Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership (FACL) One-Day Class

There will be a Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership (FACL) One-Day Class, all-day, this September 13th in the South Denver metro area. Cost is $35 and will include a lunch. Class runs from 9-5 with an optional post-class discussion and analysis that could last until 0200.

This is the basic class to learn how we run and win political campaigns.

Part class, part assessment and selection. It is a requirement for those who wish to become an endorsed (and viable) candidate or become an effective political operatives doing more than just volunteering.

You will learn targeting, micro-targeting, how and why email, mail, phones, and knocking works or doesn't work, and how to determine successful political courses of action - amongst other things.

Successful graduates are expected to become involved in a political or issues campaign of your choice this year. You will probably be selected for further training in the future.

Do something other than slurping up what FNC doles out or cursing from your barkalounger!
Get involved, do something, be effective!


PM MR2 or Sdiver your Full Name, email address, and phone number if interested.

Great to see the grass-roots effort!

I hope to see one locally one day.

Team guys will hear a lot that sounds familiar. Honestly, I would opine that this would not be a bad thing for some team guys to attend.

Great class today - thanks to the members here that were able to attend.

Imagine my surprise when I pulled onto SSG Chris Falkel Drive on my way to the venue in Highlands Ranch, CO.

"The battle is won before the battle is fought"

We had a great 2016 campaign strategy session for Colorado. Similar sessions are being held in many other states.
The Legislative season starts in January, the election season starts November 5th.

Get involved, become politically effective!

Whole bunch of new classes added - out through September 2015. LINK

I may be assisting at the 1-Day in Lincoln, NE November 8th.

No. You need to move out of there while you still can.

This isn’t a seminar on ideas or theories. This is not a class on how to schmooze.

If you want to be RESPECTED by the political class…
If you want to be FEARED by the political class…
If you are frustrated by politicians who say one thing at the Tea Party Rally, but break their promise at the Capitol…
If YOU want to create change…



Current school listing and sign up.

I'm setting up venues for the following six schools:

May 30 – Grand Junction, CO

June 6 – Jefferson County, CO

June 13 – Ft. Collins/Loveland, CO

June 20 - Colo. Springs, CO

June 20 – Cheyenne, WY

July 11 – Parker, CO

Let me know if you wish to attend.

One school left. Selected attendees will be advanced to a three-day 24-26 July.

July 11 – Monument, CO

Let me know if you wish to attend.


Opportunities to work on a Presidential campaign are starting to firm up.
Of course the 1-day school and subsequent activity are prerequisites.
