Due to a severe backlog with processing candidate contracts we’re looking for a Contracting Manager.
They will oversee the contracting process for every candidate in every state. The manager will be empowered to recruit a small staff to ensure smooth and quick processing time for our candidates. The manager and staff will work with existing state coordinators. As usual this is a volunteer position.
Minor image editing skills required.
Must know how to fill out a spreadsheet.
Must be excited–or at least curious.
If interested (or if you know someone who might be) comment on this post or send an email to jacob@912candidates.org

912Candidates.org is recruiting authors for the website. The intent is to have a series of authors conduct interviews and write articles about our candidates and what they’re doing. There is a LOT of good ideas being employed by our current candidates, and these good ideas need to get out.
The campaign staff of each candidate is responsible for getting the message out to the constituents, but these ideas and actions ought to be viewed by a larger audience. They also ought to be shared between campaigns. To help this happen 912Candidates.org will publish articles written about candidates, informing our audience about what they’re doing. Campaigns can then use the site as a tool to research good ideas for their success.
The 9/12 Community is already discussing candidates. We have a role to play beyond finding those willing to pledge their sacred honor. We need to provide the venue for the conversation. This is why for several weeks our website was quiet while we focused on organizing a staff to create a 9/12 Convention.
The 9/12 Community is vast and can’t be encapsulated by any title. We are bound by principle, not policies. Our policy for what is a 9/12 candidate is well respected by 9/12ers. We need to help them learn about what our candidates are doing so the next round of patriots can learn from these candidates and be successful in every race across the nation. There’s a lot of local school boards across this country, and the more 9/12ers elected to those positions the greater chance we have of not just making an immediate difference, but a lasting one.
If you blog, write, edit, or have the desire to learn how to compose articles you’re welcome to contribute to 912Candidates.org. A “regular staff” will be chosen based upon their submissions, to include an “Editor in Chief” who will be responsible for reviewing and overseeing this part of the effort on the website.
Contributions should be sent to jacob@ 912Candidates.org. A basic guideline for writing articles can be found using google or here: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Write-a-Newspaper-Article-Quickly-and-Easily!&id=555083
Thank you all.

There are hundreds of 9/12 groups across this great country. Many are local, some are state/regional level and a few are national level organizations. 912Candidates.org seeks to provide a contracting process that can be respected by each of these groups. We have raised our standards and clarified our contracting process. You can see a link in the upper right hand corner to “contracting.” These endorsements are from 912Candidates.org and they do NOT limit any existing 9/12 group from operating according to their by-laws, and their conscience.
I hope this clarifies some of the questions people have been posing via email.
It’s no excuse, but I’ve found myself with less free time and have been putting more effort into spending time with our (now) 4 children. I have felt a great deal of weight on my conscience to process the 17 contracts I have pending. I will try to find more efficient ways to use my time, and continue to provide this service to the 9/12 community.
Thank you for your patience.
