Is is legal for Obama to continue to campaign like this by email while acting as the President and to have this email signed also by Joe Biden? It would seem to me that Both Obama and Biden need to stop the politics and start running the country. Perhaps we might have something to starting hitting them with. This is really getting to be a very slimly group Obama and Biden.
I'm not an attorney but shouldn't this type of constant campaigning be a violation of some law?
Below is an email that I received today:
Body of Letter:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave --
We've got a fight on our hands. Powerful insurance companies are pulling out all the stops to defeat the President's plan for health reform. They're spending seven million bucks a week on lobbyists, blanketing the country with deceptive TV ads, and just funded two high-profile "reports" to distort what reform would mean for you.
I know their game. I was in the Senate the last time health reform came around, and I saw the special interests savage our efforts. Frankly, under the old rules of Washington they were nearly impossible to beat. But now, thanks to you, the rules are changing. All the lies, scare tactics and lobbyist shake-downs in the world are no match for the incredible work of Organizing for America supporters like you. That's exactly what frightens them so much -- and it's what Barack and I are counting on.
After decades of false starts, we're now just a short time from finally passing real reform. Every member of Congress will soon have to cast their vote. As real change draws near, you can bet the insurance companies will hold nothing back. That means OFA will need the extra resources to beat back whatever attack they can dream up next. Here's the bottom line: it's not time to let up -- it's time to double down.
Please donate $5 or more to power OFA's fight for change as we head into the final round.
When I talk about you changing the rules in Washington, here's what I mean: This week, crucial negotiations on Capitol Hill are shaping a comprehensive reform proposal. At the same time, the insurance companies' phony reports are grabbing headlines and their lobbyists are twisting arms. But your work is keeping them from setting us back.
On Tuesday, OFA supporters around the country organized more than 1,000 local outreach events and generated an astounding 330,000 calls to Congress from constituents telling their representatives that "it's time to deliver." From my years in Congress and my conversations with Senate colleagues this week, I can tell you with confidence that your message broke through and you helped keep us on track.
If this fight were only about guaranteeing the choice of secure, quality, affordable care for every American, it would be worth everything we could throw at it. But as Barack reminded us this week, this fight for change is now about something even bigger: a test of whether or not "we as a nation are capable of tackling our toughest challenges, if we can serve the national interest despite the unrelenting efforts of the special interests; if we can still do big things in America."
I believe we can. And Barack believes we can. But what really matters is whether you believe we can. If you do, now is the moment to make it happen. Please contribute today:

Thank you,
Vice President Joe Biden
Since when did legalities or ethics bother these clowns?
I agree, odumbo is sickening
I believe it is ok for a President to campaign and all have done so but not like this POS
So far odumbo has savaaged everyone but extreme left wing commies
In this letter he tried as hard as he could to demonize yet
another segment
they ARE running the country-—right into the ground!
Ask Nancy Pelosi. She’s an expert on ethics. /s
No its very clear it comes from the DNC......
Paid for by Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee — 430 South Capitol Street SE, Washington, D.C. 20003. This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. Monetary contributions to the Democratic National Committee are not tax-deductible.
But they are very blantant about how they use the money in a community organization manner.
No, I dont.
But it will cause a lot of hand-wringing.
If it’s illegal they’ll just change the law. No problem for the Dictatorship.
As a previous crooked pol said........
There is no controlling legal authority
Didn’t he leave off an L at the end of that acronym. Are there false representations in any of their e mails? That would be interesting.
You are right
but I think WE are starting to stand our ground and I also think there is a ton of voter remorse.
No matter how hard to media tries to make it seem otherwise We the people are not stupid.
The latest Gallup poll makes me believe.
We must never stop fighting this marxist POS and his commie cronies
Nah! That's what the Czars and Czarinas are for.
Is the VP supposed to solicit donations to a lobby group?
Yes, obama has lost no staem in mocking the GOP and conservatives, which is half or more of the American public
I do not ever remember a US president belittling half of his own American citizenry, and attacking a media network as an enemy, but then, I dont ever remember one openly incitng class envy and class warfare, seizing private property in the name of his government, and smiling at a racist “prayer” at his inauguration
