The Left knows how to plan activities, lobby etc. We, on the Right, are just a bunch of bumbling amateurs.

I've become so frustrated at how badly we handle things. There are time-proven techniques. Why don't we utilize them? Why don't we teach them to our grassroots organizations?

The New Israel Fund, the veteran Left-Wing umbrella organization, has Shatil. Shatil supports and trains community activists of various organization. Most are Left-wing and others are non-political.

I attended some of Shatil's sessions a number a years ago when I was working with a non-political organization.

I recently offered to help out the Hatikvah Party, but the professors running it totally snubbed me. There's another group I'd like to help. I have to contact them. I certainly don't know everything, but I do know that "we don't have to reinvent the wheel."

We'd be much better off following "how to succeed" techniques than our consistently unsuccessful guesswork.
