Wow, what a day! A fantastic day of, quite frankly, world class training on being a more effective grass roots activist.<\/p>\n
More than 50 activists received training on tactics, tactical skills, and effective political activism from Campaign For Liberty’s Senior Consultant for State Operations, Kirk Shelley.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For some this class increased their knowledge, while for others it was crash course in the realities of effective political activism.<\/p>\n
In addition, to the training by Mr. Shelley, the activists were treated to presentations by Jeff Greenspan on Prop 13 Arizona (a citizen’s initiative to reform Arizona’s convoluted, unfair, and quite probably illegal property tax scheme-if it wasn’t being done by the government of course); Shawn Dow of CameraFraud (a citizen’s initiative to remove the unconstitutional photo cameras<\/span> surveillance cameras for our roads); and Tim Cox of GOOH (Get Out Of Our House).<\/p>\n Other items covered were the roles, importance, and process of becoming a Precinct Committeeman in your political party (R, D, L).<\/p>\n Back to the training, the “Tactical Skills” training module covered not only tactics that are useful to a grass activist, but, quite possibly even more important, those tactics that are used by politicians against us. “The Complete Activist School” modules taught the “Real Nature of Politics”: from what politics is and is not; how to evaluate not only politicians but their legislation; how to fight effectively for you cause; and possibly most important, “when” to fight.<\/p>\n Feeling you missed out? Don’t worry, this was the just our first training school and due to the overwhelming response and success, we will be offering another class in Phoenix in April and hopefully, classes in Flag, Tucson, Payson, Kingman and more. No promises, but we will make every effort to see you in these areas.<\/p>\n Also, between now and then, probably March, we will be holding Precinct Committeeman\/Canvassing Training in numerous parts of the valley and state.<\/p>\n REMEMBER, IF YOU ARE A CURRENTLY A PRECINCT COMMITTEEMAN, WHETHER ELECTED OR APPOINTED YOU MUST RUN FOR RE-ELECTION AT THIS PRIMARY ELECTION IN SEPT. More to follow on this VITAL subject in the coming days. Stay tuned, watch for the emails, and check the website.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, I know that 50 grassroots activists left the class able to advance our cause more effectively than they could have that morning.<\/p>\n No more feeling like they are speaking to a brick wall for this crowd.<\/p>\n Thanks, By Andre Wow, what a day!
