Conservative Group Hits Major Milestone in Developing New Human Infrastructure to Counter Left

Purcellville, VA…March 21st, 2012—American Majority, the nation’s leading conservative grassroots training organization has passed a major milestone in their mission to develop a new conservative infrastructure to protect America, having now trained 20,000 candidates and activists.  The milestone was reached this past weekend at an American Majority training in Pittsburgh, PA attended by more than 200 local tea party and other conservative activists.

“We’ve come farther and faster than any other organization in training this number of activists and candidates,” states Ned Ryun, Founder and President of American Majority.  “In only three years, we’ve trained more than 20,000 citizens on the ground in nearly all fifty states who are committed to the principles of limited government and individual freedom.  It is just the beginning of creating a strong force of liberty-minded activists to keep America free.

American Majority trainings and materials are part of a proprietary, cutting-edge curriculum of advanced political tactics.  The curriculum includes policy education, messaging, precinct organization, Get-Out-the-Vote operations, fundraising and social media.  American Majority’s Twitivism guide is widely viewed as the leading manual for using Twitter as a tool to inform and mobilize conservatives.

Since January 2009, American Majority has conducted more field trainings than any other conservative grassroots organization having brought their curriculum to nearly all fifty states through more than 560 training sessions.  Among those trained have been more than 2,000 candidates for local, state and federal office, the majority of which have gone on to win their elections and be a force for fiscal conservative policies.

“For too long, conservatives have been out-organized by the Left’s well funded, well trained ground operation,” states Ryun.  “American Majority set out to counter that progressive organizing power one group, one community at a time – and with the help of hundreds of local organizations we are seeing results.”

In addition to its trainings, American Majority has also developed a number of ground-breaking programs to strengthen the conservative movement.  In February 2012, they launched a NASCAR outreach effort and PledgetoVote.com including the sponsorship of the #81 MacDonald Motorsports car for the entire Nationwide racing season.

After the 2010 elections, American Majority launched its New Leaders Project set out to recruit more than 10,000 additional candidates for local and state office for the coming election cycle.  In, 2011 the group held the nation’s first Constitution Day Training Bomb, holding grassroots training classes in more than a dozen cities simultaneously.

“We’ve developed an advanced curriculum of tactics that has been so effective over the last three years that even progressive groups are starting to take notice,” states Ryun.  “We’re just getting started.  I’d like to thank all the local activists we have worked with and partnered with over the last three years to reach this important benchmark.”

 GRASSROOTS TRAIN FOR RUMBLE WITH OBAMA ON CONSTITUTION DAY

American Majority Leads Historic Event to Train Tea Party Activists in More than a Dozen Cities

 New York, NY (September 16, 2011) – On the heels of another so-called stimulus proposal and more outrageous comments by union leaders and liberal politicians, tea party and other conservative grassroots activists are getting ready to rumble with Obama in 2012 over America’s future. With personal and economic freedom in peril like never before, American Majority has brought together tea party members and liberty-minded activists in more than a dozen cities to train to defend American values on Constitution Day, September 17th.  The American Majority “Training Bomb” is the largest single-day conservative grassroots training initiative in history.  For the first time, simultaneous sessions across America will be held to educate and mobilize fiscally conservative activists and future candidates to fight for limited government and free market principles.

“This isn’t a rally and it’s not a summit.  This hasn’t been done before.  The “Training Bomb” is an unprecedented effort to help local tea party groups organize for real action and real change,” states Ned Ryun, President of American Majority who adapted the concept from the popular “money bomb” grassroots technique used by national campaigns.  “Local activists know we need to reduce the impact of government on our lives to make America stronger.  There’s no better day than Constitution Day to bring Americans together to learn how they can ensure we continue to live in a free society.”

Both activist and candidate courses will be offered at each location to help the conservative cause organize for victory next year.  Topics will range from the fundamentals of successful political operations and hardwiring precincts to communicating policy and online image management. The Training Bomb sessions are being held in New York, NY, Tulsa, OK, Dallas, TX, Nashville, TN, Appleton, WI, Fayetteville, NC, Indianapolis, IN, Chicago, IL, Hartland, VT, Troy, MI, Daytona Beach, FL, Scottsdale, AZ, Loveland, CO, and Cincinnati, OH.

“Tea Party members and other conservative grassroots activists are under attack,” states Ryun.  “They’ve been maligned by advocates of a desperate, leftist ideology that is bereft of ideas and threatening our way of life.  The Training Bomb’s goal is to educate and engage our rank-and-file fight for principles the majority of Americans support – smaller, less intrusive government.”

To organize this nation-wide effort, American Majority is working closely with many of the most effective grassroots groups in the nation such as the Dallas Tea Party, New York’s Tea Party 365, 9.12 Project Tennessee, and Right Turn Colorado.

Over the last two years American Majority, the nation’s leading grassroots training organization, has trained nearly 20,000 conservative activists and candidates in nearly all 50 states.

“The Training Bomb’s goal is to educate and engage as many rank-and-file volunteers and leaders as possible,” continues Ryun.  “We will beat back the encroachment of government on our personal and economic freedom by ensuring Americans are trained on the fundamentals of successful political operations be it communicating policy, hardwiring a precinct, get-out-the-vote techniques, or online image management,” states Ryun.  Over the last two years American Majority, the nation’s leading grassroots training organization, has trained nearly 20,000 conservative activists and candidates in more than 40 states.

The effort is meant to complement American Majority’s New Leaders Project (NLP) which is designed to recruit 10,000 future candidates from local tea party groups for the 2012 cycle.  The NLP recently announced its 500^th organization to sign the program’s recruitment pledge bringing the program halfway to its goal of engaging 1,000 groups.  American Majority will train all recruits in a variety of areas from fiscal policy to campaign management to mobilization.
