with your preferred means for communicating, to lighten my load. We could communicate any way that works for you to include phone, mail, email, newsletter, website, or in person.

Following I am providing a variety of options for contacting me:
email: farnswdave@gmail.com
mail: David Farnsworth, 1500 W. Dutton Pl, Tucson Az.
Post to my web site by emailing to :farnswd.ld9p187member@blogger.com

phone me at (520)360-6965

A method I would prefer is to meet for coffee at a local establishment (preferably with WIFI) so we can converse and I would have the resources of the internet to answer your questions. We could set this up by one of the other channels of communication.  If you wanted to gang up on me, you could  bring friends. I would be willing to meet weekly if we could establish a time and place. (or you could just drop in and drop out when you liked) If we run out of things to do, I can show you how to work your smart phone.
