DFA Candidate Training Academy

We talk about having the power -- now it's time to direct it toward
making a
difference!

And the DFA Training Academy is coming to Memphis, Tennessee on March
25th-
26th, 2006 to help you do just that!

Grassroots leaders are working to bring you a weekend full of campaign
training, simulation, and serious fun.

Local and national experts on campaign management, field organizing,
communications, and grassroots advocacy, and organization building will
be
on-hand to instruct and work with you one-on-one to develop the skills
needed to take our country back.

This is no social get-together; the training is an intensive two-day
series
of sessions and workshops geared toward your particular political
landscape.
We develop the program so you can go out and actually use the skills
you
learn as soon as you get home. We follow up with you to make sure you
have
the support you need in your communities.

We'll see you there!
