The Republican Party’s Liberty Caucus Promotes Training

*******************************
Saddle Up!

OK. Christmas is over and the new year is right around the corner. All this talk about "bipartisan cooperation" is a bunch of flapdoodle. The Democrats are already laying plans to derail George W's agenda ... as well as take outright control of both houses of Congress in 2002. So in a few days, our holiday furlough will be over and it'll be time to "lock and load" and march back into battle again. And that means...

Training ... Training ... Training

The GOP lost a LOT of campaigns in 2000 ... NOT because we had bad candidates ... but because they ran bad campaigns. And that's because the candidates ... and/or their campaign managers ... and/or their strategists ... and/or their staffs ... and/or their consultants ... and/or their volunteers ... and/or their precinct coordinators ... and/or their party leaders ... didn't know what the hell they were doing.

They only THOUGHT they knew.

If we're going to avoid blowing winnable races again in 2002, our folks MUST learn the RIGHT ways to conduct a campaign and/or run a political organization. And when it comes to political training, there's no better organization for conservatives in the country than the non-partisan ... Leadership Institute.

LI is located just outside Washington, DC in the Virginia suburb of Arlington ... but they also conduct a number of their training seminars in cities coast-to-coast. Yours truly will be one of the volunteer field instructors at an upcoming "GRASSROOTS SCHOOL" in Ft. Worth, Texas in a few weeks. If you're serious about winning in 2001-2002, you should consider joining us ... or catch one in a different city sometime soon (check the full training schedule at www.leadershipinstitute.com).

The GRASSROOTS SCHOOL is an intense and comprehensive a two-day program which covers...

* Campaign Organization
* Recruiting Volunteers
* Strategy & Message
* Opposition Research
* Voter ID
* Targeting
* Voter Mail
* Door-to-Door Campaigning
* Phone Programs
* Get-Out-the-Vote
* Public Relations
* Earned Media
* Building Coalitions
* Fundraising
* Fundraising
* And More Fundraising

The Ft. Worth school will be held on Saturday & Sunday, January 13-14. (Among the other instructors joining us will be the incomparable and irrepressible Ron Nehring of Americans for Tax Reform.) The two-day school will be held at the offices of the Broadcast Communications Group at 6350 W. Freeway in Ft. Worth. The cost, which includes all training materials and handouts, is a paltry $49 ... and easily worth 10 times that!

If you're serious about winning, you need to be there. If you can't afford to go ... you REALLY need to be there. Fundraising, like it or not, is critical to winning ... period. And nobody teaches it better than the Leadership Institute.

To register or get additional information, call Amy Hamilton at LI at (800) 827-5323, extension 230. Be there or be square ... ya'll.

P.S. For truly DEAD-SERIOUS candidates, campaign professionals and party leaders, LI conducts a week-long "super-school" on CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT. That school runs March 18-24 this year. I may be a trainer myself, but I've been through this school twice now ... and will be attending again this year. You're never too good or know so much that this program isn't of extreme value.

This particular program is ONLY available at LI's Virginia campus. The tuition is just $149 ... and includes all materials and most meals. In addition, free lodging in the campus dorms is available on a first-come/first-serve basis.

If you really, really, REALLY want to be a giant in political activism ... you really, really, REALLY need to enroll in this school. Seats are limited, so clear your calendar and sign up today. (800) 827-5323. (And if you ask for Matt Lewis at extension 229 and tell him Chuck Muth sent you, maybe you'll even be able to get a full or partial scholarship to offset the tuition cost. But these scholarships are VERY limited ... so call Matt ASAP)
