Get ready for an eye-opening look at how politics really works!
In this straight-talking presentation, Dr. Val Finnell goes beyond the speeches, handshakes, and political promises to explain what really influences elected officials—and why traditional lobbying doesn't always produce the results people expect.
Using the principles of “Confrontational Politics,” Dr. Finnell will explore what motivates politicians, why they may avoid taking positions on controversial issues, and how organized voter pressure can influence political decision-making.
Attendees Will Learn How To:
--Hold elected officials accountable
--Evaluate candidates by examining their voting records and actions
--Organize supporters around important issues
--Make their voices heard when important legislation is on the line
--Build a more organized and effective grassroots effort
Designed for Second Amendment advocates looking to become more effective in the political arena, this session provides practical tools and strategies for turning concerned citizens into an organized grassroots force.
Come ready to learn, engage, and leave with practical tools you can put to work.
