Tarrant County Republican Party Candidate Fair Straw Poll Results

The Tarrant County GOP held a Candidate Fair and Straw Poll on February 4th, 2012.  Many of our Patriots were there to support their candidate of choice in the upcoming primary election.  Please go here to see the results of the Straw Poll held that day.

Feb 4: TCGOP Candidate Fair & Straw Poll

Some of you may recall that 2 years ago NETTP put on a fantastic candidate fair, providing voters with the opportunity to speak personally with every candidate before voting.  I can’t tell you how empowering it was to go to the polls and know each candidate on the ballot!  I was able to make an educated and informed decision on public offices that I’d never even heard of prior to getting involved in the tea party!  The fair received rave reviews and really put NETTP on the map as a tea party to pay attention to.

• It gives you an opportunity to know who to vote for and why.  The candidates will not be giving speeches.  They’ll be standing at booths and speaking one-on-one with voters who approach them.  Think of it as a job interview, and ask them, “Why should I vote for you?”  You’ll learn a lot about the issues and the roles of the different offices.  And you’ll have the power to decide who best will deal with those issues and perform those roles.

• There will be a straw poll.  You’ll have a chance to cast your ballot in each race in Tarrant County, and the winners will have bragging rights that they won the TCGOP Straw Poll!  That’s a big deal.  If you think the RINOs won’t have their supporters there voting for them, think again.  We must as conservatives show up to unite behind the conservative candidates.  We most certainly don’t want the RINOs announcing that they have won!

NE Tarrant Tea Party will have a booth at this event, and we need help manning it.  We’ll divide volunteers up into several shifts to cover set up, the event itself, and tear down.  Another endeavor we are working on (a petition to get term limits on the ballot for the City of Grapevine) also needs volunteers for their booth (Better Grapevine PAC).  If you can help with either one, please email heyjuliesue@gmail.com.
