Hopey Changey's "Organizing For America"
Citizen soldiers etc. are being organized to keep Obama's message on focus. What this means to all of us remains to be seen.
Obama scrubbed his website regarding the "Citizens Defense Force" and now he has been officially named winner of the election and his inaugural hours away, his "Defense Force" is back; the flagship of Obama 2.0.
President-elect Barack Obama announced the formation of a new group known as "Organizing for America" that aims to continue the grassroots advocacy that the former Illinois Senator began in his presidential campaign."As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead," Obama said in a video message e-mailed to supporters (and reporters) this morning. "That's why I'm asking people like you who fought for change during the campaign to continue fighting for change in your communities."
The new group will be the flagship of "Obama 2.0" as many people have taken to calling the transformation of the political organization created during the 2008 campaign[...]
It's clear that Obama recognizes the power that his email list, which boasts more than 13 million names, represents in American politics and is working to ensure it stays within the control of a small group who are charged with protecting the Obama brand.
Let us welcome the brown shirts.
Word is William Ayers is thrilled....
