I love the enthusiasm that spills out of the grassroots campaign training seminars that I'm giving. It's exciting to watch people realize that they can profoundly impact elections with just a bit of discipline and commitment.

The first part of the seminar is helping the grassroots know what they can do, and part of that is what I call The 350 Plan. The jar with money in it that you see in this post is from someone who attended the training in Columbus, just west of Houston and Katy. About 35 were there.

And they're getting organized.

The 350 Plan is a simple idea that I cover in "The Goal is to Win." From the book:

All of us spend money on frivolous things every month. Might be a pizza that we didn't really need. A movie that turned out to be a turkey. A Starbucks addiction. Whatever it is, we all spend money on something we regret later.

What is freedom worth?

You have monthly bills that you pay. What if your liberty was a monthly utility bill? With that bill, you could have the representatives in office who truly represent you. What would that be worth?

Let's say $25 a month. Less if you're on a fixed income. More if you can afford it.

If you put $25 a month into a jar on the shelf, an envelope in the drawer, or a savings account that receives a payment directly from your every paycheck... after twelve months, you would have $300 saved.

Can you commit to that for the sake of saving our culture?

And what if others did that as well? Say, 350 of you in a state house or a congressional district did this very thing. In a year's time, you would have saved up a total of over $100K.

If all of you gave that to a grassroots challenger at the start of the campaign, not only would the challenger begin with $100K, but the campaign would have 350 local supporters.

This is how it begins. And it can happen without ever leaving your living room.

The calendar in the menu shows where I'm headed next. Williamson County, Montgomery County, Lufkin, Llano, Chambers County... and a few others that haven't picked their date yet.

Let's gear up to get great representatives at every level of government. We can do just that if we organize just a bit. The good news is that people are.

We the People. Embracing that phrase won us our liberty once. Let's do it again.
