DFA Training:

Have an impact in 2006

"The DFA training was very comprehensive, informational, and inspirational. There was no fluff... just reality about running an effective campaign." --Mayor Val Keehn, Saratoga, NY

Mar. 18-19: Stockton, CA (Rep. Pombo's District)

The DFA Training Academy is a unique opportunity to work closely with top-notch political operatives and experienced grassroots veterans on the fundamentals of developing a message, communicating with voters, and building the army of volunteers needed to win.

We have the power to change this country, but the forces lined up against us are powerful. That's why we need to train. The more peopleat the grassroots who know how to run and win elections means the sooner we can put our country back on track. So, join a DFA training today:

Over 4,000 activists have graduated from the DFA Training Academy in the last two years - and they are on the front lines of the fight today. One of those graduates is Val Keehn who recently wrote:

"The two-day DFA training that I attended this past summer inCazenovia, NY was very comprehensive, informational, andinspirational. There was no fluff.....just reality about running an effective campaign. The one message that stuck with me throughout my own campaign was 'campaigns are won door-to-door and face-to-face with the voters.' DFA had a huge impact on my attitude as a candidate."

Val took the strategies and tactics she learned home to her campaign in Saratoga Springs. Today, she is "Mayor Valerie Keehn." And her success is just a taste of what's in store for 2006.

So, if Sam Alito on the Supreme Court upsets you as much as it does me, I hope you'll sign up for a DFA Training Academy event near you today. Running the best campaign possible is a prerequisite to victory. And training is essential for running a great campaign.

You have the power, now get the skills.

I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Arshad Hasan, DFA Training Academy Coordinator
