WASHINGTON — A powerful new lobbying force is coming to town: Barack Obama's triumphant army of 3.1 million Internet-linked donors and volunteers.
In a mass e-mail thanking them, written moments before his Grant Park victory speech, Obama put them on notice. "We have a lot to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next," he wrote.
Many are eager. "I'm going to be sitting at the phone, asking, 'What do you want me to do next? I'm ready,' " said volunteer Courtney Hood, 37, a mother of three from Owings, Md.
How Obama will use his ardent laptop-armed cadres is unclear. So is the extent to which they'll rally behind his priorities, press him for their own or both.
Joe Trippi, the Internet politics guru whose computer geeks made Howard Dean a contender in 2004 and who went on to design Obama's socially networked campaign machine, offers a provocative and educated guess.
Trippi predicted that Obama would use his forces, first and foremost, to intimidate congressional foes of his agenda, rally his allies and forge "one of the most powerful presidencies in American history."
Certainly, Obama reaches the White House with the biggest, best organized, fastest-acting grass-roots army in the history of presidential campaigning.
Moreover, because his Internet operation was miles ahead of Republican John McCain's, Obama's liberal-to-libertarian electronic activists are in a position to dominate the new political medium much as conservative Republicans dominate talk radio.
As for political utility, many thousands of volunteers such as Hood will be deployable within hours, with great precision and at almost no cost, thanks to the campaign's state-of-the-art information-management systems.

Arnold isn’t eligible and would not be welcome even if he were due to his ultra-RINO liberalism.
of course he is eligible.
as was proven yesterday, being a natural born citizen of the US is no longer a requirement.
as for his liberal views, once pelosi and ‘the one’ are done with us, arnold will look like a far right extremist in comparison

Kinda like one of those zombie movies. You know? The ones that are all bloodied up and come after you. Creeps.
My little black pointy friend at the ready...
***That it?
Come get some***
Seconded
They’ll have to find me first.
Honestly, I’d say 2/10, Carolyn.
Let’s hope so, but you won’t find anybody to carry the story except for our usual guys and gals.
If Palin were to become unable to execute her duties as President, Ahnuld is not eligible to be President as he was not born here.
I am willing to bet a lot of these volunteers were college students. They are going to be singing a different tune when they graduate in 4 years when reality hits and there are no jobs for them - except of course in the “Civilian Security Forvce”
schwarz is a liberal, and he is not eligable because he is not a natural born citizen, but then agian neither is barry sotero.
I’m relatively new, but have to wonder the same thing. A rash of new signups now would be a bit suspicious.
Obama is already building a cadre to lead his own “army” — and he’s got a ton of money — more than $75 million.
Obama has, through his nonprofit group, “Public Allies,” a pun on Alinsky’s “people’s organizations,” has 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,” and there’s no marshmallows at Camp Obama. Here’s their sign-up page — you too can be a “Deputy Field Organizer.”
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.”
Movement? What movement?
Public Allies and Camp Obama are Alinsky training programs designed to build a core group of “community organizers” dedicated to “social change” in their communities.
Their charter will be to bring about “Change.” They’ll do this through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation — getting people “pissed off” — the tactics of Alinsky.
Obama is cloning thousands of baby Obamas — a “people’s organization” — and on our dime.
A “movement” — dedicated to social change by getting people “pissed off” — and there will be thousands of them.
If Obama should sit in the Oval Office, just what do you think he has planned for these guys?
And — if Obama shouldn’t sit in the Oval Office, just what do you think he has planned for these guys?
Remember this?
On July 2nd, 2008, Obama spoke in Colorado Springs and hit themes of national service, foreign policy, and national security. In that vein, Obama proposed a rather extraordinary idea — that the US should spend as much money on a civilian national security force as it does on the military. (video)
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
And what color shirts will they wear?
Lenin said this about socialism: “The goal of socialism is communism.”
None of this is good.

There is always a way to get a sheep to go down the other road without them knowing they have turned. What % of the 3 mill are actually going to do something. When I think of the brown shirts I see Ralph blowing his whistle in the cemetery. Make sure they don’t take your gun, first.
Hello Beckwith, TWP, why don’t we infiltrate them? Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
The RNC chair isn’t the only one who needs to know, we could join forces with the Libertarians and the new Constitution party. Just to expose this. The biggest problem I see is the MSM again. Most of the sheople get their “facts” from CNN or Oprah. We need our own conservative MSM outlet, besides talk radio. Most talk radio listeners are doing something else while listening. Sheople watch SNL and the news for entertainment and think they are learning something.
I’ve already wondered about a few are currently here.
These are Obama’s Blue Shirts.
