I've found the conservative brainwashing operation of the GOP...

Mission
The Leadership Institute's mission is to identify, recruit, train, and place conservatives in politics, government, and the media.

{snip}

The Leadership Institute's Youth Leadership School is an intense, two-day
school for students who want to learn how to lead fellow youth activists,
build effective student organizations, get out the vote for your candidate
or cause, and use the media to get your message out.


If you are a TEENPACT student, you get free admission, including:


Course materials


Meals for the duration of the training


Hotel costs for out-of-town students


Optional student-organized Sunday prayer service


This Youth Leadership School is at Belmont University in Nashville, February 21-22. I am attaching a PDF with more information. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

6. What's really astonishing is how organized it is

That's a pretty slick website.

Is there a Progressive/Liberal equivalent?

All that money diverted to the top 1% income fatcats means they have unlimited resources for propaganda.

Good find.
