Candidate Training Schools: Sign Up! Make a Difference!

We’ve already told you about the Indiana Candidate Training School that’s happening tomorrow (and there’s still room, so sign up here), but we’re hearing news that our school will be coming to Georgia!

The American Federation Campaign Training Schools are a great way for Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and everyone else to learn about running for public office.  We’re not partisan here, but we do want to elect candidates who will stand for our children—and that’s on BOTH sides of the aisle.

So if you want to be named a school choice champion, or vote ‘yes’ in support of smart, accountable school choice legislation, or make a difference in thousands of children’s lives, attend this school. 

Here are the details:

Want to See Education Reform Enacted?

Listen to Uncle Sam: It’s Time for YOU to be a Leader in Enacts Education Reform

Political action has always been an essential part of the United States.  From the 1780s, when our constitution was debated (think: the original town halls) and ratified, to casting a vote in this week’s Super Tuesday primaries, Americans have always exercised our voice in voting.

At the same time, the U.S. Congress has a nine percent approval rating, every president in recent memory struggles to keep one step ahead of rising levels of disapproval, and we’re seeing education reform stall in states across the nation.  We’ve voted, but it’s time to do more.

In fact, you can do more!

Have you ever had an inkling to run for political office?  Maybe the state legislature, a state or local school board, mayor, or city council?  If you have, Uncle Sam wants you to attend one of the American Federation for Children's Campaign Training Schools!

Interested in Getting More Involved in the Political Process?

Have you ever had political aspirations? Do you want to change politics and spur reform in our education system from within? If so, then the American Federation for Children invites you to attend our next Campaign Training School, to be held on Saturday, July 23, 2011, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! The training school will be held at the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry from 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Central Time.

AFC Board Member Kevin P. Chavous recorded a message about the work that we do to help pro-reform candidates, and why having reform-minded folks in office is so important.
