FreedomWorks doing Alinsky strategy training

Here is a short news article from Albany.  At first I thought it was Albany, NY and said ‘wow’ they are going into the belly of the beast, but it’s from Albany, Georgia.  Nonetheless, this is cool—using Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ to train Tea Partiers.

From Fox 31:

Two dozen Albany Tea Party members participated in a training session through the national organization FreedomWorks.

Attendees learned how to grow their organization and how to have more impactful and educational campaign strategies.

Nan Swift traveled from Washington D.C. to conduct the training and says there is one goal to the half day session. “We’re really hoping that at the end of the day everyone leaves with the tools to be able to examine bills and communicate free market issues to their neighbors and teach them how to get involved” says Swift.

The book utilized during the training is “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky.
