Many of us are talking about what we can do for the future. Many of us will be meeting before the march on the week of July 12 to help plan the future of movement.

If we want to have more effective grassroots leaders and manage a larger grassroots groups, promote good legislation and have more successful political candidates we need to attend this workshop.

I have invited the following people and barring any last minute scheduling or congressional conflict expect Tom Lizardo, Ron Paul's Chief of Staff to speak.

Dennis Fusaro, a former national grassroots director for the Ron Paul campaign and a respected 2nd amendment lobbyists will speak.

John Tate, Ron Paul campaign former national political director will speak as well.

Mike Rothfeld, a pro life and pro gun activist, former candidate for state senate will speak.

We have high quality teachers with the right attitude, who will tell it like it is.

Attendance will be limited. We want to keep this exclusively for the Ron Paul activist who has demonstrated leadership experience and want to advance to the next level in effective grassroots activism which will make a difference.

In order to make this workshop go forward we will need a minimum number of students to cover the expenses. If you can't make the class we can use donations as well to help cover the cost.

We can adjust the class to certain topics depending on what people want.

In order to be invited to this event you need to contact [email protected] or P.M. bprimbs

We are only looking for a small select group of the most dedicated activists who are willing to guide others in the future and can help spread the Ron Paul message.

It will be a two day class which will hopefully meet the Wednesday and Thursday before the march. On Friday, we can visit capitol hill or continue the discussion.

The class should cost about one hundred dollars and we will probably need fifty people to sign up to make it work.

I am willing to help organize this class if Ron Paul activists are interested in attending.

You could easily pay thousands of dollars taking university level campaign classes or you can take this class from teachers who share many of Ron Paul's beliefs and have many years of experience in campaign management and lobbying.

Attendance will be limited and you must apply to be considered. For further details contact me.

Either P.M. or email [email protected]
