By American Majority Team | June 18, 2010 |

Growing up, my favorite verse was found in the book of Joshua- “Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you will go.”  I was flying home after conducting a training in Spokane, WA two weekends ago and as…

Last night here in Topeka, we held a mini candidate training, Running for Office 101.  Candidates for state legislative and statewide elected positions attended to learn about running an effective campaign.  Afterwards, one of the volunteers approached me and asked why we give out so much information for free on our website when many campaign…

Asking for Help

By American Majority Team | May 21, 2010 |

My friend in the Texas office of American Majority, Andrew Kerr, wrote a great blog post about the importance of running to win- after all, those good ideas you have as a candidate will never be implemented if you do not first get elected. He’s right- you do need to raise money, walk door to…

Thoughts on our American Inheritance

By American Majority Team | March 19, 2010 |

When I was growing up, my grandma always displayed a refrigerator magnet that read “I’m spending my children’s inheritance.” I’m a big fan of inheriting things.  In fact, my husband and I kept our last names when we married specifically to pass down to future children the inheritance of our respective family legacies.  One can…

Ron Michel, 70: Who said social media is only for Gen Y?

By American Majority Team | February 24, 2010 |

As I’ve crossed the country training conservative activists, I’ve run into more than a few individuals who believe that social media and web based tools are impossible for people over 25 to comprehend. It doesn’t matter how heavily I emphasize the point, someone invariably makes a comment (or at least skeptically rolls their eyes) disparaging…
