re: #63 newsjunkie_ky

Hi newsjunkie! Interesting link. There does seem to be a little disconnect between the Conservative Edge’s take and the Breitbart article they linked to.

Breitbart’s article talks about:

“The pledge project is an ambitious effort to map out and identify support for President Obama’s economic blueprint across towns and communities in America,” Stewart said.

“We’re doing that by asking people to pledge your support for the broad initiatives outlined in President Obama’s economic plan.

“Once you do, we will ask you to build support in your own communities by forwarding this pledge by email, by knocking on doors and by making phone call,” he said.

“We will show in every state, in every congressional district the hunger, for leadership and long range thinking that’s in too short supply here in Washington.”

They don’t seem to be calling for “civic unrest” against the government. More of a call to support Obama’s policies and contact their friends and neighbors asking them to do the same.

I grant ya that this could lead to protests, etc. however. But at this point, it doesn’t seem like pushing a “panic button” as much as standard political maneuvering.
