Obama Calls On His Internet Campaign Army to March Again
Obama calls on his Internet campaign army to march again
WASHINGTON
President-elect Barack Obama's 3 million campaign volunteers got re-enlistment notices this week.
Campaign manager David Plouffe, in a mass e-mail sent Wednesday to former workers, asked how much time they can spare for four missions integral to Obama's effort to transform his victory into a broader political movement.
The volunteers' options are, Plouffe wrote:
* Campaign for progressive state and local candidates
* Undertake grassroots local efforts to advance Obama's agenda
* Train others in Obama's organizing techniques
* Focus on local political issues.
"Obama's building a political machine," said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar at the Brookings Institution, a center-left Washington research group.
"These people have just opened up a new world for politics," added Hess, the author of "What Do We Do Now?: A Workbook for the President-Elect."
Pre-Internet presidents, he said, lacked the ability to communicate in real time with masses of their volunteers. In addition, the social networks such as MySpace and Facebook that link Obama's army together didn't exist.
The net effect was that pre-Obama political machines grew out of local politics and remained rooted there. Statewide or presidential candidates relied largely on local leaders' support.
Not so Obama, who, at least for now, has the allegiance of thousands of volunteers in most if not all congressional districts.
"Your hard work built this movement," Plouffe wrote them. "Now it's up to you to decide how we move forward."
His four-page questionnaire also asks respondents to name their top-priority issues out of 27 listed. The options included environment and global warming, civil rights and voting rights, war in Iraq, jobs and trade, or divisive politics and partisanship.
Plouffe also invited volunteers to identify their proudest campaign accomplishment and, separately, to name a fellow volunteer or field organizer who inspired them.
In the hallmark of a campaign that ran on small donations, volunteers are once again invited to make a financial contribution. This time it's to the Obama-Biden transition effort.
Wild Thing's comment..........
This calling a campaign a movement all comes from Obama and I see the word "movement" continues on. This scares the hell out of me, it is chilling.
Never have I heard a politician refer to his primary, campaign or his getting elected as a movement. Not in the United States of America anyway. Sure we have heard it used in third world counties but NOT HERE!
Obama is mobilizing his brain dead, America haters. He has plans that are huge for our country and not good ones. IMO Obama wants to keep these people revved up and hard at work for him for several reasons.
Here are some of the reasons I can think of:
1. the backlash he has received from his own campaign for picking Hillary Clinton. And his followers too, have been getting upset and reacting on their blogs about the other picks Obama has made as well, They feel he has gone more with the traditional democrats and Hillary was for some of them a big mistake. I have not been there but I got an email from someone that checks out DU ( democrat underground) and KOS and they have been getting restless and ticked off about these choices.
2. the Birth Certificate still unresolved and a slight chance it will not go well for him he needs to have his HO-bama army in place to fight back even in the streets if necessary.
These people are brainwashed, even if presented with facts they will not believe the truth.
One thing the left has all over those of us on the right is they never stop, they never quit or rest or take a break. Bush has been President for 8 years and not one day has gone by that democrats have not been slandering, attacking and putting him down. I watch the political talk shows on TV every night and weekends and this attacking of Bush and Republican is consistent and no let up.
Here is an example of just the other day.... On Fox News Watch they were talking about Obama and the democrat woman, I forget her name she said.. " well it will be nice to have a President that can read and write." SHEESH , that is what I mean!! There was no call for that at all. She USED the moment and seized it to slander Bush with a total LIE. And some brain dead idiot sitting at home nodded in agreement and then he/ she felt oh so smart on how they just knew Bush was stupid. ( when Bush is not stupid, he is not a conservative, but he sure as heck is not stupid).
