OK, so lunch break is over at DFA Campaign Academy. Arshad Hasan is thanking everyone at DFA-Orange County and the Orange County Employees Association for all the great work organizing this training weekend. Pretty soon, we’ll be going to our elective sessions.

So what have YOU been learning so far at DFA Campaign Academy? What do you still want to learn? How many new friends have you met? How many old friends have you caught up with? And have you now learned what you need to know to help your campaign win?

Go ahead. Make my day. Blow me away with your amazing new knowledge! (And for all of you NOT here this year, make sure you sign up next year? You won?t regret it!) : )

OK, we’re finishing today’s session right now. The room is PACKED with people from all over Southern California, people who want to be more effective in helping progressives win. We have people from Obama OC, people with San Diego for Edwards, and organizers for Bill Richardson in from Nevada! We have Hoyt Hilsman from the 26th Congressional District, Ron Shepston from the 42nd District, Bill Hedrick from the 44th District, Michael Wray from the 50th District, and many other Democratic candidates here. This is just amazing!

So what’s going on? We’re learning how to recruit volunteers right now. And before this workshop, we learned how to figure out how to win. See, what did I tell you? We’re getting a great education today!

So do you have any questions about helping Democrats win that you’d like me to ask the experts? Would you like to know if your best friend came today while you didn’t? Were you just running late, and would you like to know what you missed while stuck on the 55?

Go ahead. Make my day. Fire away! : )
