Very odd that the President who is elected to represent all Americans should resort to recruiting and using our youth to support his agenda. Once again scare tactics are being used to scare people into supporting Obama's goals. Organizing for America is using propaganda techniques to frighten people? As the coming fall elections arrive, there no doubt will be tv advertisement targeted at areas repeating similar propaganda. "As you've probably seen in the news, special interest attack groups are stirring up partisan mobs with lies about health reform, and it's getting ugly," a letter from Organizing for America states. "Across the country, members of Congress who support reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy, and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand." The group even offers to provide "information to drop off about how the health care crisis affects your state (with the option of adding your personal story)" and "a step-by-step guide" for pushing health "reform" at district offices." This is very much the same tactics that we saw used by the "Clean Air and Water" organizaton that went door to door during the 1970's and 1980's. Paid volunteers, young people were paid to go door to door in the Virginia suburbs of D.C. asking people to sign a petition before elections supporting 'clean water'. Later the person signing the petition would get a letter from the local candidate running for office targeting them for voting for their candidate-------and of course the letter came from the Democrat Candidate. The real question here is how much taxpayer money is this administration siphoning off to support this organization. What government grants are they getting. Do they pay taxes. What do their chief executives get paid? Are they a non-profit corporation that may not engage in political activity? Are they a PAC-----are they part of the Democrat Party Machine. Need some transparency here with Mr. Obama. This is sounding very Acornish.
