In an unusual e-mail appeal, President Barack Obama is asking millions of his campaign supporters to commit to attending at least one community event on health care this month.
Obama writes that opponents of his health care plan are “filling the airwaves and the Internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change.”
“And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous,” he warns. “So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth and set the record straight."
The e-mail shows up as being from “President Barack Obama,” with the subject line: “This is the moment.”
“Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most,” Obama says. “And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves."
The drive is run by Organizing for America, the new name for the Obama grass-roots organization, now a project of the Democratic National Committee.
The e-mail clicks through to a commitment form, with the notice: “Once you commit to attending an event, we'll be in touch to let you know about upcoming events near you.” - Politico Story
How Ironic, they are complaining because people are angry about the health care reform and letting their Reps hear about it. The say it is a GOP effort. I haven't heard nor has there been any proof that it is.
Yet here they are doing the exact same thing. They are pushing their supporters to show up so that they can continue to push their lies about the Crisis that isn't.
