IDAHO PRESS
— Ensure lasting liberty by getting involved – TOM LUNA
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Organization and how they have treated Republican Precinct Committeemen in Illinois, in DuPage County, and Milton Township since 2000.)
https://www.idahopress.com/opinion/guest_opinions/guest-opinion-ensure-lasting-liberty-by-getting-involved/article_6f9a5c03-3aac-5f5a-bf95-444662eae10b.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: There are also many grassroots opportunities in your local communities. The best leadership is local leadership, and Idaho has a strong network of local leaders. Each county has a Republican Central Committee that organizes, campaigns, and elects Republican candidates. Each central committee is comprised of precinct committee people, who are elected during primary elections every two years. Each voting precinct has a committee person (these are your neighbors!), so contact your local precinct committeeman and ask how you can become involved. It’s easy. You can visit idgop.org/county-parties for contacts in your community.)
