"Obama has, through his nonprofit group, “Public Allies,” been organizing and training a political cadre since 1993. There are fifteen fully-staffed and populated chapters, operating under the watchful eye of Michelle Obama.

The Obama Campaign is also conducting, at the state level, a “national program for social change,” called “Camp Obama.” Obama Campaign’s website promises that “you’ll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago,” and “Camp Obama is your chance to step up and become a leader in this movement.”

Is there a link to any of this info without having to sign up on his campaign home page?

I don't want to be associated with their email lists!! - but I'd like to pass along the information with a source.

Democrats' reintroduction of militant Michelle Obama in Denver was supposed to show her softer side.  But it only highlighted a radical part of her resume: Public Allies.

Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993.  Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps.  He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas.  They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of "social change."

The pitch Public Allies makes on its Web site doesn't seem all that radical.  It promises to place young adults (18-30) in paid one-year "community leadership" positions with nonprofit or government agencies.  They'll also be required to attend weekly training workshops and three retreats.

In exchange, they'll get a monthly stipend of up to $1,800, plus paid health and child care.  They also get a post-service education award of $4,725 that can be used to pay off past student loans or fund future education.

But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about "social change" through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation -- the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul Alinsky.

More on this unbelievable plan at Investor's Business Daily.

Public Allies is nothing more than an Alinsky training program designed to build a cadre of "community organizers" -- Obama wants to clone thousands of himself -- and on our dime.

The Obamas already have fifteen chapters churning out these radical Alinsky practitioners.

Public Allies has an impressive list of donors.

Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, Public Allies, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps.  He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

Now, Capital Research reports that there does indeed seem to be a "hidden Soros Slush Fund" in the Democratic Party’s official platform, as commentator Michelle Malkin recently pointed out.

At page 56 (PDF) of the platform document "Renewing America’s Promise," the party proposes the creation of a "Social Investment Fund Network":

A Partnership with Civic Institutions

Social entrepreneurs and leading nonprofit organizations are assisting schools, lifting families out of poverty, filling health care gaps, and inspiring others to lead change in their own communities.  To support these results-oriented innovators, we will create a Social Investment Fund Network that invests in ideas that work, tests their impact, and expands the most successful programs.

In practice, this Barack Obama brainchild would serve as a permanent, taxpayer-backed pipeline to organizations, such as Public Allies, masquerading as public-interest do-gooders.  This George Soros Slush Fund would be political payback in spades. Obama owes much of his Chicago political success to financial support from radical, left-wing billionaire and leading "social entrepreneur" Soros.
