We Must Win Locally

February 23, 2010

We like to say “all politics is local” and “national change truly begins at the local level”.  If this is true and if we as conservatives deign to make a national impact to change the current course of this country, we must acknowledge that it is imperative to win locally.

I can’t emphasize enough that in addition to promoting good-government, we must establish it as well.  This is why it is extremely important for everyday conservatives to become politically active at their local and municipal levels of government.
City Councils and School Boards oversee and spend millions of American taxpayer dollars. Members of these governing bodies play a critical role in local governments, and it’s time we start treating them that way by ensuring there are viable conservative voices at the tables of local government.

As citizens, our local government is the level of government we have the closest contact with and over which we should have the most direct control.

Oftentimes, however, local governments are paid the least amount of attention by voters, are the least transparent, and therefore are the least fiscally responsible.  Sadly, this trend is not an exception, it has become the norm: funding at the local levels and in school districts continues to increase and yet government waste is at an all time high as we continue to see test scores drop.
Evidently, real change is needed. We need more people dedicated to seeing the system work, and American Majority is ready to help get those dedicated people elected.

American Majority seeks to provide professional political training to commonsense conservatives interested in running (and winning) elections for local/municipal office.

If you have ever considered running for School Board or City Council in order to bring some commonsense to your local government (or know someone who would make a great candidate) please CLICK HERE. Fill out the form so American Majority can help you in this important endeavor by giving you the political training you can use to win!

In our trainings we emphasize that “small steps go far!” … well, it’s high time we begin that political march to Washington, and there’s no better place to take our first steps than from home.
