Will You Join Our 2012 Team?

Dear Friend,   A year from today, Americans will go to the polls to elect a President. It won't be easy, but we can change course. However, did you know there are  300,000 other local, state and federal races that will also impact your future?  The question is clear: will we choose more, real liberty for ourselves, our families, and our communities?   We at American Majority work hard every day to help people like you get the tools to win elections, beat back big government growth, and fight the Left. Whether it's against unions in Wisconsin or political protection for Wall Street, American Majority is there to help citizens organize, fight and win.   We're there on the ground, training grassroots activists and identifying candidates who'll fight for the right values on school boards, city councils, and in state legislatures. We help folks committed to preserving what's best in America become the conservative farm team: a nationwide network of competent, credible leaders who'll move the needle back in the direction of fiscal sanity and smaller, more responsible governments.   And we need your help.   Over the next twelve months, we'll work even harder, training more than ten thousand individuals. We know our immediate future depends on other Americans dedicated to this country and what it stands for.   But we need partners in the fight. We're asking every friend of American Majority--everyone who believes in our unique mission--to step up by donating $12--one dollar for each month--to our training programs, and encouraging friends and family to do the same.   $12 doesn't begin to cover even one of our state-of-the-art, in-person trainings. But $12 can give conservative activists, campaigners, candidates, or college students all six of American Majority's most popular 24-page printed manuals. $12 can teach anyone--anywhere--effective volunteering, mastering social media, mapping political precincts or protecting against voter fraud. Just $12 can put the right tools for the fight next year into the hands of thousands.     Just $12 truly can make a difference. We hope you'll join us.   Sincerely, American Majority   P.S. Please check out the newly redesigned AmericanMajority.org for upcoming events, resources, and so much more!

The Groundswell, October 2011

The Carpe Diem Culture This month I thought I'd take a detour from my usual writing on the political "military-industrial complex". I didn't feel like doing nuts-and-bolts campaign mechanics either. Something's been gnawing at the edges of my mind for a time, and I wanted to draw it out. So bear with me please. Now, it's certainly no secret that most of us in America these days take for granted that social media is part of the very fabric of our life. Those of us in the conservative grassroots certainly realize and struggle to master the power of this relatively recent technology. The ability to amplify our voice, echo our message, to create our own personal "brand" and manage our image online has been a tremendous boon to the Tea Party movement among many others in the last few years. Not to mention what it's done for the ties of family or friendship, or even interpersonal relationships (think Match.com). But do we really stop to think about the fundamental changes this new facet of communications has made to who we are at our core?   Upcoming Training Events October 22- Concord, NC October 22- Champaign, IL October 22- Cordele, GA October 23 - Austin, TX October 29 - Bloomington, IL November 12 - Lincolnway, IL November 19 - Providence, RI November 21 & 28 - Chicago December 3 - Tallahassee, FL January 21 - Midland, TX PLUS:  YAL Campaign Bootcamps! Get Social With AM!                    Ready to Change America?     Ready to Break the Rules?   Looking to make a grassroots difference in this next election? Learn tips and techniques for getting your friends and neighbors on board with the message of the American Majority by visiting our resources page. There you'll find educational pamphlets on the American founding vision, guides on how to maximize your presence on social media, podcasts and a host of training materials designed to make you a voice for liberty in your community. You can even grab audio and video materials designed to teach you how to wear your commitment to America's founding values on your sleeve!   "Occupy Wall Street" might be trying to convince America that they belong to the "99%" but in this month's American Spectator, American Majority President Ned Ryun takes on the 80%: the majority of elected officials who just keep winning their seats, thus preserving the status quo. Has America created its own Ruling Class by tolerating the same leadership day in and day out? Is there any hope for a small band of rebels willing to think differently, to change the way business is done in DC, and to break the rules? Check out what we have to say!     Ready to Learn Something New? The Frontier Lab, a free-market organization dedicated to helping provide useful resources to the Tea Party, the organizations that serve the Tea Party, and to individuals dedicated to preserving freedom for America, is looking to find out what liberty-minded Americans are interested in learning. What kind of information is necessary to your work? How can people with knowledge you need better connect to you? Take a quick five minutes to fill out the Frontier Lab's survey and tell them!

