OFA is source of astroturfed letters

Organizing For America (barackobama.com) ^

http://my.barackobama.com/page/speakout has various calls for writing letters on several topics. Many letters on this site appear verbatim in various publications. Examples:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/speakout/YouthLTE?js=false&zip=12345

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22In+most+states%2C+companies+are+permitted+to+charge+a+22-year-old+woman+1.5+times+the+premium+of+a+22-year-old+man.%22&filter=0
The google result gives several links with sentences in them that are identical to the astroturf website of Teleprompter Jesus. e.g.: "In most states, companies are permitted to charge a 22-year-old woman 1.5 times the premium of a 22-year-old man."

Here the letters are verbatim as on OFA website.

You can repeat the search for other topics and you will find a number of newspapers with the same result. Some of the blogs on Dim websites to repeat the language.

Sorry, there is no proper headline and no article, just a direct reference to zero's website. Considering the importance of the issue, I started a separate thread. I hope it is okay.

For the acronym impaired, what is OFA?

Obama/Organizing for America

[iowamark]

“Organizing for America” is the Obama campaign.

You guys getting this?

"Organizing for America” is the never ending Obama campaign.

More better.

You might want to pass this info on to the the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s reporter Sabrina Eaton.

There are ways to spam this site creatively, no?

[frankenMonkey]

I just used their website and sent a "modified" version of the letter to my local newspaper. Made sure that the reader will know that it's a fake letter generated by Obama's website. Oh, and I signed it "Reverend Wright" - was that a bad thing?

;-)

[Cboldt]

I don’t see the Ellie Light astrotruf there. Not saying it isn’t there, but I haven’t found a letter that has that “magic wand” language in it.

[Bhoy]

So funny! That means nobody is reading that website since newspaper staffs did not recognize the letters.

What if you have a prez & nobody pays any attention to him.

[Shqipo]

So the origin: www.barackobama.com. This should be a red siren type of thing on Drudge.

[Rebelbase]

OMG. If you google the first sentence of each suggested LTTE topic on the website there are pages of returns of the same letter in different newspapers/media sources around the country.
