Grassroots Campaign Continues

This is smart politics. It worked to get him elected, now it will work to counter the right wing spin which covers their doing nothing themself. This is democracy in action at the people's level.

EVANSTON, Ill., March 21 -- As she headed into the morning sunshine to talk up President Obama's $3.6 trillion budget proposal, Althea Thomas counted herself a citizen and a partisan picking up where she left off Nov. 4, backing the president she helped elect.

"It's the change we all voted on," said Thomas, one of about 40 volunteers who fanned out from the Democratic Party headquarters here with clipboards, pledge cards and a sense of mission that flowed from their support of Obama when he was a candidate.

The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee opened a new chapter Saturday in their ambitious project to convert the energy from last year's campaign into a force for legislative reform on health care, climate change, education and taxes.

More than 1,200 groups from Maine to Hawaii spent the day gathering signatures in support of Obama's economic plan, the first step in building what the White House hopes will be a standing political army ready to do battle.

Seeking to create a grass-roots force on a scale never seen before, Obama called the volunteers into action in a video message reminiscent of the 2008 contest. In defense of his budget, under attack from many quarters, he asked his supporters to go "block by block and door by door."

Are they gathering at food banks, unemployment lines or the food stamp office?

My SIL bumped into one outside her local grocery store. They wanted her to sign a pledge to Obama. Fuck that shit...
 
You guys REALLY dont want the America people to feel good about the country do you?

We'd love to, with lower unemployment, less taxes, and less debt. Obama's agenda might, and I do say might because there is little guarantee, lower unemployment. But it will end up raising taxes dramatically and increasing debt dramatically. In the long run, that will lead to higher unemployment. In the end, it's all bad.

Feeling good and having good results to government policies are two completely different things.
