Learning the fundamentals to grassroots political success
Submitted by Drew Mckissick on Sat, 12/26/2009 - 12:59I've spent a good bit of time in the past few years working to create a type of self-help "how to" resource for those who want to learn the basics of how to be effective when it comes to conservative political grassroots activism. And now, at long last, it's done.
The "it" in question is "Grassroots 101: Grassroots Training Series". Grassroots "101", as in the first in a series of resources and ebooks that will focus on "the fundamentals of political success", and "Grassroots Training Series", as in a series of three manuals that take you step by through the basics of political activism for beginners, intermediate and advanced activists.

Submitted by Drew Mckissick on Sun, 03/30/2008 - 20:08Here they come again, liberals wanting South Carolina to go to a system of public financing for political campaigns. The latest plea for making you finance candidates you don't even support comes from Common Cause's State Director John Crangle, via an editorial in the State Paperthis week...
Follow @DrewMcKissickIt is obvious that self-financed, rich candidates have major unfair advantages over non-wealthy candidates who must raise contributions to run — rich candidates can donate huge unlimited sums to their own campaigns while normal fund-raiser candidates are limited by state law to no more than $3,500 per source per election for statewide office or $1,000 per source for legislative office. The rich candidate can donate much more to his campaign than his fund-raiser opponent can raise, and further spend no time on fund-raising and much more time campaigning.
