RSSObama’s Civilian Defense Force Is Now PAYING For Recruits
Carl Andrews | August 28, 2009
We have done numerous articles outlining the activities of Organizing For America, an offshoot of the Democratic National Committee, OFA is also known as Obama’s Army.
On the surface, Organizing For America seems like a benign enough group, but once you do a little research you can’t help but question their agenda.
As a continuance of the campaign group Organizing for Obama, OFA members have been touring the country seeking to enlist support for President Obama’s policies.
For months they have been standing outside of shopping malls and conducting door-to-door campaigns asking people to sign pledge cards in support of the President’s policies.
And when we first learned of this, it struck us as a bit odd that a sitting President was looking for signature cards showing support for his ideas.
Apparently, we aren’t the only ones who feel that way.
Norm Sterzenbach, executive director of the Iowa Democratic Party, had this to say:
“Iowa has almost nonstop Presidential activity. But the idea of a sitting President continuing an organization is fairly unusual.”
What else is fairly unusual is a statement made by one of the leaders of what is supposed to be a simple grassroots political group.
Back in March, at the start of a pledge drive in Alabama, a leader of the event, Chris DeHaven, told his followers not to try and convert anyone who did not agree with what they were hoping to accomplish.
His words to his troops were:
“We’re not looking for a fight.”
” That will come later, after we have an army.”
Will Organizing For America become Obama’s Civilian Defense Force?
Our friends over at World Net Daily just did an article exposing how college kids are being recruited to join Obama’s Army.
Not only are these students being offered college credit, The DNC is also running help wanted ads on such sites as Craigslist offering people between 9 to 16 dollars an hour to lobby for passage of Obama’s health care reform bill.
This is the same DNC that has called people at town hall health care protests an “organized mob.”
Nancy Pelosi has called people voicing their concerns about this bill “Astroturfers wearing Swastikas.”
However, Robert Gibbs, to cite just one example, have called protesters “Organized and manufactured rage”, yet makes no mention of DNC operatives and SEIU thugs being snuck into these events through the backdoor.
These activities, along with a host of others, lead to a myriad of questions and we would welcome any rational answers from any and all members of Obama’s Army.
When before in the history of this country has a sitting President’s political party actively sought supporters on such a grand scale. even going so far as to run help wanted ads and offering to pay people?
Can someone contact Chris DeHaven and ask him to explain to us just what are the details of the fight he says is coming?
Just what the hell gives him the right to threaten anyone who doesn’t agree with the aims of his group?
Are you going to have Obama’s Civilian Defense Force to back you up in this fight, or are you going to become Obama’s Civilian Defense Force?
What is the real purpose of all of this?
It’s all fine and well to obtain someone’s signature on a pledge card that says they support the President’s health care bill, but unless that person has actually read the bill, what have you honestly accomplished?
The election is over, Obama won, why in the hell do you have to offer to pay people to be supporters?
Is it simply a new way of doing things, as many of you claim, or is it part of a fundemental CHANGE that most American’s wouldn’t put up with if they knew your real agenda?
How do you explain the presence of Organizing For America members at town hall health care forums?
What’s wrong, you don’t think that having thugs from the SIEU assault people is intimidating enough?
Liberals to this day denounce the actions of Joe McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee.
How is the White House setting up an e-mail account for people to report anything “fishy” they hear about health care reform any different?
How do you explain press secretary Robert Gibbs tripping over his tongue when asked why people who had never submitted their e-mail address to the White House were receiving e-mails from Obama ally David Axelrod?
More McCarthyism?
Finally, let’s sum things up, and then we have one final question.
Many of the supporters of the President’s health care reform package will pass off the activities of Organizing For America as simply a way to counter some of the mis-information that conservatives are accused of spreading.
Let’s think about that one for a moment.
One the one hand, you have average citizens (not Nazis, sorry Ms. Pelosi) raising what to them are legitimate concerns regarding an overhaul of America’s health care system.
There are a few (very few) political pindits on network TV and talk radio asking questions and voicing their opinions on this topic.
All of these things are democracy in action, protected under the fundamental right of free speech.
On the other hand you have a President whose party holds the majority in both the House and the Senate, in fact the majority in the Senate is fillibuster-proof.
You have no major media outlets, print or electronic, asking probing questions about the President’s plan.
You have a database of over 13 million e-mail addresses of people who voiced their support for Barack Obama during his Presidential campaign.
You have millions of members in Organizing for America, and with the support of the Democratic National Committee, you are actively recruiting new members on a daily basis.
These supporters are running well-organized, nationwide campaigns to enlist support for the President’s agenda.
Yet with the odds weighted so heavily in the President’s favor, he is still facing stiff opposition.
So our final question is this:
If the President’s health care reform bill is the blessing for all American’s that he and his supporters claim that it is, couldn’t the paln simply stand on it’s own merits?
