It's Six Months Until Election Day...

It’s May of 2012 and we have six months to take a message of reform to the people of this country. Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. In 1980, Ronald Reagan asked a simple question to the American people – “Are you better off today than four years ago?”  America at that time was buckling under high unemployment and suffering because of the policies of a president that was in over his head.   Sound familiar?  It’s May of 2012 and we have six months to take a message of reform to the people of this country and all of us need to do our part. Now is the time to get organized on the home front.  All too often we think about a Presidential election year solely in terms of the race for the White House.   When we do that we miss the big picture.   Sure, making certain that we have leadership in Washington that’s going to Keep America Free through a renewed focus on the Constitution, less spending, smaller government and individual freedom is critically important.  But just as this country was founded on the principles of an individual’s power to achieve, so too our ability to save America from statism rests on our individual efforts.  In fact, we could solve many of our problems in Washington and still face fiscal crisis due to government gluttony and overreach.  Local and state-level spending, taxation and debt are in fact one of the largest portion of our problem nationwide.  We need to start cultivating new conservative leaders, supporting conservative campaigns and organizing for victory today in primary contests from school board to state senate in order to ensure real change that works bubbles up from our neighborhoods to impact the nation. And let’s be honest: national, generational change does not begin at the top. It begins at the local level. Last year American Majority launched the New Leaders Project to encourage local activists to look at the big picture – not just one level of government or one election for that matter but developing a new generation of American leadership.  We challenged conservative grassroots groups across America to take the New Leaders Pledge to identify 10 people in their local community who can be groomed for leadership of some kind.   To date, more than 500 groups have committed to recruiting more than 5000 new, conservative leaders to help drive forward the kind of reform you and I know is needed in America.  For our part, American Majority committed to training all these folks and providing the latest campaign management technology platform called Gravity, to their local grassroots groups to help make them more effective at winning the battle of ideas in our communities.  Sign the pledge today and be a part of a new wave of principled, liberty-minded leadership for America. We have six months to fight this fight and win for our future.  Our mission is the preservation of freedom and the restoration of American values.  Right now, it’s incumbent upon all our grassroots groups across America to being identifying campaigns and districts where outreach can be done directly to voters who will respond to our message that places people – not government – first.   We strongly encourage you to have a leadership meeting this spring to plot a strategy for identifying those audiences who need to know about how debt and taxes are crippling our nation.  Start a volunteer drive for those willing to pass out literature and canvass neighborhoods.  Then use technology like Gravity or updated voter data to start mapping out where you can hit most effectively. We are six months out from the election of our lifetime.  We’ve seen the damage done in just a few short years, now we have just a few short months to prepare.  For more information about having an American Majority training in your area visit us at AmericanMajority.org.  For Liberty, Ned Ryun Like us on Facebook Follow us on Twitter Forward to a friend Read our blog AM Training Alumni Testimonials Donate to AM Resource Spotlight Beyond finding candidates, another task as the 2012 elections approach is to find new voters to help Keep America Free.  That's where the new Map Widget at Pledge to Vote comes in.  All the prospective voter has to do is choose the right state, and voter registration information pops right up.

The Story the Virginian Pilot Won't tell: 2 of its Reporters Attacked by a Racist Mob

Between 30 and 100 Black Youths Attack Reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami With No Police or Press Response | Video | TheBlaze.com:  "from Norfolk, Virginia, where a white couple were beaten savagely by a group of (according to reports) between 30 and 100 black youths. Apparently, the beating was so brutal that the couple could only manage to scream out the intersection at which they were located – “Church and Brambleton” – as the blows rained down:"

