Has anyone here been trained by DFA, 21st Century Dems, or Camp Wellstone?

I ask because I am considering taking their activist/organizer training, but I don't want to do it if it is all common sense, or if I could learn what they have to teach in another, easier way. Thank you in advance to all who reply.

1. I'm trying to enroll for their class with my friend for April

She had Paul Wellstone as her professor in a few courses and is really familiar with the program. (Yes, she believes he was killed.) She asked me to join her in the grassroot course coming up in Arizona. A gal we're helping in a local campaign took the course and highly recommends it.

2. I did the DFA grassroots organizing

day long class last summer. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot on organizing, campaign finance, identifying resources, setting goals, and establishing priortities.

It isn't exactly common sense but it was a lot of basic marketing and fundraising. So if you have that experience it my be too elementary for you.

What I really enjoyed was simply being in a crowd where I wasn't the most liberal person in the room.

I'd recommend it for the networking.
