The Obama camp is calling the president’s supporters into action behind his agenda for the first time since his inauguration. Organizing for America — the former campaign apparatus that is now a two-week-old arm of the Democratic National Committee — is sending an e-mail to anyone who was involved with an Obama house party during the campaign season, asking them to host similar gatherings next weekend to push for the president’s economic stimulus plan. That package, which passed the House this week without Republican support, is currently being considered by the Senate. OFA will be making an open call for...

Bit h/t to the Commenters at Just One Minute. We bloggers owe our best work to their diligence and tenacity. The following is a complilation of some what they found so far, of what just may be the key to getting to the bottom of a Democratic conspiracy in the Foley Setup. As I previously posted here, there apparently was a promise of a book deal to pages by a Robin Kasaros. Googling her name brought about useful information such as she hosted “House Parties” back in 2005. No, not where you sell Tupperware, but the kind that like to...

Early this morning on JOM we went through the cached page blog and noticed something interesting. The cached pages we examined indicate that the mother of one of the pages, Robin Katsoros, mother of Christopher Katsoros a former Pelosi page, told the pages she was working on a screen production of the lives of pages. And she gathered information from them. She is a Conyers and Kerry supporter and he is a student at Georgetown now. It looks like the kids were trying to “sex” up their experiences to get her interested. Here are some bits of it. JOM has...

This weekend, members of the MoveOn Political Action Committee will gather in more than 1,000 households across the country to develop neighborhood mobilization plans to stop President Bush from replacing Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor with a "far-right justice who threatens our rights." According to a press release from the organization, members attending the house parties will ask their friends and neighbors to urge their senators to "protect our rights from the radical right." They'll also form rapid response teams that will "spring into action if President Bush chooses an extremist justice," the release stated. Hosts will also show...

Tens of thousands of teachers, parents, students, and others who are close to the classroom or care about education participated yesterday in nearly 4,000 "house parties" nationwide in a non-partisan, grassroots effort to elevate the issue of public education in the current policy debate. Evidence of this unprecedented mobilization effort could be found in every state. From a chapel in Maui, Hawaii to a brewery in Cape Cod, Mass. to bilingual homes in Miami, Florida, and San Antonio, Texas, concerned citizens met to discuss the successes, challenges, and opportunities facing public education and how they can work together to create...

MANCHESTER — Republican faithful from around New Hampshire rallied at a total of 141 house parties in the state last night, just hours after President George W. Bush talked up tax relief and job training plans in Nashua. The GOP said more than 2,000 people attended the get-togethers, and the network of events was billed the first such event of its kind in the nation. They served as both a morale-booster and enthusiasm-generator among Republicans: both those who have been long-time volunteers, and those who said last night’s event was their first house party. “I thought it was a...

Alexandria, Virginia ONE DAY last month, Anne Gallagher, a septuagenarian retiree, drove her 1996 Mercury to the local Giant Foods supermarket. She parked her car just as Paul Mazzuca, a 46-year-old student, was parking his. What happened next, Gallagher said later, was kismet. Mazzuca noticed Gallagher's "Dean for America" bumper sticker and followed her into the store. Once inside, he asked her about the bumper sticker and mentioned that he, too, liked Dean. As they chatted between the dairy and the produce sections, they discovered they were both yellow-dog Democrats. Paul invited Anne to an upcoming party he was throwing...

More than 2500 MoveOn-sponsored "Bush-Bashing" House Parties are being held around the country. From their website: "On the evening of December 7th, 2003, thousands of people around the country will gather to watch and discuss the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War. Together, we'll strengthen the MoveOn community, get the truth out, and raise some money to make sure that people in key battleground states know the real story about how we went to war."

Today, we're not asking you to contact your Congressman or Senators to stop another liberal bill. We're not asking you to sign a petition to support a conservative cause. We're not even asking you to donate to a worthy conservative candidate for office. Nope... we're just asking you to throw a party. http://www.rightmarch.net Not a huge party, just a small gathering of your friends, family and acquaintances of your own choosing. No strangers will show up unannounced (unless your friends invite them!). What we're doing is countering an action that the far left group MoveOn.org is spearheading -- "house parties"...
