Dear Friends,

Last year’s elections were no cake walk. It was hard work for all of us. But instead of letting that work go to waste, we need to secure these victories and work for more to come.

P.S. One more thing, even though the Presidential election is more than 20 months away, the race has already begun. DFA has an opportunity to influence the presidential primary process and the candidates’ positions. Do you think DFA should jump into the presidential primaries as an organization? Help us decide. Take the primary survey now:

At the DFA Training Academy, experienced campaign professionals will cover practical strategies and tactics including communications, fundraising, voter targeting, online organizing, and building a sustainable grassroots movement. We design the program so you can go out and use the skills you learn right away. Then, we follow up with you to make sure you have the support you need to organize your community.
The 2008 Presidential race is already beginning to take shape. You and I both know that the grassroots are more than just a passive audience in this race. The DFA Training Academy will prepare you to become an asset to whichever candidate you end up supporting.
But this is more than just a presidential race. This past November Democrats across the country were successful in races from the U.S. Senate to local city councils. In addition to the standard campaign curriculum, we also will focus on strategies geared toward retaining the seats won last year and building Democratic majorities in 2008 and beyond.
