Immediately following the election for Harris County Probate Court Number 1 on Monday evening, we held our HCRP Grassroots Campaign kickoff event downtown at the Jury Assembly Room. The Republican precinct chairmen in attendance, who are integral to the 2008 campaign, were given an overview of our 2008 grassroots campaign and then asked for a pledge to participate as the Precinct Leader. 278 Precinct Chairmen signed pledges on Monday night and were given a Grassroots Campaign packet that included the tools necessary to kick off the campaign in their individual precincts. As we roll out each phase of the campaign, our Precinct Leaders will receive additional materials applicable to that phase. Our Precinct Leaders will also receive constant communication from the HCRP about the progress of the campaign in the form of e-mail news flashes, instructional guides and periodic conference calls with HCRP leadership and elected officials.