Declaration of Rights & Responsibilities – Glenn Beck

1. Because I have the right to choose, I recognize that I am accountable to God and have the responsibility to keep the 10 commandments in my own life.

2. Because I have the right to worship as I choose, I have the responsibility to honor the right of others to worship as they see fit.

3. Because I have freedom of speech, I have the responsibility to defend the speech of others, even if I strongly disagree with what they’re saying.

4. Because I have the right to pursue happiness, I have the responsibility to show humility and express gratitude for all the blessings I enjoy and the rights I’ve been given.

5. Because I have the right to honest and good government I will seek out honest and just representatives when possible. If I cannot find one then I accept the responsibility to take that place.

6. Because I have the God given right to liberty, I have the personal responsibility to have the courage to defend others to be secure in their persons, lives and property.

7. Because I have the right to equal justice, I will stand for those who are wrongly accused or unjustly blamed.

8. Because I have the right to knowledge, I will be accountable for myself and my children’s education…to live our lives in such a way that insures the continuation of truth.

9. Because I have the right to pursue my dreams and keep the fruits of my labor, I have the responsibility to feed, protect and shelter my family, the less fortunate, the fatherless, the old and infirm.

10. Because I have a right to the truth, I will not bear false witness nor will I stand idly by as others do.

The Groundswell, September 2011

Taking To The Streets The Greek mathematician Archimedes once said: "Give me a place to stand, and with a long enough lever I will move the whole world," thus introducing the concept of leverage. This very same principle is at the core of all local politics everywhere. Accordingly, figuring out where the windows of opportunity--those bottlenecks and pressure points--are is half the battle. And using that most basic of campaign tools—the calendar—allows you to plainly see exactly where and when to intervene within the political process. Campaign cycles rarely change (barring special elections), so with the proper planning, you can leverage even meager resources to the hilt. For instance, making a motivated but small group of conservative activists and voters into the epitome of a primary election turnout machine when most others aren't paying attention.   Upcoming Training Events October 1- Mt. Pleasant, TX October 1- Jefferson City, MO October 1- Omaha, NE October 8- Austin, TX October 14- Fort Atkinson, WI October 15- Greenville, SC October 15- Marion, IL October 15- Midland, TX October 15- Jacksonville, FL October 22- Concord, NC PLUS:  YAL Campaign Bootcamps! Get Social With AM                    One Day - 14 States     Of Plans and People   On September 17th, American Majority celebrated Constitution Day by working hand-in-hand with community based organizations to hold 14 training events at locations across the nation, from New York City to Arizona to Michigan to Florida. Groups of people who are devoted to our country and want to see a return to Constitutionally limited government came together to find out how they can be most effective in their communities- American Majority revealed new training curriculum and our new Effectivism manual.     In this month's American Spectator, American Majority President Ned Ryun takes a hard look at what has made the young, unfunded Tea Party movement effective in a way that the wealthy, esperienced DC-based conservative movement hasn't been. "Because many in D.C. have fallen prey to the ease of the self-validating echo chambers ("Your ideas on the flat tax are phenomenal," "You're awesome," "No, you're awesome"), the D.C.-based conservative movement has never truly facilitated an implementation method..         In September and October, American Majority is joining with Young Americans for Liberty to hold Campaign Bootcamps in locations across the counry to provide indepth campaign training for  activists and candidates who are committed to defending liberty in 2012 and beyond.    For a list of dates, locations and registration information, click here.

The Groundswell, August 2011

State of the Unions By Matt Robbins, National Executive Director I still remember the smell of that locker room. Every summer during college, I worked at a plant on an industrial island in the Mississippi River. Corn syrup (the fructose in our soft drinks) was the main product, although we also loaded some impressively big barges with some sort of cattle feed.
