re: #476 albusteve

then the document is fake?…seems like that alone would be a big story…sounds legit to me otherwise

This document may be a fake, but the “program” is not… here is a detailed insight to the massive grass roots projects that Organizing for America is venturing forward with…

“I thought about Patrick’s story from high school when I met Jacob Manser, a 16 year-old who is serving as the canvass coordinator for his neighborhood team in the heart of Columbus. The team’s FO, Steph Lake, took me by the beginning of an afternoon phone bank that the team was coordinating. All the team members were playing their different roles: The team’s volunteer coordinator, a semi-retired software developer named Robert Hughes had prepared the call lists in conjunction with the team’s phone bank coordinator, Leslie Krivo-Kaufman, another high school student. Team leader Janeen Sands oversaw the whole event. And another volunteer, who was not even a team coordinator (yet) had donated her house for the event. Jacob helped out that day by collecting the data from the event. The team was still looking for a data coordinator and other members were sharing that role. Later that night, Steph and I stopped by his house to get the tallies (though volunteers organized by the team would do the actual data entry). They made the exchange in the street in front of Jacob’s house, talking softly so as not to disturb any neighbors. It was about 10:00 PM—on a school night!”

There is a lot of activity going on.
