What to Teach a 25,000-strong Nationwide Campaign Force

Information

Part of the Plan is to build a 25,000 person strong campaign force. The question I have is what should we be teaching them? This is a group designed to share techniques that have worked/not worked, organizational methods, books of interest, etc.

Comment by Michael Brennan on February 10, 2009 at 12:47am: Why did the GOP abandon its counties ans district party organizations? Here in PA the RNCC was only active in a select few districts and then because of that we had at least thirty districts without a republican candidate, and most were formerly republican held seats too. If the GOP does not get back to supporting disrtict level organizations, they will lose their base forever.

Comment by Peter Towey on February 10, 2009 at 12:19am: RNC is hiring:

If you know anyone who is looking to for employment there is a form that is available on RNC.org that they can fill out there.

It allows you to pick regions of preference and allows you to upload your resume as well.

Comment by Peter Towey on January 28, 2009 at 7:45pm: FYI for everyone -

The RNC should be announcing dates for all the Political Education classes sometime after the new RNC chair is elected.

I am hoping that they will go back to having the training sessions around the country and not just DC; but, I will keep everyone up to date.

Comment by Peter Towey on January 13, 2009 at 1:15am: I think starting at the state level would be the best thing. And, there is a good chance that there will be a Republican Governor in PA come 2010 as well. So, having a Republican majority would be a very useful thing to help crack down on all the waste in PA.
Always remember it is never to early to start campaigning for a local office. Good luck in your endeavors.

Comment by Michael Brennan on January 10, 2009 at 9:38pm: I am trying to decide to whether to take on Democrat State Rep Jennifer Mann in the 132nd State Congressional District here in Allentown in 2010 or build myself up to take on U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) in 2012. So yeah, wish me luck. Hey anyone have $2500 I could use in this endeavor????????????????

Comment by Peter Towey on January 3, 2009 at 1:15pm: Thanks Daniel. If you have any questions or thoughts on what we should be teaching people that are working on campaigns this is a place to share those thoughts and ask those questions.

Comment by Daniel Kaplan on December 26, 2008 at 6:28pm: Peter, thanks for starting this group, I think its incredibly important and practical!

Comment by Katie on December 9, 2008 at 7:33pm: Hi, I’m Katie, I’m new to Rebuild the Party, but I am so excited about Sarah Palin, and really just ready to help further the conservative agenda! I have been really active in Team Sarah, and just found this site! I’m looking for ways to get involved. Every day I mark it down on my Sarah Palin Calendar, so that at the end of the year I know I did everything I could possibly do. I just think having a calendar with a cause reminds you ever day to do something proactive!
