This is nothing more than an attempt to create a media event to supposedly show how much people really want Obamacare. How many ACORN and Black Panther types with nightsticks (such as in PA on election day) will be there?

It's not Grassroots! It's Astro-Turf!

In the actual email, the required disclosuse that this is really a DNC attempt to bully elected officials into supporting Obamacare is in VERY small type!

Back in my reporter days, when these “angry workers’ rallies” would occur in Moscow, we would describe them in our stories as “well-planned spontaneous demonstrations.”

Astroturfing, as perfected by Axelrod and company.

Watch for AARP to mobilize for more generational theft. A generation that has obtained more from the public teat than any other, and they all want more because the AARP tells them they deserve more. And Democrats continue to love to stimulate themselves by playing Santa Claus with other people’s money.

Obama is still campaigning...

******

“This victory alone is not the change we seek —
it is only the chance for us to make that change.”

— President Barack Obama, Election Night, 2008

Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering communities across the country to bring about our agenda of change.

In 2008, millions of Americans got involved in the political process — many for the first time — to fight for a new kind of politics and a better future for our country. Those voices enabled a new beginning — a chance to pursue the real world change our country needs. Now it’s time for our movement to rise again, stand with President Obama, and make that promise a reality.

There are many ways to get involved:

•Joining grassroots OFA campaigns to support the President’s agenda. Online, on the phone, on doorsteps and in town halls in communities across the country, we’re building the bottom-up support that makes real change possible.
•Spreading the word to friends and neighbors about the President’s approach on the big issues facing our nation, like health care, energy and education. Nothing is more powerful than your voice in your community.
•Serving our community in ways big and small. Rebuilding America starts today.
•Connecting with other supporters to form strong local groups, ready to take on whatever challenges we face.
•Supporting leaders who share our values and are ready to carry forward the fight for change .
Our task is enormous. To succeed, we’ll need all Americans, no matter how they may have voted, to join us in the work ahead. If we set aside the old politics that have kept us apart, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

Together, we can create a sustainable and independent clean energy economy. We can provide all American children the first rate education they deserve. And we can finally guarantee high-quality, affordable health care to every American man, woman and child.

Last November, the American people sent Washington a clear mandate for change. But when the polls close, the true work of citizenship begins. That’s what Organizing for America is all about. Now, in this crucial time, our voice once again has extraordinary power. Let’s use it.

The Current Situation
Making sure every American has access to high quality health care is one of the most important challenges of our time. The number of uninsured Americans is growing, premiums are skyrocketing, and more people are being denied coverage every day. A moral imperative by any measure, a better system is also essential to rebuilding our economy — we want to make health insurance work for people and businesses, not just insurance and drug companies.
The SolutionReform the health care system:
We will take steps to reform our system by expanding coverage, improving quality, lowering costs, honoring patient choice and holding insurance companies accountable.

Promote scientific and technological advancements:
We are committed to putting responsible science and technological innovation ahead of ideology when it comes to medical research. We believe in the enormous capacity of American ingenuity to find cures for diseases that continue to extinguish too many lives and cause too much suffering every year.

Improve preventative care:
In order to keep our people healthy and provide more efficient treatment we need to promote smart preventative care, like cancer screenings and better nutrition, and make critical investments in electronic health records, technology that can reduce errors while ensuring privacy and saving lives.

I’ve heard that ACORN and/or Soros and/or their clones pay people to post on appropriate websites (Facebook maybe? among others) to demonstrate a “grassroots” demand for something, like campaign finance “reform” (then) and probably healthcare “reform” now.

More from the OFA (AKA Barack Obama) web site:

Find a Health Care Reform
Week of Action Event Near You

When we all get together, and organize door-by-door, block-by-block, and neighborhood-by-neighborhood, we can build a movement from coast to coast.

It’s how we won a historic election — and it’s how we’ll make real, comprehensive health care reform a reality in 2009.

Congress is moving rapidly toward finalizing health care reform legislation, with crucial votes expected in both the House and the Senate within days. With so much at stake — and the D.C. lobbyists going into overdrive — we have to take our grassroots campaign to the next level.

All this week, OFA volunteers like you will be knocking on doors, making calls to neighbors, and attending public events to build the local support for health care reform we need to pass a strong final bill. If you can spare an hour or two for health care reform, this is the week to do it.

Judging from the number of articles in press and blogs today on Lou Dobbs and Birth Certifigate today, there is a ready fax line from the DNC to marching morons.

At least we know tomorrow’s “news” today.
