Campaign Camps Overview If you’re a political organization, state party, or candidate campaign getting geared up for the 2010 election cycle, this is a good time to consider grassroots solutions’ award- winning Campaign Camps. In recent years, more than 16,000 participants have attended our Campaign Camps in 34 states. We come to you to conduct these trainings so you aren’t put off by Minnesota in the winter! Camps are held in the locations of your choice, and we handle the logistical details from A to Z including registration, payment, and participant management, all of which is done online. Our intensive, highly interactive 2.5-day Camps teach participants the fundamentals of political campaigns, how to effectively run for elected office, and provide them with the tools they need to be effective citizen activists. Campaign Camp alumni have run for offices ranging from local school board to Congress and have contributed to campaign and issue victories across the country. What training track best meets your needs? 9 Campaign Management for Future Paid Professionals 9 Becoming a Winning Candidate 9 Grassroots Advocacy & Organizing 9 Management for Political Veterans It’s worth repeating our mantra that ours is not a “one size fits all” training model. grassroots solutions’ experienced Campaign Camp trainers customize our training approaches to speak to the experiences and needs of the participants of each Camp. That said, all of our Camps place a high premium on participation – including a mix of interactive presentations, small or large group exercises and discussions, question and answer sessions, role plays and simulations that reflect real grassroots scenarios, friendly competition among participants, and opportunities for socializing and having fun. At the conclusion of the Campaign Camp, we compile and provide sponsors with evaluations of participants and attendee employment profiles. We’d like to help you with a winning solution to your grassroots training needs. Take a page from All American Pac, which asked grassroots solutions to design Camp Evan Bayh for recent college graduates in 2007. From a pool of 600 applicants, grassroots solutions recruited, interviewed, and selected 47 of the most promising future political organizers to attend an advanced training program, which prepared attendees for assignments to campaigns in four states over the course of three months to help impact the November mid-term elections. Alumni of this advanced training program then became organizers for seven presidential campaigns during the 2007-2008 presidential primary contests. grassroots solutions received a Pollie Award in recognition of the Camp Bayh Full Immersion Program. grassroots solutions is also proud to have won a Pollie award for our Camp Equality trainings with the Human Rights Campaign during the 2008 election year. Through the Camp Equality initiative, we trained activists in 20 cities, substantially enhancing HRC’s core of organizers working on their program and with their coalition partners.

The training better prepared candidates and campaign volunteers, and provided us with a pool of resumes for our coordinated campaign. I would strongly recommend this training to state parties looking to jump start their programs this campaign season." Barry Rubin, Executive Director of the Nebraska Democratic Party, on the Camp Connealy training conducted in July of 2005: "Thanks so much to Grassroots Solutions, our campers, trainers, volunteers and staff for an outstanding weekend. I was truly inspired by all of you, and look forward to working with you as we continue to move our party forward." Marsha Folsom, Executive Director of the Alabama Democratic Party, after the conclusion of the camp training in September 2003: "Thank you for all you did to make Camp Yellow Dog a success. You and the staff of Grassroots Solutions run a wonderful operation. I can't tell you how pleased we are here at the Alabama Democratic Party with everything you did. You listened to our needs, you created a program tailored to our efforts, and you were a pleasure to work with. Let me add that the trainers you provided were absolutely top drawer. We could not have asked for anything better, and the participants were equally as thrilled with the quality of the training program." .

    Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas

    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot. Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks to an Overflow Crowd at a Campaign Rally for Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillar

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks to an Overflow Crowd at a Campaign Rally for Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton and Democratic Senatorial Candidate Catherine Cortez Masto in North Las Vegas, Nevada October 23, 2016 The President. Hello, Las Vegas! How is everybody doing? Good? So I'm sorry that it's a little crowded up in there. But I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate you. I would not be President if it weren't for all the work that so many of you did back in 2008, back in 2012. But if we're going to continue all the progress that we've made, then we are going to have to make sure that we vote this time out. So I need everybody here to not just vote yourselves, but you've got to get your friends, your neighbors, your cousins. If you're not 18 and you can't vote, make sure your parents vote and your cousins vote. Because that's the only way we're going to be able to continue the progress that we've made. If you care about putting people back to work, then you want Hillary Clinton as President of the United States. If you want to make sure that immigration reform gets passed, we've got to have Catherine Cortez Masto in the United States Senate. If you want to make sure that we continue to make progress on education and making college affordable, then we've got to have more Democratic Members of Congress in the House of Representatives.

