Camp Wellstone is coming to Portland, February 1-3, 2008. Don't miss out on this exciting training opportunity to gear up for the 2008 elections. This 2.5 day training, based on the late Senator Paul Wellstone's model, combines lectures from highly experienced trainers, stimulating exercises, and interactive simulations. We're counting on you to organize around issues that matter and elect progressive candidates to office. Register for one of the following tracks: Citizen activist--learn how to win on issues and build community power. Working on a Campaign--learn how to run successful electoral campaigns. Being a Candidate--learn the skills needed for running for office yourself. The cost of Camp Wellstone is a sliding scale based on ability to pay. Rates are as follows: $200 (full cost), $100 (50% of training cost), or $50 (25% of training cost). This fee includes materials, a copy of our book Politics the Wellstone Way, and three meals during the weekend. We are not able to guarantee your space at the Camp unless payment is received two weeks prior to the start date. This Camp will be held at University Place Hotel and Conference Center on the campus of Portland State University. Camp runs from 2-9pm Friday, 9am-6pm Saturday, and 9am-3:30pm Sunday. Participants are responsible for their own accommodations. If you have any questions about this training, please contact Jen Haut at jennifer@wellstone.org or at 651.414.6037.
