President Obama's appearance on "The Tonight Show" - the first ever for a sitting chief executive - was only a small part of the president's so-called permanent campaign. A bigger move comes Saturday, when Obama will ask 13 million people on his campaign e-mail list to go door-to-door to raise support for his agenda.
The Pledge Project Canvass is an unprecedented effort by a president to reach beyond Congress and tap grassroots supporters for help. Volunteers recruited online by Obama's Organizing for America, a post-election group, will ask citizens to sign a pledge in support of the president's policies on energy, health care and education.
Those who pledge will be asked for their e-mail addresses so the Obama-ites can keep in touch.
'This is just the beginning for us,' said Jeremy Bird, deputy national director of Organizing for America, in an online video to Obama supporters this week. 'The establishment in Washington won't welcome this new direction easily. We can't let this plan be debated solely behind closed doors in Washington, D.C.'"
from Redstate:And where are our friends in the left blogosphere on this? Surely, they did not approve of President Bush’s endorsement entry requirement from 2004. Do they now align themselves with the idea of a sitting administration asking citizens to pledge their loyalty to one man’s policies? Do they approve of jack-booted, clipboard-wielding, presidentially-authorized canvassers fanning out across the country collecting signatures and taking names? Markos? Josh? Arianna? Anybody?The linked article tries to compare President Obama’s efforts to those of other presidents to drum up support for their initiatives. Those efforts have all involved the president himself embarking on a publicity tour. Obama has done that, too. But no president has ever launched a signature pledge drive utilizing an army of volunteers tied to his official campaign organization outside of a reelection campaign.
"Creepy" doesn't describe this insidious notion accurately enough.However shrewd and revolutionary it may be from an organizing standpoint, the government is not, and ought not be a community organizing group. It’s creepy. Campaigning is what Obama does best, however. We are likely to see many more pledge drives like this one, and equally likely to hear absolutely nothing about it from the media and the left.
"Alarming" is the word that works better.
I'll be ready for these people when they come to my door. I suggest you be ready, too.
His two groups the Organizing for America (13 million emails) and Public Allies (one year paid training to become Obama's terrorists) are indeed a cause for worry. I am trying to keep a close watch on them and reporting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteFrom reports I read the response to his call for the house parties and going door to door campaign has not been a great as had been hoped. Of course they are now trying to back track and spin the spin. I believe probably many of those 13 million emails were from Independents who voted for him but are now pouring tea all over the country and carrying home made signs against his agenda. BB.
Both groups are George Soros funded. The Public Allies was formed (and is currently being paid for by Soros until the IIC can persuade Congress to pay for it) for the specific task of recruiting and training those who will be part of the National Service Program, the group that will be better paid than our military.
ReplyDeleteThere were a few out in the Dallas area from what I understand but they were met with less than welcoming hands. They were smart enough not to show at this residence where the Mossberg 500 was ready to great them with just the chambering or a round sound from behind a closed door before opening and asking how fast they could leave the property.
