Daily Caller – Morton Blackwell – 11/26/2012
In the years leading up to
the 1980 election, conservative organizations ran massive political education
and training efforts. Activists were prepared by the thousands. That grassroots
infrastructure-building should be vigorously resumed.
If you contribute to a
candidate, you have the right to demand that his or her campaign give a healthy
budget to people-oriented programs: precinct organizations, youth efforts, etc.
These activities build grassroots infrastructure like no others.
If you are a donor to a
conservative organization, you should demand that a substantial portion of its
budget be spent on increasing the number and the effectiveness of its
activists. If a group fails to do this, give to other groups instead.
If you are a donor to a
party organization, demand that it spends your money
,
in part, on a serious program of political education and training. There is
hardly any area of political technology which cannot be mastered by a willing
local activist.
The winner in a political
contest is ultimately determined by the number and the effectiveness of the
activists and leaders on the respective sides — not their TV commercials.
