Democracy Depends On Public Participation!
Politics impacts every
facet of our lives. And that's why we all
should be involved. Political parties are the place where we meet to
discuss the issues of the day, recruit candidates, run elections,
promote or oppose legislation, and hold our government accountable.
That's not to say that political parties are perfect. Far from it.
They are always evolving. That's why they need our help to do what's right, work together, and not go off the
deep end into crazyland, complacency, or corruption. We need a
two-party system and broad public participation to keep each other
honest...or at least try. So, let's not be an "armchair patriot".
Join a political party. Your country needs you!
Hi everyone, We're building
The
Network! I'm Lynn Landes of
LynnLandes.com. Myself and a
few others recently started
The
Philly's Republican Network website and
Meetup
(PLZ JOIN!) to support the Republican
Party in Philadelphia - its candidates, events, issues,
legislation,
plus allied groups, students, and individuals – including writers,
reporters, and social media types. We're a grassroots group
and a hub of information, not officially affiliated with the GOP. Our website and meetup are simply designed to
inform and engage. On our
meetup
we post events, meetings, and election deadlines, plus we email our meetup members with the latest news and requests for assistance. We also host an "open" monthly Zoom meetup
for Republicans in Philadelphia. Feel free to email
me with any comments or questions, and to submit posts to our
meetup.
We urgently need
Republicans to become candidates, committee-people, and poll workers.
The 2026 Midterm Elections
are fast approaching,
which will include committee-people races, plus both federal and statewide offices. See
Election "Rotation" Calendar at bottom. We're
looking for great Congressional Candidates for
U.S. Congressional Districts 2, 3, and 5,
as well as for state races
and committee people.
It is critical that Republicans retain,
if not widen, control of Congress in order to ensure the success of the Trump
presidency. The Midterm Elections will
include all 435 seats in the U.S. House and
33 of the 100 seats in the
U.S. Senate. (Neither PA US Senators are up for election
in 2026).
Committee-people are the
foundation of any political party. They are elected by the voters to 4-year
terms. Committee-people then elect the ward leaders who
elect the chair of the party.
The party chair or ward leaders
can appoint committee-people, but its best that committee-people go
through the election process, which requires getting a petition and
collecting 10 signatures of Republican voters in their division to get
on the ballot for the primary election. However, candidates can skip
that step and simply "write-in" their name (and have their supporters do
the same) on both election days (primary & general).
It's a riskier strategy, but still an option. You
can request a "street list" of registered voters and their party
affiliation from the Commissioners
Office, so that you know who to contact for their signature.
Philadelphia is divided into 66 wards, each of
which is divided into from 11 to 51 divisions – 1,703 in all. Each
division can have 2 committee-people for each party. Go to
Resources below to learn more.
Join us at
City Council meetings
on Thursdays at 10 am in City Hall,
Room 400, and help increase the GOP presence and influence.
I go to almost every meeting and often make public comments. I am one of the few conservative
speakers there, so more support would be very welcome.
___________________________________________________________________
Today's Republican Party stands for "common sense" and that includes
free speech, voting integrity, government transparency, accountability,
public safety, secure borders, effective education, and meritocracy,
plus protecting our jobs, health, and resources. We may have
disagreements on certain issues, but we agree on our core "common sense"
values and the need to protect and promote them.
Philadelphia city government has been dominated by the Democrat Party
since 1952 ... as taxes and crime have gone up, student test scores have
gone down, and jobs have gone away. A culture of complacency,
incompetence, and (at times) corruption permeates city government,
as the mentally-disabled homeless, panhandlers, drug addicts, and common
criminals continue to haunt our pot-hole ridden streets.
Free speech is
systematically censored at government public meetings, while our
elections are easy to rig, either by accident or design; and too
many of our neighborhoods are strewn with litter and crumbling into rubble.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It's time for a change. It's
time for Republican leadership.
Americans' right to
"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is a right we must fight
for every day. So, let's all pitch in and do our part. Join the
Republican Party and help build a better future for all Philadelphians!
