GOTV
- The Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) objective is to get more voters to the polls than the opposition to vote for candidates who come closest to standing for Constitutional principles of limited government, free markets, and individual freedoms. Every like-minded supporter must be reminded over and over again to vote. Candidates win or lose as a result of GOTV efforts!
