Time To Get Involved In Politics

A great post from Jo at FoxPolitics.net.

How to run for political office.
"
American Majority does a great job at campaign schools – and they’ll be in the area January 18, 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM for a “micro-training.” All the details are here. Registration is free, though donations are welcome to cover the costs of materials and the program. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.

Topics to be covered during the training include:

* The Candidate: Ensuring you are on the ballot and other important information
* The Administration and Committee: Who is going to be most involved
* Communication: Strategy, messaging, medium, and positioning tactics
* Fundraising and Budget: Where is the money going to come from and how will it be spent
* Voters: Finding information on who votes, contacting voters through direct contact and GOTV efforts, and volunteers

Full training materials, samples and supplements will be provided to help you apply what you learn to your organization, candidate, cause or community. Food and beverages will be provided. "

It's time for some of you to get off your duff and take back our country. This is for anyone from dog catcher, town chair and supervisor to the sky's the limit.

Go run for office. No guts, no glory.
