Dear James,

Progressive Majority Ally Calls for Campaign Camp Applications

http://www.progressivemajority.org/

Are you an American Indian that wants to run for political office or
work on
a political campaign for an American Indian candidate?

Do you want to increase the political power in Indian Country?

Do you know an Indian leader that does?

If so, our partner organization Indigenous Democratic network, INDN's
List,
wants you and future leaders throughout Indian Country to come to
Campaign
Camp 2007. Visit www.indnslist.org/campaign_camp_2007 for more
information
and to download an application.

INDN's List is calling for applications for its 2007 training event
Campaign
Camp. The INDN Campaign Camp 2007 program will be August 20-25 at the
Morongo Band of Mission Indians Reservation, in Cabazon, California.
Campaign Camp is a weeklong training workshop for potential Indian
candidates and their campaign staffs. The application deadline is
June 15
and spots are filling fast. Spread the news to your friends and get
your
applications in now!

By giving American Indians the critical tools and hard skills they
need to
run a political campaign, the camp is a key part of INDN's List's
efforts in
2008 to elect even more Progressive Indians to offices all across the
nation. INDN's List shares with us a commitment to electing a durable
Progressive majority in communities and states all across the
country, and
in building grassroots political power for those who need it most.

The training will include sessions on fundraising, targeting, direct
mail,
message, field organizing, canvassing and phone banks, using a voter
file,
working with tribes, local and state parties, building a political
resume
and GOTV, to name just some of the topics covered. Participants will
be
trained by the best and brightest campaign professionals in the
country, and
will hear speeches from political leaders and personalities
throughout the
week. Progressive Majority is an official co-host of the event, and
we will
be sending our own trainers and expertise to the camp.

In 2005, Campaign Camp hosted 109 people from 21 states and 50 Indian
Nations. Fifty men and fifty-nine women participated in the training.
That
turnout was key to the success of INDN's List in the 2006 election
cycle,
where the organization mounted a 77 percent win record, and
organizers
expect this year's camp to be even bigger. Political and tribal
leaders,
campaign consultants, and media personalities recognize this as one
of the
country's premier training events and certainly the only political
training
of its kind in Indian Country, and they are eager to be a part of it.
Gov.
Howard Dean has already committed to returning to Campaign Camp, and
more
are on the way.

If you're interested in joining the political process as a candidate
or
staff organizer, we'd love to have you at Campaign Camp. Remember,
applications are due June 15 so tell your friends and fellow
Progressives
there's no time to lose! Visit www.indnslist.org/campaign_camp_2007
to get
all the information and begin your application today.

Sincerely,

Gloria A. Totten
President
Progressive Majority
