AUSTIN TEA PARTY - PRECINCT PACKAGE INFORMATION

HELLO, AUSTIN, and surrounding areas! We are now at week two in our Precinct Project Schedule. If you are getting a slow start, not to worry, week one was familiarizing yourself with the package, and we are providing some websites to help you get your information for your county. Here are the descriptions for Week One and Week Two activities:

Week 1: Preparation - Read through the materials in the packet. Refer questions to precincts@greaterhoustontea.org and make sure you are familiar with all the items included.

Week 2: Team Building - You might start developing a team from your local precinct. (If you need help doing that, let us know. We can send out an email invitation for members from your precinct.) You might invite them to come together for an initial meeting and give them copies of the packet information to read over and discuss. Compare schedules and create a basic calendar to keep track of activities. Plot on the precinct map where all members live.

Week 3: Voter Registration - Obtain 50-100 Voter Registration cards from the County Tax Office and distribute to the team.  Request a precinct list for your precinct.

Week 4: Precinct List - Divide precinct list between team members and look for residences with no voters listed.  Create a list of all residences with no registered voter.