Building the Farm Team for 2012

It's time to get serious about toppling the Ruling Class. Will you spread the word? Will you join us? Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. At American Majority, we talk a lot about “The Ruling Class”. And there’s a reason why we use this pejorative term for the bipartisan establishment that waltzes right back into office every two years without so much as a sweat. Our president, Ned Ryun, wrote an entire column in The American Spectator magazine on this trend.   Click to take our survey   These people aren’t public servants. They don’t face any real scrutiny, resistance or competition from the folks they’re supposed to work for. Each election cycle, these people--from both parties--simply show up and get sworn in. They then resume the tedious task of governing us, of regulating us, of taxing us--and just generally telling us what’s good for us.   About 99% of all U.S. Congressmen are re-elected biennially. Even in 2010, an unprecedented conservative wave election barely lowered that percentage to 80. And let’s not even get started on the numbers for down-ballot races, which almost no American voters pay attention to. Which brings us to the opportunities for new leaders now and for building the conservative farm team for tomorrow. In 2012, there are 7,384 state legislative seats across America. Out of these, 5,979 of them (or 81%) are up for re-election right now. That means four out of five office-holders at the state legislative level could be challenged and fought, most effectively in an earlier primary election. This doesn’t include the number of term-limited, retiring or even deceased officials. Or special elections. Yet the window of opportunity for changing this more localized ruling class is closing rapidly. Eighty-six (86!) of the nation’s 99 state legislative chambers will hold state legislative elections on November 6. Just two years ago, in that wave election of 2010, only 1,133 state legislative incumbents even faced a primary challenger. That was only 22% of those who could have drawn a fight.  Of the 6,125 state legislative districts in 2010 with elections, 4,125 (or 67.3%) of those districts only had one major party candidate on the November ballot.  We're analyzing the competitiveness of the 2012 state legislative elections as well, and so far, based on official candidate lists in the states where the deadline to file has passed, the competitiveness of the elections is even lower than it was in 2010. That said, there are a number of states where the signature-filing deadline is still in the future. I encourage you to look up and investigate when the deadlines for filing for office are in your state. And to consider seriously who best from your ranks should run against the entrenched power structure in your legislature.   Are we going to let the Ruling Class get a free pass? Again??? We don't want you to. We want you to consider being part of the solution this time. Please take a few short seconds to fill out this fast, easy, online survey so that together we can build a farm team of new leaders, shatter the Ruling Class, and get us back to voting in friends of freedom in our states.  Then think about 5 people you know who would make fine community leaders, and ask them to take the survey:   Click to take our survey   Will you, your conservative friends, or your group decide to put some skin in the game this year? Or are you content to allow a comfortable Ruling Class to continue to govern? The only way to effectively change our country is the reclaim it from the ground up, and now is the time to get started. American Majority's New Leaders Project has an ongoing goal of helping thousands of grassroots conservatives identify and train the right people to take the Ruling Class on directly. With support, resources and training materials from American Majority, we can help you make it a real race for many of these tired, ineffective office-holders' seats.  Together we can actually break the cycle of incumbent control. Inject new blood into the system. Cast away the usual ways of doing business in our capitals. And begin building a farm team of vital, competent and credible people who will take on the day-to-day business of returning more liberty to us. It's time to get serious about toppling the Ruling Class. Will you spread the word? Will you join us?  Will you forward this to your friends, to ask them to join us? Sincerely, American Majority P.S. Based on previous elections, we expect that less than two-thirds of state legislative elections will have more than one candidate on the ballot this year. To bring real change to our communities and our country, we must challenge the Ruling Class, and we must do it now. Will you commit to run for a seat in your state legislature, or help a conservative who will? P.P.S. I understand that not everyone is cut out to run for office.

Job Security in 2012

We Are the Change We’ve Been Waiting For

Dear Friends,
Once or twice a year, we at American Majority get the chance to witness an event that definitively affirms our ongoing efforts to empower the conservative grassroots. This past Tuesday, we were fortunate to witness such an event in Wisconsin, and I want to take a moment to share with you the fruits of our labor.
As you know, since last year's battle over Governor Scott Walker's Budget Repair Bill, Leftist public sector unions like SEIU and the NEA have relentlessly fought to preserve their stranglehold on the purse strings of the Wisconsin state government. As a result, the state's budget and tax base have languished under an oppressive tax burden.
