Organizing for Action contest rules show inconsistency of progressive principles

“Friend,” a Saturday email from Organizing for Action National Organizing Director Sara El-Amine began. “You're going to want to go to this party.”

OFA is the successor to Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign and Organizing for America, which itself “evolved” from the 2008 Obama for America campaign.

So why are they calling me “friend”? Probably for the same reason that old fraud John McCain does. They want money.

But why are they writing to me for it?

I keep myself on email lists, not just from the RNC and DNC, but from all kinds of groups I like to keep an eye on. You should, too, if you want to know what they’re up to.

“It's OFA's first birthday, and we're saving tickets for two lucky founding members and their guests,” my “friend” Sara gushes. “We'll fly you out and put you up in a hotel -- all on us. And then we celebrate!”

Not that I'm a "founding member," but what the heck. One of the spots could be mine, I am told, but I can’t win if I don’t enter. And how do I do that?

They have principles? Who knew?

Is OFA paid for by US??? Most likely.
