Coalition for a Conservative Majority

Recently, I have become involved with a new organization put together by Tom Delay and Ken Blackwell called the Coalition for a Conservative Majority (CCM). The proposition is simple. The CCM was established as a 501 (c) (4) non-profit to promote conservative values. As an issues-based organization, we cannot advocate for any candidate. Our entire focus is conservative issues.

We are meeting the first Monday if each month at various locations around the Springs. Last month was our first meeting as a separate chapter. We elected officers and discussed meeting nights and venues. Last night we begin the process of developing our bylaws. Our chapter president, Kyle Fisk, will take the concepts agreed upon by the membership and work up the draft bylaws for distribution and editing.

The CCM Colorado Springs will be an umbrella organization to focus stovepiped conservative organizations for advocacy purposes. The concept is that with a coalition of organizations, more can be accomplished than with a few individual, single-purposed organizations. We will have various committees to work with and coordinate our efforts with the coalition organizations.
This is a very short description of the CCM – Colorado Springs. The only way we will be able to succeed will be to recruit conservative activists who really care what happens to this country. Efforts like this can only succeed if we, here at the grass roots level, work to make our voices heard.

OK, here comes the pitch. The cost of membership is $52/yr. That is only $1/wk. The really good part is that you will be allowed to work for something worthwhile.
Our website is http://www.ccmajority.org . To navigate to the Colorado Springs chapter page, click on the map and then click on Colorado Springs. The website is still new and maturing. We will eventually have links to various partner organizations as well as tabs that will take you to our core tenants.

As you will see, there are still a lot of chapters to establish, so you will truly be getting in on the ground floor.Those of you who live outside the Springs area, check our website and see if there is a chapter in your area. If not, contact me or the national organization and see if there are any plans to start one near you.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me. If I can’t answer them, I can get you an answer.

Thanks for considering membership. I hope to see you at the next meeting.

Dan
