			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may, or may not know, committeemen elections are coming up for the spring. To be able to run you must get the 10 signatures of registured republicans in your votin division between February 16 and March 6 to get on the ballot. So now is the time to prepare. In our last cycle, the Republician Party, filled less than a third of the Committeeman positions in Philadelphia, and we&#8217;ve been paying for it ever since. So if you care to have change in our city then you are someone who should become a Committee person. If you hold an elective party office, then that is a good stepping stone to run for public office. So if you or anyone else is intrested, contact me at <a href="Mailto:macam@cccplaw.com">macam@ccplaw.com</a> or call me at (215)735-1060</p>
