From American Majority:
Welcome to the newly designed AmericanMajority.org. Please take advantage of our free resources, including podcasts, guides, and presentations. We hope you will sign up for email alerts under our Join tab so that we can include you in upcoming trainings and announcements. Thank you for all you do.
No normal person begins a journey or a trip without a destination in mind. There is planning involved: a destination is chosen, and then the path is planned to get you from point A to point B. And when one is planning that path, a typical person seeks the most effective and efficient way to get to the destination. In many ways, a campaign is like a journey, with of course the destination being victory.
But what is victory? It is of course, when boiled down to its essence, getting more votes than the other guy (or gal). So the vote goal is the destination, and everything on a campaign, from message to media to GOTV, is aimed at that goal. So how are you going to find that goal?
Click here for the Vote Goal video to determine the total number of votes a candidate will need to win based on historical election data.

PoliticalGravity has developed groundbreaking campaign technology for conservatives ONLY! A campaign that utilizes our suite of products has a competitive edge over their opponent that we will never compromise by selling to a liberal or democrat. That alone sets us apart from all of our competition but that only scratches the surface of why our technology will help you win your next campaign.
GroundSWELL™ is the tool to use year round to canvass and campaign to voters at their front door using smart phones. With efficient routing, intuitive questioning, candidate video integration, social media interaction and instant database updates it creates an efficiency never seen in politics.
10 Minute Activist™ is the tool to use in the days leading up to early voting and Election Day. This cutting edge technology identifies supporters by proximity to the volunteer using the GPS setting in their phone. Now it’s their neighbor knocking on their door rather than a volunteer for the campaign. This changes the entire dynamic of the conversation and adds peer pressure to get them to vote.
