Notes From The Road: Voter Vault 3

It's cloudy and 35 degrees right now in our nation's capital. Garrett and I are here and just finished up a two day, in-depth intensive training on the Republican National Committee's Voter Vault 3 system. All I can say is: What an amazing product!

With Voter Vault 3, you as a PC, party activist, county chairman, candidate, or campaign manager can create walk lists, generate walking maps, target voters, develop mail and phone lists, tag voters based on issue, and much, much more.

As party building and campaigns are an ever evolving process, Voter Vault 3 has become an essential tool for anyone involved in the Republican Party. What's more is that Voter Vault 3 is eons ahead of anything the Democrats have.

Now that Garrett and I are fully trained on this revolutionary system, we will be scheduling Voter Vault training sessions throughout the state in the very near future. If you are a PC, party leader, or candidate and have not yet requested access to Voter Vault 3, e-mail either Garrett or myself at garcher@azgop.org or bmecum@azgop.org and we will get you the Voter Vault 3 Access Agreement.

Garrett and I are now on to the RNC's New Media Training School, we'll give you an update on the new technologies available to get our message out tomorrow. And we are also looking forward to leaving the cold Mid-Atlantic and getting back home to sunny Arizona.

All the best,

Brett

Pullen: "To do our job, we must unite."

Statement from Chairman Pullen to Maricopa EGC

Phoenix, AZ—Executive Director Sean McCaffrey read the following statement to the members of the Maricopa County Republican Committee’s Executive Guidance Committee on behalf of Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen, who was in Washington, DC to support our nominee at the C-PAC conference.

“In 270 days, voters from Arizona and across America will elect a new president. With Governor Romney’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race, our party’s nominee will be our own Arizona US Senator John McCain. Let me state once again, our Republican nominee for president will be Arizona US Senator John McCain. His opponent on in November will be either Senator Hillary Clinton or Senator Barack Obama. Over the next 270 days, the better part of half a billion dollars will be spent by both sides determining our next president.

“Over the next four years, the federal government will collect and spend more than thirteen trillion of our tax dollars. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of American soldiers will be deployed around the world, many of them directly in harm’s way. Who would we rather trust with the paychecks we earn or with the lives of our sons and daughters: Senator John McCain, or the winner of the Clinton-Obama primary?

“Some in Arizona have had differences with Senator McCain. Every family has differences among its members. We cannot be a strong family, however, if we don’t unite at the end of the day. Republicans have a tremendous advantage going into November knowing our nominee perhaps months ahead of the Democrats. We can’t let that slip away by focusing on our past differences when we can unite around our many similarities.

“My friends, we have a much better hope of continuing our work to reduce taxes, reduce wasteful spending, protect our nation, support our troops, improve schools, fix our health care system, reform entitlements, and address the issues we care about with a Republican president than a Democrat president determined to work against us aligned with a Democrat Congress determined to work against us.

“Our job as a political party is specifically to elect Republicans to office. That is why the Republican Party was first created and it remains our singular mission today. To do our job, we must unite. From the court house to the state house to the White House, to do our job we must unite. Though I cannot be with you tonight, I ask you to join me in putting past differences behind us and turning our full attention to the future and these 270 days which will fly by so quickly we’ll soon wonder where the time has gone.

“Our opponents, who seek to divide us, want to take control of the legislature. They want to deprive us of the opportunity to win back CD5 and CD8. They want to steal CD1 away from the Republican column. And they honestly believe they can be competitive in CD3 against John Shadegg. If we are united and focused, they cannot be successful, and 2008 will be a year of true Republican resurgence in our state. Thank you and God bless.”
