About American Majority
The conservative Ryun twins are savvy operatives. They have embraced the new version of the old wizardry. They are actively rebuilding the conservative political machine from the ground up.

The Organization
At American Majority, we believe that real political change begins at the local level.
It is going to take engaged citizens working together in their communities to effectively implement freedom on a national level. We believe that individual liberty will only be achieved through limited government and free markets and that by training candidates and activists to be effective towards those goals today, we will enhance tomorrow.
American Majority is a national non-profit, non-partisan political training institute whose mission is to train and equip a national network of leaders committed to individual freedom through limited government and the free market. Headquartered in Purcellville, Virginia, we currently have state offices in Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas, with plans to open additional state offices in 2010.
Our organizational philosophy remains centered around the grassroots. We work hard to ensure our premier training programs are accessible to activists and candidates around the country. Since our inception in 2008, we have held hundreds of trainings in dozens of states, providing resources and education to thousands of candidates and grassroots activists.
We continue our work through generous gifts from private citizens and foundations who understand the value of our efforts. While we have come a long way in such a short period, we are confident the best is yet to come.

Our Commitment
But American Majority focuses specifically at the grassroots, at the local level…American Majority goes into the local communities and finds those leaders and then teaches them not only how to run and win campaigns, but how to navigate the politics and policies of their new offices.
- The American Spectator, June 2009
At American Majority, we believe that power should rest with the individual citizens, and that makes us different from other, more traditional political nonprofits which operate in a top-down system. We advocate for increased citizen involvement in the political process, defining our success through the achievements of our training attendees and partners. Our goal is to empower the individual to take back the country our forefathers fought for.
Other political nonprofits ask for your money, your time, your volunteer efforts- and then attempt to make decisions on your behalf. At American Majority, we seek to help every American make wiser, more powerful decisions to better their lives and the lives of their families. We are a liberty-minded political training institute dedicated to the freedom of the individual and freedom in the marketplace; we are committed to this mission, and to the people we train. Entirely funded by true grassroots, liberty-minded citizens like you, we receive no government stimulus funds and don’t answer to a big liberal backer. Our small, results-oriented staff ensures that small contributions of time, energy and effort go a long way. Our belief in the American people has helped our staff of just over a dozen train thousands of candidates, activists and college students since our inception just a short time ago. With your help, we look ahead to even greater success in advancing the liberty movement in 2010 and beyond.
