The result was No Consensus to delete. Participants in the discussion have advanced to opposed points of view, that the organization fails the relevant notability guidelines and that the guidelines should be liberally interpreted or set aside for political organizations. While not embodied in the text of, say, WP:ORG the view that we should have deliberately broad coverage of political parties and organizations is common enough at AfD and I am not willing to ignore a view espoused by three upstanding members of the community in good faith, especially when the discussion has only six participants. Also there is no apparent concern that coverage is insufficient to meet the policy standard of verifiability. Given the above analysis an No Consensus close is inevitable.

This group claims to be notable for organizing several Tea Party protests between 2009-2010, in particular the Kansas City tea party at the Liberty Memorial (see List of Tea Party protests, 2010). In April 2010, a single wire story about the Tea Party mentioned the group and was picked up by two sources, the Winnipeg Free Press[1] and the McClatchy-Tribune News Service[2]. The story was a reprinted news item from a Kansas City Star article which mentioned the group in the context of "thousands of tea partiers and hundreds of tea party groups". The organizer of the group, Andrea Plunkett, then a student and previously a volunteer for McCain's 2008 campaign, received a glowing hagiography by KCUR-FM[3] and the group received passing mention in local news stories about political races in 2010.[4] However, Americans for Conservative Training appears to be a defunct, Facebook-only group at this time[5] with little encyclopedic importance. I have no objection to a redirect to Tea Party protests but I fail to see the importance of a group whose sole claim to fame is organizing a protest in Kansas City and backing a losing candidate.
