Obama plans huge pledge drive for his policies (emails & door-to-door)

[Ooh-Ah]

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."

“He desperately wants to hide responsibility for his actions behind popularism.”

It’s either this or he wants to make a list of those who shouldn’t be shipped off secret prisons in ANWAR.

He has scholars debating right now about whether belief in free markets is a mental illness. Of course the next step is to round us all up and ship us off to re-education camps. It’s helpful to know who supports him so they can be left behind and he can win the next election with 100% of the vote.

"I’d ask them to join me in prayer for the conversion of Obama to Catholicism. That would scare them off!"

As Holy Water to a vampire.

Amen, and may God Bless you for both your sense of humor and defiance to communism!

You don’t have to sign up, but you can see where ‘they’ are.

You think I could greet them by citing my 2nd amendment rights and offer to use it if they do not depart quickly?

I wonder how many fights will break out today as the crypto-muslims goons wreak havoc across the nation.

He also wants to drown out the tea parties ... isolate them and spin them as a fringe movement compared to his 3500 house parties.

I heard very scant attendance at his last round of house parties.

The nearest place is 30 miles away. The next one is 50.
I think I'm safe.

When they come to your door, record them (digitally or tape). If they behave thuggishly, then post the recording on the Internet. If they behave thuggishly as a coordinated, group effort, soon there will be hundreds of recordings floating aroung the internet. A firestorm (blogstorm) will ensue. That will be the end for them.

This is no longer the 1930's. Things have changed, and these tactics can be easily turned back against the new brownshirts.

“...and for a president to stand there and act like some campaign device for four years straight....why even be president...just be candidate in running and be happy about this.”

I think we forget that the Lord punishes the unrepentant greedy and power-hungry with their corrupt desires...i.e. they CANNOT stop—”There is no rest, says my God, for the wicked”.

Better not show up on my door....

[livius]

Mussolini and Hitler never stopped campaigning either. To make their nations submit , their leaders had to keep the emotions of the people running high.

Very good point.

[GnL]

Come on. Come to my door just once, you smelly, emo brownshirts. I’ll even give you a cup of strong coffee.

[seemoAR]

Darn, the closest one to me is about 70 miles away. There are just 2 less than 100 miles away.

“Sorry, we could not find any events in your area.”

Hahahahahaha...No more obama signs anywhere..not even bumper stickers.

[lacrew]

One person signed up in Topeka and three in Lawrence, KS (the most liberal place in Kansas). I could sign up :)

I am prepared with the Pledge of Allegiance.

All printed out on fine grade paper highlighting the words, And to the Republic for which it Stands. A set of lines underneath for their signatures.

If they are truly citizens of the Republic they shouldn't have an issue with Pledging their Allegiance. No?

[EBH]

16 pledge drives in my area!!! Wholly smokes!!

I need to print more Pledge of Allegiance signature forms!

[Uncle Meat]

Let me get this straight,they’re going to send someone to your door with a thick ebonic accent that you can barely understand or some greasy white kid with huge earlpugs,nosering and dreadlocks who doesn’t have a clue about the damage being done to our country in the hands of Obama and his lunatic Dem party and we’re suppose to sign a pledge of allegiance to them?Crack must be the main drug of choice of these people now a days.What else could it be?
