(Part 2) By Matt Robbins, National Executive Director   Last month we talked about the preliminary steps a person should run through if they're thinking of running for office. Now we'll dig a little deeper and point out some very practical parts of the equation that hit on a personal level. And of course my closing thought from last time bears repeating once more here: If you'd rather win the philosophical argument about why your political beliefs are the clearly correct ones than actually go out and meet the people who could become your proud supporters, running for office is probably not for you. However, if rolling up your sleeves and grappling with the real-world (and sometimes small-bore) challenges of governance motivates you, the political process beckons with open arms. Can you solve problems? I don't mean demagogue--- I mean solve. Solutions which can be put forward and implemented with a real consensus are rarely easy, or somebody else in office would've already found them. In other words are you willing to listen, learn, help and then lead? Click here to continue reading. Petition Congress to Drill Here and Now Are you prepared for gas prices to continue to rise, to as much as $5 a gallon? With the possibility of Ahmadinejad taking control of OPEC, do we want our money funding terrorism and genocide? It's time to stop being held hostage at the pump. Sign this petition and tell Congress: It's time to drill here. It's time to drill now.  Finding New Leaders  If you want to make a real difference, help us find new candidates to run for local office! Since we launched The New Leaders Project, nearly 500 groups have pledged to identify 10 new candidates, and give them access to our Candidate Training resources and campaign materials.  Click here to sign the pledge, or visit our website for more information. Tea Party Special Report Many of the local tea party groups across the country are disappointed in what they see as broken promises from Republican leadership in Washington. This report shares thoughts from groups in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Virginia and across the country- and how they plan to respond in 2012.     follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2011 American Majority, All rights reserved.

Dear Ones (many Bcc)
Yesterday I re-read this excellent article, forwarded from a friend, on how the Comprehensive Plan and Agenda 21  are linked. Please read and understand the dire & eminent threat to individual property rights and liberty, posed by this communist plan enabling government to confiscate private property. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. What an excellent project for Project Veritas to help expose!

Where and how should you begin considering a run for office? When do you decide it's YOU that should step forward? Putting your name on the ballot involves enormous sacrifice, followed only in magnatude of difficulty by the actual job of becoming a public servant... that is, IF you win a campaign. In the spirit of "stacking the deck" with right-thinking, credable, competent candidates, here are some short cuts that can allow for a rolling start should you decide to throw your name in the proverbial hat.  First, get a political lay of the land. Look for open seats! If you live in a state where there are term limits at the state legislative level, an open seat is the best opportunity for a new, solid candidate. So do your homework in a term limited state (compile a list of all open seats coming up) and find out which seats are open in 2012. (For the entire article, click here.) Why America is Great Our historical pamphlet series is one of our popular resources- and Volume 5, "To Form a More Perfect Union", has now been released! All five pamphlets can be found here. One Woman, One Vote  Read American Majority President Ned Ryun's most recent article in the American Spectator, highlighting True the Vote's election integrity program. #winning In April, Education Week took a look at how the Tea Party Movement is impacting school board elections across the nation, and how AM is part of that.

I received this from Jonnie Adams today and it is great. Have a look and I think you will agree. L. DeWitt Edwards  A nation can survive it's fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.                                                                                            Author Malous Cicero --- On Wed, 4/6/11, Jonnie Adams  Date: Wednesday, April 6, 2011, 8:44 PM AGENDA 21 IN ONE EASY LESSON by Tom DeWeese April 6, 2011 NewsWithViews.com Awareness of Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development is racing across the nation as citizens in community after community are learning what their city planners are actually up to. As awareness grows, I am receiving more and more calls for tools to help activists fight back. Many complain that elected officials just won't read detailed reports or watch long videos. "Can you give us something that is quick, and easy to read that we can hand out," I'm asked.