Then we have the Republicans that come on these shows and they refer to the democrats as " My Friend", " he is a friend of mine but I disagree with Sen. so and so " or, " We have been friends for years but on this I have to disagree with Congressmen dip shit...". The weakness of those on our side is pathetic. This kissing up before disagreeing has got to stop for one thing. Grow a pair and fight back or just make an announcement that you have decided to hand over our country to the left while you stand by and watch. OR move out of the way and let those of us tell the left off, let us tell them what we think of them in no uncertain terms, we know the cost of what made our country great even if the Republican. leaders do not!!!!!!!!
And in to this between ACORN, Project Vote, Joe the Plumber investigations of critics, lies and slander galore about Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign finance fraud, voter intimidation, out-of-staters bussed in, vote finding in trunks of cars, and voter intention procedures, friendly Democratic judges, corrupt local officials, biased bureaucrats, flash mobs, a compliant MSM, the Fairness Doctrine, US attorneys, and the Attorney General how exactly could anyone win an election against this? These people do not play by the rules.
Now, on the positive side! LOL Yep you knew I would not just stop on a negative, no way. Not with the glass half full! This is the never give up side here at Theodore's World, it is how I feel. See writing a rant can and does take that Obama chill right off! Yes sir it does!
Instead of chilling it is challenging. Obama did not win by a landslide, nope. And the ones with the brains are on our side certainly NOT on his. At least if looking at the majority of those who voted for this POS.
And for everyone of Obama supporters that got the email about this, there is an opponent who is not going to join in. So there count of 3 million is not accurate. A lot of us signed up for both Hillary and Obama's websites just to be able to get their stupid emails during the campaign. LOL And you know what ??? They are still coming in from both Hillary and Obama.
Obama has a lot of people with their hand out. Remember the woman who believed Obama was going to pay her mortgage and said Obama was going to fill her gas tank? LMAO Hello......yabba, dabba ....do!
We have time and it will take time. What sickens me is how we have such weak Republicans in office. I used to think John Boehner was good, and he can be but it seems only every 500 years haha. sheesh. He is more of a rino then a conservative which imo means he is a waste of time.
Thinking in terms only of who I would want in our Foxhole and the life of America depends on it. Hand picked conservatives for sure, kind of like how the men were hand picked for " Dirty Dozen" only ours are not nuts. LOL
Mick Pence is awesome ...so far.... and there are a few others. Sad I have to use the word few but we have to be tuff as nails on who is worth an effort to cheer on. The GOP has become Dem lite so this fighting back when we begin will have to be done by we the people.
Rush Limbaugh said on his show, "that the strategy will take some time to develop, but he’ll begin naming names in the process, i.e. targets.".
I am not afraid of the terrorists, maybe that is weird but they just don't scare me they just tick me off. After all, legally we can shoot a terrorist, we can't shoot a democrat.
The Democrats are what scare me, they are destroying our country and doing it in a way that it might be impossible to fix. I pray that is not true, but it seems like it from what I have seen. So strategy when it happens will have to be well thought out and you know what? Love is a passion just like hate. And we all have LOVE for our country on our side. The democrats only have hate and ugliness. They feed on lies and we feed on truth. Lies are like Chinese food they have to keep coming up with their lies or the masses lose interest and they are hungry for more. Example are the stupid gossip papers at the grocery store.
This is war with the enemy within and it has to be won by conservatives and I believe it will be.

