Are you a common-sense conservative? Then run for a local office!

American Majority is challenging common-sense conservatives to run for local offices in their communities.

If all politics is local, as the saying goes, then we must win locally.  This is why it is extremely important for everyday conservatives to become active at their local and municipal levels of government.  I can't emphasize enough that in addition to promoting good-government, we help establish it as well.

City Councils and School Boards oversee and spend millions of American taxpayer dollars. School Board and City Council members play a critical role in local governments, and it’s time we start treating them that way by ensuring there are viable conservative voices at the tables of local government.

As citizens, our local government is the level of government we have the closest contact with and over which we should have the most direct control.

Oftentimes, however, local governments are paid the least amount of attention by voters, are the least transparent, and therefore are the least fiscally responsible.  Sadly, this trend is not an exception, it has become the norm: funding at the local levels and in school districts continues to increase and yet government waste is at an all time high as we continue to see test scores drop.

Evidently, real change is needed. We need more people dedicated to seeing the system work, and American Majority is ready to help get those dedicated people elected.

With the local office filing deadline (in most Texas cities and towns) close upon us, American Majority seeks to identify and offer professional-grade candidate training to good, commonsense conservatives interested in running (and winning) elections for local/municipal office.

I am a tea party leader!

As reported on BigGovernment.com:

Bill Clinton and James Carville have decided to "attack" the tea party leaders.  Someone should have clued them in to the fact that there are thousands of us.  We are a grassroots movement, one that is led from the bottom up, not the top down.  If they want to attack us, they will have millions to choose from.

The Tea Party Patriots have developed a website http://www.iamtheteapartyleader.com/ for all tea party people to submit their video.  Go to the link for more details.
