DFA Activist Night School Has George Lakoff by conference call. Free Thurs Night

[John Q. Citizen]

George Lakoff is a linguist and a cognitive psychologist.

Get your chops together to hit the streets and convert conservatives (and others) into Obama voters.

*******

Ever wonder why simply stating our positions on the hot button issues isn't enough to win votes? Or why Democrats who try and adopt conservative stances on issues usually lose their elections even in conservative districts?

Professor George Lakoff has the answers and will show us how to frame the solutions during the next Night School. Thursday, Professor Lakoff will be our special guest trainer; highlighting specific thinking points from his new book "The Political Mind" and teaching the framing progressives need to know to win. Join us "Live from Netroots Nation" at a special time: 5:30pm Eastern.

The Political Mind with George Lakoff
Thursday 5:30pm Eastern Time


Howard Dean called Professor Lakoff "One of the most influential thinkers of the progressive movement." Lakoff's 2004 book "Don't Think of an Elephant" taught progressives how to take back the message and expose Republican framing. He changed the way people speak about the issues and now he's taken it to the next level with his new book.

We'll be spending an hour with Professor Lakoff as part of this special Netroots Nation edition of DFA Night School.