    ADP Draft Resolution: We Call for an End To

    ADP Resolution - Calling For An End To The Senate Filibuster The Arizona Democratic Party Supports President Biden's Agenda We Call For An End To The Filibuster WHEREAS, The Arizona Democratic Party Platform indicates that the Arizona Democratic Party supports, among other things, the right to vote1, non-discrimination2, the Equal Rights Amendment3, worker rights4, immigration reform, living wages, bold action to address climate change, universal health care, and preventing gun violence5; and WHEREAS, Arizona’s Republican state legislators are pursuing an aggressive agenda of voter suppression legislation that, if successful, will require federal legislation like the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure that all eligible Arizona voters can exercise our right to vote without undue barriers; and WHEREAS, Republicans in Congress have indicated a near-universal commitment to obstructing the passage of any bills offered in support of the aforementioned policies by, at least in part, utilizing the non-constitutional Senate Filibuster to prevent any debates or votes on bills proposed by Democrats6, and there is no indication that any 10 Republican Senators are willing join with the 50 Democratic Senators to override the Senate filibuster on the aforementioned issues or President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda; and WHEREAS, By empowering an uncompromising minority of obstructionist Republicans to attempt to improve their political standing by loudly opposing broadly popular legislation to address the aforementioned policy issues rather than engaging the legislative process in a truly bipartisan manner, the Senate filibuster eliminates any political incentive that might encourage Republican Senators to support Democratic legislation designed to benefit all Americans7; and 1 “We[, the Arizona Democratic Party,] support the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states from imposing voting policies, voting qualifications, or other discriminatory practices against United States citizens.

Trump (the “Trump Campaign”), Trump’s close 21 advisor Roger J. Stone, Jr., Stone’s organization Stop the Steal Inc., the Arizona 22 Republican Party (“ARP”), and others are conspiring to threaten, intimidate, and thereby 23 prevent minority voters in urban neighborhoods from voting in the 2016 election. The 24 presently stated goal of the Trump Campaign, as explained by an unnamed official to 25 Bloomberg News on October 27, is to depress voter turnout—in the official’s words: “We 26 have three major voter suppression operations under way” that target Latinos, African 27 Americans, and other groups of voters. While the official discussed communications 28 1 strategies designed to decrease interest in voting, it has also become clear in recent weeks 2 that Trump has sought to advance his campaign’s goal of “voter suppression” by using the 3 loudest microphone in the nation to implore his supporters to engage in unlawful 4 intimidation at Arizona polling places.
  • The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party

    The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party

    CASE STUDY The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party When a state political party’s electoral performance falters, how should political actors change its fortunes for the better— concentrate on the needs of individual candidates, bolster allied outside groups, or invest in the formal party itself? Sam Rosenfeld Daniel Schlozman August 2021 SNF Agora Case Studies The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University offers a series of case studies that show how civic and political actors navigated real-life challenges related to democracy. Practitioners, teachers, organizational leaders, and trainers working with civic and political leaders, students, and trainees can use our case studies to deepen their skills, to develop insights about how to approach strategic choices and dilemmas, and to get to know each other better and work more effectively. How to Use the Case Unlike many case studies, ours do not focus on individual leaders or other decision-makers. Instead, the SNF Agora case studies are about choices that groups make collectively. Therefore, these cases work well as prompts for group discussions. The basic question in each case is: “What would we do?” After reading a case, some groups role-play the people who were actually involved in the situation, treating the discussion as a simulation. In other groups, the participants speak as themselves, discussing the strategies that they would advocate for the group described in the case. The person who assigns or organizes your discussion may want you to use the case in one of those ways. When studying and discussing the choices made by real-life decision-makers (often under intense pressure), it is appropriate to exhibit some humility.
