Learn how GRNC has won so many legislative battles in the 31 years of its existence. Taught by GRNC co-founder and president Paul Valone, you will learn why conventional lobbying fails by comparison to grass roots mobilization, and why everything you have heard about politics is conveniently wrong. We invite people interested in volunteering at the NC General Assembly with GRNC’s Legislative Action Team to join us, as well as anyone interested in learning better ways to defend your rights. Please RSVP to DirectorOfDevelopment@GRNC.org.
Seminar topics:
- Why you are probably unprepared for political action
- The real nature of politics
- The real nature of politicians
- The nature of your opposition
- Issue management
- Political mechanics of direct action – it ain’t ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’
- Legislative action via grass roots mobilization
- How & why we must WIN ELECTIONS
GRNC Legislative Action Team needs you!
