Obama Announces "Organizing for America"




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.

The new group will work within the Democratic National Committee -- led by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine -- to advance the Obama agenda. "President-elect Obama has laid the foundation to meet the great challenges facing our nation, but we can succeed only if we build grassroots support for the administration's agenda," said Kaine in a release announcing the formation of Organizing for America.

The new group had been long expected within Obama's inner circle and, although no details on how it would be staffed were released by the transition office today, it is expected that longtime Obama loyalists will be placed in charge -- following the blueprint set out at the DNC.

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.

Look at who is organizing

I seem to remember last fall the Oz said something about the “New Deal II”… did anyone listen… yes America we are going to work together, yes America “YOU” are going to work together every day of your life at $7-$8 an hour (7) days a week now in order to “Jump Start” the US Economy and pay down the “US” National Debt now running a full speed ahead (Damn the Icebergs)at around 13.9 Trillion Dollars and counting faster than a speeding bulluit and able to leap frog Tall Insolvent Banking and Corporate Greed Buildings on Wall Street and yes America all 66.6% of the Lower & Middle Class US Tax Payers will pay through the nose over the next 6-8 years if your lucky and work hard enough… “YOU” might live through this! I will lead the way! Sound familure?

Obama’s message is very good to hear - our country needs this.
I and friends were ready to volunteer for our country after 911, but were turned away by local government not ready to accept volunteers. Instead, we were told to go shop.
Obama is right - it’s time to come together as Americans and clean up the shambles of a country that Bush has left us.
No more friendly fire, with Americans infighting among one another.
It’s time to roll up our sleeves and help you, me, oursleves, and all Americans.
