Get ready! DFA: "You have the power." Now, get the skills!

[MelissaB]

Dear Supporter,

In the words of one very special former Vermont Governor, "You have the power." Now, get the skills! The DFA Training Academy is coming to Memphis, Tennessee on March 25-26 to help you learn the strategies and tactics needed to harness your power and win elections.

Grassroots leaders throughout the state are working to bring you a weekend full of campaign training, simulation and serious fun. Democracy for America chair Jim Dean will deliver the keynote address. RSVP today:

At the DFA Training Academy, you'll learn how to communicate a message more effectively, influence local media, run a local campaign and build your grassroots group's attendance, activity, and effectiveness.

This is no social get together. This is an intensive, interactive, two-day training with a series of sessions and workshops geared toward winning locally. We build the program so you can go out and actually use the skills you learn as soon as you get home. Then, we follow up with you to make sure you have the support you need to organize your community.

I hope to see you in Memphis!

Sincerely,

Arshad Hasan
Training Coordinator
Democracy for America

1. I think this is a terrific idea! I know when I got involved with

Deans Presidential Campaign, I had NO IDEA what to do, and neither did any of the people at the meetups! We discussed what we thought would work best, and wrote letters to people in Iowa and NH, but to be honest, I STILL don't know what "should" work! What's the best way to got your message out?

That's to the Dean brothers, I think the Dems will have a better chance than they've had in years!
