Welcome to the Fourth Activist Training Webinar
Building a Legislative Liberty Coalition

By Tom DeWeese

I am very pleased to present the fourth in the series of our special training webinars for local activists.

This week features my great friend, Washington State Representative Matt Shea. Matt gives a great overview on how to organize and change the debate to help all activists get started. He’s faced it all and knows how to be effective.

Specifically, Matt and I share a strategy, especially for state legislators who are in a minority position to network and create a Liberty Coalition that can be incredibly effective.

In this special presentation we offer a package of five bills that can be introduced as part of the Liberty Coalition. We provide a strategy for how they should be introduced, promoted, and passed. Each of these bills is available in the Local Activist Handbook that APC has created. Best of all, these five bills and the strategy behind the Liberty Coalition can be used at every level of government, from city council, to county commission, to the state legislature.

This is truly a powerful training webinar. Please share it with your friends and perhaps local elected officials that you may know.

I hope you are learning from these presentations. If you have questions for us on any of the details presented in any of the webinars, please send them to us at: https://americanpolicy.org/contact-us/

It’s time to take American back!

THE ACTIVIST’S HANDBOOK

HOW TO FIGHT BACK IN YOUR COMMUNITY

There is a determined force in the world dedicated to an agenda designed to “reorganize human society.” To achieve that agenda they are on a drive to change our American economic system, abolish private property, and change our system of representative government.

Most importantly, they have focused on making those changes primarily through control of government on the local and state levels. They have trained a cadre of activists to present and promote legislative programs that are backed by various funding programs to entice local representatives to enact their agenda. That’s why it’s at the local and state levels where we must make our stand to stop them.

The goal is to take a stand to promote and defend the three main principles of freedom including free enterprise, private property, and limited government intrusion in our lives. Specifically taking direct action in your own community, thereby establishing it as a pocket of freedom or a “Freedom Pod.” This becomes a shining example to then pass to the next community, and the next, creating a freedom movement. This manual is designed to provide the tools and training necessary to accomplish that goal.

In the Activist’s Handbook:

In the Activist Tool Kit:

• How to take the offensive and control the action.
• How to research and expose the Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and planners that influence city policy.
• Documents that provide comprehensive background information on the origins, supporters, and details of the policies we face.
• How to organize on the local level.
• How to network with other activists and build your movement.
• How to get media attention, using social media, and writing effective letters to the editor.
• Legal Action/ Making Representatives personally responsible for their actions.
• Legislative Action/ the Five Bill Package and how to use it.

In addition to the Activists Workbook, APC has created the Tool Kit, located on the APC website. Here you will find

• Many more documents to aid your research on dangerous planning policies
• Important forms and background materials on how to file the Civil Rights Act, Section 1983 claims
• Videos of major movement leaders that can be used for group programs
• Recordings from the APC local activist training webinar series. These can be used to create your own training program.

In addition, the Tool Kit will be updated anytime we receive new documents or tactics for fighting back. That way it will always be fresh and up to date – a constant, reliable tool for on-going training!

One of America’s best informed and most respected champions of free enterprise and principled government is Tom DeWeese. – Ron Arnold, author and executive vice president, Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise  

Tom DeWeese is a vital force in the battle for American liberty because he tells it like it is, holding back nothing as he cuts through the politically-correct smokescreen to get out the truth. – Jerome Corsi, Author  

From afar, I have long admired your courage and your immense talent for writing. You personally represent that which I admire above all else: the brave American patriot upon whom free people everywhere depend to save America from the Socialism that now threatens it and thereby the Free World. – Judi McLeod, Editor, CanadaFreePress.com

Our country should always feel a great debt to people like Tom DeWeese and others, who literally make it their business to monitor what Washington is doing, where big government is taking us, and alerting us that “we the people” can still be in charge, if we’re informed and active. Keep it up, Tom! – Pat Boone

I’ve read hundreds of political books over the years – and rank yours as one of the most eye-opening of all – but more than that, I think it is perhaps the most nuts and bolts (how to) solution-oriented book of this class I’ve ever read, placing it on a pedestal in the midst of a very small class of valuable books. – Steve Farrell, Founder, Self-Educated American
