Warwick, Rhode Island Campaign Bootcamp
October 18, 2011
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 joining the Rhode Island Tea Party for a campaign training session in Rhode Island on Saturday, November 19th. The event will be geared toward giving candidates and campaign staff in Rhode Island the resources and information that will help them structure and manage successful campaigns as they seek to hold elected officials accountable at the local level, and elect new, principled leadership. Some of the topics that will be addressed include*:
- Campaign Plan: A campaign without a plan won’t get very far- this covers what a campaign plan should look like, what should be on it, and how detailed and flexible it should be.
- Fundraising: The one thing every campaign needs, and can never get enough of is money. Who to ask, how to ask, how much to ask for- these are all important questions that you need to have answered before you start fundraising.
- GOTV: Boots on the ground are essential for any campaign victory, but first you have to find them. You also must have the necessary knowledge of your district or precinct, the equipment they will need, and the infrastructure to direct them in the last minute push to find your supporters, and get them to the polls.
The training will be held from 8:30am-5:00pm on Saturday, November 19th, at BrokerNetUSA, located at 100 Metro Center Blvd, in Warwick, RI. The $50.00 per person registration fee includes lunch and training materials.
American Majority is a non-profit and non-partisan political training organization whose mission is to train and equip a national network of leaders committed to individual freedom through limited government and the free market.
