Escondido, CA Candidate and Activist Training

March 26, 2010

Our nation was founded by ordinary citizen activists desiring a government that was accountable to the people.  Today, ordinary citizens across our nation are tired of the status quo and ready to engage for the betterment of their communities.

American Majority in association with North County Conservatives, As a Mom of San Diego, and the Abigail Adams Project/Homemakers for America is hosting a Candidate and Activist Training (Separate Tracks) on Friday, April 23rd, at the Escondido Joslyn Senior Center located at 210 Park Avenue in Escondido, CA. The training will run from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM with registration beginning at 5:00 PM.

Candidate Track

Regardless of campaign experience, American Majority’s Candidate Training Program makes running for office easier! American Majority Candidate Training seminars are designed specifically to educate candidates on every level how to run effective and victorious campaigns and prepare them to become successful elected officials.

The Candidate Training Program includes:

  • Lectures* from campaign veterans, including:
    • “Your Campaign Plan to Win: Planning for the Time, People and Money to Win.”

Upon completion of the seminar, candidates will receive continuing education materials, access to podcasts and other presentations, communications curriculum, and suggestions to help them utilize think-tank resources.

Activist Track

2009 saw the resurgence of liberty-minded activists in America.  In 2010, American Majority believes that it is time to move beyond protesting to implementing change.  How does this happen?  The American Majority Activist Training Program provides the tools and resources to organize and implement our activism effectively.  The training is practical so that you can get trained today and start effecting change in your community tomorrow.

Topics Include:

  • “Building Coalitions and Reaching Your Community” (ideas and practical steps to engage your community and organize a coalition of volunteers)
  • “Government 101” (how government operates, how legislative and executive bodies work, how to get involved)
  • “Holding Government Accountable” (how to hold leaders accountable once they are in office)
  • “Effectively Communicating Your Views” (how to write effective letters to the editor, opinion editorials and blogs, using social networking tools and wiki projects)

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