Democracy for America is bringing their Training Academy to Knoxville. For those that don't know what DFA is:
Democracy for America finds, trains, and supports fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates at all levels of office across the country. We harness the power of our enormous grassroots network to get these candidates elected and to work towards positive change from the bottom up. We provide organizational support and training opportunities to the hundreds of local DFA groups nationwide.
For anyone that's always wanted to get involved but didn't know how. For anyone that complains to their friends, complains on their blog, yells at their TV, wants to run that SUV with the W sticker off the road or is just plain fed up, this is your chance to learn how to put your energy to productive use.

Please spread the word. Thanks!
