Jon Fleischman spent nearly four decades in California politics, including a run as Executive Director of the California Republican Party, and he founded FlashReport. Michael brings him on to answer a question most gun owners never think to ask: in a room full of politicians and consultants who are not gun people, how much does the gun vote actually matter, and how do you make it matter more?
This is a masterclass in being an effective advocate instead of a loyal voter who gets taken for granted:
-Why a candidate's position on guns is a litmus test for everything else
-The "dime or your time," and the two easiest things you can do from your couch tonight
-Why endorsements should come with report cards, and how to handle a C-plus running against an F
-Treat a politician like an underperforming employee, not a hero
-Run for the school board: the founders risked far more than you would
