GET INVOLVED!

We are the 'boots on the ground' - the grassroots of the Republican Party, where much of the work is done. Our efforts to increase Republican voter registration, support Republican candidates, and promote Republican ideals is ongoing. There's much to be done between now and the next election, if we're to have any hope of getting Republicans elected in this VERY blue state. The 2012 Elections left the Democrats with a Super Majority in California, which means Republicans can no longer hold back the spending tide. Your involvement is not only welcome, it is key to the Party's success.

Run for local office, attend your City Council and Board of Supervisors' meetings. Volunteer, donate, call your Congressman, send a letter to the editor, and above all, participate! Here are some links to help you get started! (Note: clicking links will take you to the site, clicking the email link should open an e-mail for you, depending on your browser.)

NOTE: Updating January 2020. If you see a link that doesn't work, or outdated information, let us know. It's very helpful.
