			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to elect more candidates that think like we do and are more concerned with Main Street than Wall Street?  If so we need knowledgeable, trained candidates with trained staff to run for office.</p>
<p align="center"><em>What is a tweet and why would we send one?</em></p>
<p align="center"><em>How do we get the media to show up at our event?</em></p>
<p align="center"><em>What is our message and how do we frame it?</em></p>
<p>These questions and more will be answered at the <strong>Democracy for America Campaign Academy</strong>.</p>
<p>DFA-MC is scheduling an Academy for anyone who would like to run or work on a campaign, but we need at least 50 people to express interest by <a title="signing up here" href="http://democracyforamerica.com/activities/667-phoenix-arizona-campaign-academy"><strong>signing up here</strong></a>.</p>
<p>We are not asking you to commit now, just express interest.  We will send details to all when we reach the magic number and can schedule the two day training.</p>
