- Description:
- The document discusses the importance of political education and action, particularly in organizing labor unions for political participation. It criticizes old-school politicians who are resistant to change and fear losing their power to non-professional citizens. The National Citizens Political Action Committee conducts a school to teach practical political techniques to 500 students. The document highlights the need for a more militant democracy and the importance of getting more people involved in political decision-making. The document also mentions the Republican forums organized by Harold Stassen as a positive development. The instructors at the school are described as young and intellectual, with a focus on informing and empowering the average citizen in politics.