These braindead meathead zombies still need someone to take care of them! When things go bad out in the big bad world, they need the man in the white hat to rush in and save the day!
All they can see is more entitlements, more money, and power for their side, who cares what happens to anyone else who doesn't believe the Messiah.
And there won't be any "D'oh" situations until something happens that they don't like and then they still won't believe it. They don't want rights or freedoms. Their priorities are all screwed up. The New Deal has kept people on the public dole for generations, something it wasn't suppose to do. They were suppose to go out and get a job, but no, they sat on their butts and expected the job to come to them and then whined about it when someone else got the jobs and there wasn't anything left for them.
I wonder how long it will be before he starts separating us by color, religion, and race?

First, a word of thanks for a great patriotic website. I'm a Marine Corps Viet Nam helicopter crew chief. We seem to see eye to eye on politics.
With reference to the Obamafurer's scary youth "movement" one must remember the major differences between our condition and pre-war Germany is that we 1. have the wisdom of historical knowledge and 2. thanks to God and the Second Ammendment, we conservatives are the ones with all the guns in our homes. NOBODY, but NOBODY will usurp our nation as did Hitler. We hold and treasure our guns because we retain the right to step in and stop an abusive government.

Hey patriots, for Christmas I am getting my first ever Winchester shotgun, used but not pricey, to go along with my sidearm in Frau Vader's homestead. Home invasions in this blue state are on the rise, and before #44 gets sworn into office in 56 days, we'll be able to defend ourselves thanks to the 2nd Amendment!

Yeah there is a big sale on all ammo in Pa. limit two boxes per person per day. Why do you have a .45, because they don't make a .46 ...
Black Bear season starts today, it has been extended two days to try to thin them out a little bit, its good conservation. Hmmm perhaps it should be tried in the cities.

Mark, my father carried a BAR across France in 1944-45 and then carried an M1 up and down the Great Smoky Mountains hunting bears. He never did shoot one (a bear that is) but we ate a lot of bear meat.
Friday, my daughter made an offer on a house north of me in a nice neighborhood. At 9:30 that night I heard a 12 round magazine of 40's or 45's fired between my house and her house. That makes well over a thousand rounds I've heard in the last three years. But, I've got more than a thousand rounds so, BRING IT ON!

Where the hell do you live Horace, anywhere near the DMZ, Jeesh...1000 rounds better get the body armor out.
After re-reading that article we ,the conservatives, had better start looking for a leader and quick before too much damage is done. Because it looks like 56 days of freedom is left. This whole scenario is scary, the market is going nuts, everyday we are bailing some business 'Too big to fail' our great great grandchildren are going to be paying for this mess.

Lynn, I agree so much, yes their priorities are all screwed up. That is one of the reasons there is no way to get through to them on how they think.

Bill, thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Welcome Home Bill! That is wonderful that you were a helicopter crew chief in Vietnam and a Marine. Thank you for serving our country, it means a lot to me!!!!
You made some excellent points and your right. There is a big difference. Thank you.

Darth, that is wonderful, congratulations on your future Christmas present. A Winchester shotgun fantastic.

Mark, oh moy gawd LMAO I love this, I have to remember it.
"Why do you have a .45, because they don't make a .46 "

Mark, I live in Aurora, Colorado--ten miles east of downtown Denver. I sometimes call it the Northern Capitol of Mexico, or the capitol of Northern Mexico. Bunker down, amigo, Valdez is coming. Damn, I miss Burt Lancaster. I'll bet Chrissie knew him.

Horace,thank you so much for sharing about your Father, that is really interesting.
Oh my gosh Horace, a over a thousand rounds in 3 years.
Some friends of ours that live in the outskirts of Los Angeles, have told me even when they go grocery shopping now it is not safe where they live. Guns are not only fired off at night but in the daytime as well. It is the high population of illegals now where they are that has made it so dangerous.

Mark, heh heh......"Hmmm perhaps it should be tried in the cities"...works for me. At least it can't hurt to think about it.
I will never forget the time I got lost in when I lived in Calif. and was trying to come back home from late in the day modeling job. It was in the fall and got dark out early and I missed an on ramp to the freeway. Mark I was so terrified, the area I ended up in was Watts and I was too afraid to even get out of my car and ask for directions.
Than God I finally saw a police car and I pulled up next to it and asked him for help. He scolded me for getting lost and being in the dangerous part of town. LOL Like I could help it. hahaaha
But he was nice about it and then had me follow his car to the next onramp.

Horace, I love Colorado it is sad that so many places have changed. I still would love to live there one day in a cabin up in the mountains.
I never met Burt Lancaster, but Nick did he said he was one heck of a great guy, a for real person that was down to earth. Not a typical hollywood type with his ego too big.
