Website:blogtalkradio.com/DemocracyForAmerica/2008/07/17/DFA-Night-School-Framing-the-2008-Election
Ever wonder why simply stating our positions on the hot button issues isn't enough to win votes? Or why Democrats who try and adopt conservative stances on issues usually lose their elections even in conservative districts?
Professor George Lakoff has the answers and will show us how to frame the solutions during the conference call. Professor Lakoff will be highlighting specific thinking points from his new book "The Political Mind" and teaching the framing progressives need to know to win.
Night School is DFA's interactive online training program. Every month Night School brings top campaign experts right to your home at absolutely no cost to you. You can listen live from your computer on Blog Talk Radio or call into a nationwide conference call on your telephone. The training will last approximately one hour and will be accompanied by a slideshow you can view online or download and print out. Check back here before the training to download the slides.
No extra applications are necessary, simply RSVP above and you'll receive an email with all the necessary information. Then join us live on July 17th at 2:30pm PsT for the training.
