Dallas, TX Activist Training
August 2, 2010
Our nation was founded by ordinary citizen activists desiring a government that was accountable to the people. Today, ordinary citizens across our nation are tired of the status quo and ready to engage for the betterment of their communities.
American Majority is pleased to announce an Activist Training will be conducted on Saturday, August 21st in Dallas, TX to provide citizens with the tools necessary to become effective activists.
The training will take place at the Best Western Dallas Hotel & Conference Center, 8051 LBJ Freeway, Dallas, TX 75251 from 9:30am-3pm. Online pre-registration is necessary to provide adequate materials and credit card processing. The cost is just $25 per attendee. Registration opens at 9:00 a.m. A box lunch will be provided.
Registrations are limited to 100 activists so speedy online registration is recommended. Space is expected to fill quickly!
Topics* to be covered during the Training include:
- The System (a look at where our country started, where we are today, the problems that have arisen and how we can take our country back)
- Precinct Power (changing your community one precinct at a time with specific micro-targeting and focused action)
- Grassroots Activism (ideas and practical steps to engage our communities and organize a coalition of volunteers)
- Modern Patriotism (the Founders had printing presses and pamphlets, we have facebook and twitter. How can we use our modern tools to promote liberty?)
- Digital Pamphleteering (Thomas Paine wrote pamphlets but if he was around today he would be a blogger or wiki contributor. Learn how you can be effective with blogs and wikis online.)
- Social Capitalism (learn how to use social networks in your fight for conservative victory online. This is an advanced class for online activism)
Full training materials, samples and supplements will be provided to help you apply what you learn to your organization, candidate, cause or community.

Tina, I’m the Houston Field Rep. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. corie@americanmajority.org, 832-244-2761.
Please bring this to Fort Worth.
I have been following AM for a couple of weeks and have engaged in many interesting conversations with a variety of “interesting” people. What I haven’t figured out is what the difference between ya’ll and republicans. Is the ideology behind AM more aimed toward dethroning the democrats or is it based on creating a strong third party that is for the people, rather than the corporations that are presently controlling our government.
James, We are looking for an opportunity to do that in the not too distant future. Due to our busy schedule and the quick run-up to the election I anticipate that early 2011 is the next opportunity we will have to train in Ft. Worth. Please drop me a line via email: raz@americanmajority.org and we can talk more about setting something up. FTW is actually where I’m based out of.
Adam, Thank you for your interest! As a 501c3 organization we are non-partisan and cannot affiliate or coordinate with a political party. We are however unabashed in our alliance with the conservative principles of individual liberty, free markets and limited government.
We have spent a considerable amount of time studying both the legal structure of our government and the history of our electoral process. Both practical and theoretical considerations convince us that if positive change is going to be made in the direction of our country that we will have to use the two-party system that is currently available to us.
Anecdotally, Teddy Roosevelt was one of the most popular presidents in the history of our nation and yet even he couldn’t win a significant portion of the vote when he ran under his 3rd party ticket.
Let me be clear, our allegiance is to principle over party. Our interest is in promoting the ideals that I mentioned above through pragmatic, political means. Towards that end, we identify and train conservative candidates and activists across this country.
