Help Wanted

You may have already heard of the big training bomb American Majority was putting on nationwide yesterday to teach activists how to get inside their party and change its direction by governing the party from within. If you missed the big national AM Precinct training day, you still have one remaining chance: Los Angeles!

If you know an activist in or visiting the LA area who needs this training, please forward this email to them!

Due to the CA Republican convention, we weren't able to sync with the rest of the country and have our training on Constitution Day, Saturday September 17, so we scheduled the LA event for the following week: September 24, 2011 in Los Angeles. If you're going to be in or near LA, you'll want to mark this on your calendar, register, and attend.

What will I learn?

Most importantly, you'll learn how to…

One of our fondest ambitions seems to be coming true.  The far left Democrats have noticed our Precinct Committeeman effort via our sister site Concord Project (which we have always linked to at right and where many of us co-author) and are saying that they need to replicate our efforts!  If they are as successful as they hope to be, they will drive many centrist Democrats and independents straight into the arms of our Republican candidates - perhaps even resulting in some party re-registrations. 

 

Although the 'Precinct Committeeman Strategy' has not been nearly as successful as Thom would like to beleive, he does accidentally deconstruct one important leftist myth: the Tea Party movement is not an astroturf movement.  It is truly a grassroots…

Remember the Dale Robertson guy with the N-word sign who is founder of teaparty.org (disavowed by most real tea party organizations)? Well, he's gone and done it again. And I fell for it.

The days of knocking on doors, walking precincts and direct mail campaigning to efficiently gather voters may soon be dwarfed if the vision of a handful of Patriots comes to fruition.

(Yes, the email and the web site really say that.) Now if you know me, you know that I know a bit about about online electioneering and software meant for that purpose, mobile, web and desktop.



Heck ever since before the days of the GOP Tech Summit, the old Online Action Center project and the successful deployment of PROCINCT, I've been wanting to dwarf the days of knocking on doors and direct mail campaigning to efficiently gather voters, so when I got the email announcing UniTEA Mobile, why I sat right up on my hind legs and started panting, in spite of the poor choice of… Continue

The pricing for campaign tech is in free-fall.   If we applied a sort of  pricing version of Moore's Law to online campaign software, you'd have the picture.  Capabilites expand arithmetically, while the price drop is almost logarithmic.

That's only a tiny exaggeration (mathematically) but better illustrated with a direct comparison: the same technology that gleaned Obama's campaign web site 400,000 online volunteers and $750 million in contributions is now available to the tiniest county party or town council member campaign for as low as $19/month.

The short story is that with a new platform called NationBuilder, you can recruit activists online and build your volunteer base just like Obama did with his million-dollar web site in 2008 - but it will cost you much, much less.  You may have access to a great GOTV voter…

It was a finish to an event worthy of the finest televangelist.  

No exaggeration.  

The first-ever PC Strategy breakout session at a major national event, last week's RightOnline received such an enthusiastic response that the finish literally looked like a successful altar call at the end of a highly enegetic revival meeting.

It almost overshadowed the actual content of the tutorial.  

The deans of Precinct Committeeman work, 'Cold Warrior' of AZ, Kirsten Lombard of WI, Jim Hahn of MN, John Fowler of TX and Loren Heal of IL all presented their takes on the ease and effectiveness of Precinct Committeeman work to take back our country and change our party.  Tireless activist Loren Heal blogs on Redstate about his own presentation at the breakout here.

 

Because of Youtube limitations, we have to present the entire session is segments…

It's not the comprehensive solution that rVotes is, but rVotes is early-early in the product life cycle and thus may seem expensive or distant in certain locales where the requisite fundraising or adoption cycle may be long and difficult... or just 'politically' difficult.

 

Victory should not be deferred due to a current lack of funds, so I want to tell you about a solution that may help your local party cause without breaking the bank while you wait for your state party to become convinced of the efficacy of acquiring rVotes, or wait for your local Tea Parties to raise the requisite funds for rVotes.

 

That solution is NationBuilder and the solution starts out at $19/month, so it's affordable for any party district, county or state.  You can see my own real-world implementation of NationBuilder at…
