You GO Michigan Tea Parties!

Lake Wylie Pilot, an interesting publication, has a great story of how the tea parties in Michigan worked diligently, patiently, and with great focus to win several hundred delegate seats recently at their Republican state convention.

From the article:

Now, the activists are positioned for an attempt to push the Michigan GOP further to the right and put hard-core conservatives on November’s general election ballot.

The tea party’s bid to capitalize on its delegate coup, which caught veteran Republican activists by surprise, is an important test for a national movement seeking concrete political impact.

and …

The tea partiers won the positions by running their members in precinct elections, which normally attract few candidates, and then turning out in force at many county GOP meetings to support the winners for state convention slots.

Other than actually running for elected office yourself, becoming a precinct delegate and having a voice in your local county GOP meetings, and the state convention is the surest way to move the Republican platform to the right … and back to conservative, Constitutional principles. Spartanburg precincts will be organizing in the Spring of 2011 and you need to begin talking to your friends in your precinct now about becoming delegates, coming out to support and vote for you. The Spartanburg Tea Party will be providing speakers and resources beginning in 2011 to learn how to join your precinct as a delegate.
