Campaign Training Program
At the two-and-a-half day training, you’ll have the opportunity to choose one of two tracks:

Advanced Track: Working on a Campaign: This track is designed for you if you are one of our more experienced campaign volunteers. This track teaches participants the modern mechanics of organizing for political campaigns. During your sessions you will learn advanced techniques of targeting, organizing, media relations, volunteer coordination, Get Out the Vote, and the latest campaign technology.

Fundamentals Track: Working on a Campaign: This track is designed for you if you want to learn the step by step fundamentals necessary to be successful at the grassroots level. Topics will include: planning, volunteer recruitment, field, planning events, canvassing, earned media, and even writing a blog. You will learn the basic skills that are essential to putting your local issue or political campaign in the best position to win.

The Florida Young Democrats are co-sponsors of this training.

No on 2 Internet Action Day

The people pushing Amendment 2 have a ‘big’ announcement tomorrow. According to a press report, Florida4Marriage will host a series of news conferences, “to launch its campaign and name local leaders.”

Let’s be ready for them.

Let’s show them that we’re ready for their campaign of misinformation by making today our Biggest Internet Day!

Here are three things you can do right now in front of your computer that will help our campaign to defeat Amendment 2.

1) Sign the SayNo2 pledge on the campaign website!

2) Help us win $1,000 by going to eQualityGiving and voting for Florida Red and Blue in the box to the right!

3) Make a contribution yourself. Any amount you give – especially if you’ve given before – will make a great statement if you do it today. Giving $50, $30 or even $10 will be a great help!

These things we can all do to help keep this bad law out of our state constitution! I hope all of you at least take the time to go to eQualityGiving and click the poll. It doesn't require any registration or much time, just a click of the mouse.
