WHY INDEPENDENTS SHOULD REGISTER AS REPUBLICANS IN UPPER UWCHLAN

REASONS TO CHANGE YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION:

• As an Independent you cannot vote in a Primary Election - This means your opinions are not heard at the most vital time in the election cycle
• As a Republican in Chester County, you get elected representatives in your precinct to help carry your opinions to the Party - This means your opinions ARE heard where it counts
• As a Republican in Chester County, you get a path to participate in township, county, state and national government- Want to be part of good government but don't know how? Join us
• As a Republican in Chester County, you get a party big enough to welcome divergent views - Conservatives and moderates share their views equally, thereby making our party organization stronger
• As a Republican in Chester County, you get a party with a demonstrated history of successful, responsible service to all residents - Republicans have orchestrated sound fiscal and administrative management at the County level for over 150 years
• As a Republican in Chester County, you get a party dedicated to maintaining quality of life- Do you like the living environment in Chester County? Republicans have been at the forefront of protecting that environment at all levels of government
• As a Republican in Upper Uwchlan, you get a local party committee involved in township government at all levels - The UU Committee has members and former members at all levels of local government, including Supervisors, District Justice, Tax Collector and UU committees and task forces
• As a Republican in Upper Uwchlan, you get two local party representatives, a man and a woman in each precinct, who interview and "vet" candidates seeking Republican endorsement for county government and state legislative offices- All county office candidates come before our Upper Uwchlan Committee twice (once in small "Area" meetings and once in a county convention) where we question them about their qualifications for office on your behalf
• AND THE BEST REASON: As a registered Republican you can do all of the above - have a say on issues and candidates, take part in all levels of government and make your opinions known to your local elected party representatives - and STILL VOTE INDEPENDENTLY IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!

YOU CAN'T CONTRIBUTE AS EFFECTIVELY AS AN INDEPENDENT

Let's face it: the voice of an Independent is just not as credible as it could be. The biggest reason why is that most local elections are won or lost in the Primary and independents have no voice there; less attention is paid to them, therefore. This is sad, but true.

So, you have a choice: lose your voice as an Independent or chose a party to work within to make that voice heard. The Upper Uwchlan Republican Committee has the people and the organization to recognize that voice. Make a difference in Chester County and Upper Uwchlan Township by joining the Republican team.
