What Is Victory?
Victory is a statewide Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) program dedicated to cultivating, energizing, and training grassroots volunteers to ensure Republican success at the polls on Election Day. The program is chaired by former Secretary of State Roger Williams. In November 2008, roughly 2 million new voters will cast ballots in our state. Texas Victory 2008 will utilize the latest technology like never before in prior elections to target Republican voters and drive them to the polls. Victory ‘08 will be the most rigorous GOTV effort this state has ever seen and it will ensure a strong Victory for our presidential nominee, Senator Cornyn and the rest of the Republican ticket.
Victory will:
- Assist counties in identifying GOP and likely GOP voters that have moved into Texas for voter registration.
- Work with county parties to open volunteer headquarters and phone banks in targeted counties.
- Coordinate volunteer activities in targeted counties.
- Print and distribute campaign materials.
Why is a Victory effort important for the 2008 election cycle?
Democrats took control of all countywide offices in Dallas County in 2006, even though the democratic vote did not increase from 2002. The sad truth is if we would have had a comprehensive plan to get out our vote out in 2006, we would have won. If it can happen in Dallas County, it can happen anywhere.
We must spend necessary resources to get out our vote out or we will lose.
