Conservative Group Launches Summer School For Political Activists

A conservative group has unveiled a series of online tutorials designed to train conservative and Tea Party activists ahead of the summer Congressional recess and November elections.

Liberty Central -- founded by Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas – is partnering with the Leadership Institute (LI), the organization founded by long-time conservative activist Morton Blackwell, to produce the training videos and accompanying Web site, LibertyCentralTraining.org.

In a memo obtained by CNSNews.com, Liberty Central told its members that August, when Congress is in recess, is “accountability month.” The group is urging conservatives to lobby their elected representatives in a repeat of last summer’s contentious town hall meetings, where legislators faced an unexpected surge of voter displeasure.

“August has arrived, which means that we are about to kick off our first annual “August is Accountability Month” project,” the memo read. “Members of Congress are about to leave Washington, D.C., for their home districts, and it’s important that we let them know what we’re thinking and make sure they face another tough August recess.

“We must hold our Senators and Representatives accountable and asking them questions, and holding events during August to make them defend their votes is a great way to do this!”

The Web site’s opening video, narrated by conservative author Herman Cain, offers viewers a stark choice.

“Will American be self governed according to the truth of a document that begins with three simple words; ‘We the people,’ or will we be ruled by a robust, elitist government our founders would never recognize? Self-governed or ruled? That’s what we as ordinary citizens must decide,” Cain says in the video.
