Dear Editor,

DFA Night School, our pioneering online campaign training program, is back for the 2007 Spring Semester.

We're kicking it off Tuesday, March 6 with our guest expert Tom Swan, Director of Connecticut Citizen Action and former campaign manager for DFA-List candidate Ned Lamont. You'll learn the skills for citizen lobbying and the tactics to make sure you're effective. Best of all, DFA Night School is free.

Last year, Democracy for America changed the landscape of campaign trainings forever. DFA Night School, our free one hour on-line progressive training, taught targeted skills and vital tactics with help from special experts like Prof. George Lakoff and former Dean for America New Hampshire Director Karen Hicks. The web presentation and nationwide conference call are so easy that over 6,000 DFA members participated from their own home in just the first round of classes.

All month, Night School will increase your skills and help take your grassroots volunteering to the next level. Whether you're an old hand or learning for the first time -- Night School is for you. This semester we're training activists to build on progressive victories between elections. Here's a look at what's coming next:

Victory is not just something that happens during election years. We earn it. DFA members are committed to sustaining the progressive victories we've built last year. Are you?

I hope to see you online!
