- Civic involvement at its best
Besides attending the precinct caucus on Monday February 7 , as we are sure help may be needed in running the various precinct caucus, consider volunteering to do so by attending a training session for helpers on January 11, — information below.
If you have attended a caucus in the past you will know that while there is an important agenda they are pretty low-key affairs in the non-presidential years. The following is from the Scott County Republican website https://scottcountyrepublicans.org.

The actual precinct caucuses will be held on Monday February 7th. Locations are centralized usually into a few local school buildings where registered Republicans caucus in assigned rooms according to precinct of residence. The Scott County Republican website will soon presumably post the locations (building locations and the precincts assigned to that building) and caucus starting times.
The precinct caucuses in the non-presidential years are important to the creation of timely platforms, and to the election (all positions are voluntary) of county central committee members (two from each precinct) and to elect delegates to the district and state republican conventions ( usually two or more depending on precinct size).
The county central committee positions (two year terms) are important to electing local Republican leadership and serving with them going into the critical 2022 election cycle and preparing for the crucial 2024 Presidential caucuses, and helping to insure evenhandedness toward contenders for Republican nominations for all positions between now and then.
The delegate positions are important to carry forward platform sentiment, elect district and state leadership and they have statutory authority to determine party nominees if ballot positions are not filled after the June primary election.
The responsibilities of the positions (a person can serve as both or can be an alternate to the delegate position) will be further explained at the caucuses or one can make inquiry by contacting Scott County republican headquarters at [email protected] or phone 563-823-5854 or monitor their website https://scottcountyrepublicans.org
It is our hope here at V’PAC that timely platform resolutions (along with timeless resolutions in support of conservative policies on right to life, taxes, constitutional rights etc) will be set forth. We hope there will be resolutions in opposition to mask and mRNA injection mandates, against shutdowns and Big Tech censorship, in support of removing immunity from Big Pharma regarding the mRNA “vaccines” and opposing other assaults on important political and cultural freedoms and the excesses of the “public health” nazis.
We hope there will be stated opposition to the Biden Build Back Better agenda and to set straight those Republicans who have hazarded the republic in various ways by unnecessarily facilitating Biden’s agenda with procedural and rules votes. We hope the civil rights outrages inflicted on January 6 2021 demonstrators will be addressed . . . we hope for mandatory audits nationwide of presidential elections and prohibitions on private entities funding official electoral activities.
So much more can and ought to be addressed to give assertive direction to Republican leadership in the legislatures. This site is willing to post proposals in the interest of others chiming in to fine tune resolutions and for proponents to explain them.
We do hope conservatives will encourage family and friends to attend their precinct caucus and support a conservative agenda.
