Cordele, GA Activist Training

This year, as town council, school board and other local elections are held across the nation, voters are getting involved like never before and are standing up to demand accountability and responsibility from their elected officials. As states face critical budget issues, town councils have to decide whether to cut spending or raise local taxes, and corrupt elected officials are taken to task, our country needs patriots who are organized, effective and ready to stand for lower taxes, transparency, and Constitutional government.

American Majority will be conducting an activist training session in Cordele, Georgia on Saturday, October 22nd, sponsored by Brad Faircloth and Misdemeanor Probation. The event will be geared toward giving grassroots activists in Georgia the resources and information that will help them utilize timeless tactics proven to win elections for their chosen candidates, as well as cutting-edge technology meant to streamline and facilitate voter contact. Topics addressed at the training include:

-      Precinct Work: Learn the importance of researching, “microtargeting,” and “hardwiring” the most basic building blocks of the electoral map: precincts. A strategy based on these small groups of voters can make or break an election.

-      GOTV: An age-old acronym meaning “Get out the vote!” Learn time-tested tactics that will bring voters to the polls for your candidate on election day.

-      Community Organizing for Freedom: The Left has spent decades building a permanent political infrastructure in their communities that can be relied upon to deliver electoral victory year after year. Learn their tactics and use them to counter-organize for the cause of liberty.

The training will be held at the Ramada Inn in Cordele, located at  2016 16th Ave. East, Cordele, GA 31015 from 9:00AM-2:00PM. Lunch and training materials will be provided.
