re: #223 Occasional Reader

I have to say… that “lede” seems pretty hyperbolic, when you link back to the original source. Obama calling on his supporters to lobby their congressional reps to support his agenda… um, that’s pretty standard stuff, hardly “civic unrest”.

“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.”

By knocking on neighbors’ doors and making phone calls they will identify those that support their likemindedness and those that DON’T!

My head is not in the sand.
