ObamaCamp! Organizing for America Will Deploy Young Cadres on ‘Summer Organizing Fellowships’


As Winter turns to Spring, President Barack Obama’s campaign organization is setting its sights on the Summer to recruit and train an army of new community organizers, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Presumably, Organizing for America’s efforts to “strengthen our democracy” will likely also coincide with Obama’s re-election plans in 2012. However, the latest recruitment message from OFA goes beyond politics and campaigning to emphasize plans for a new military-style boot camp for grassroots organizers, a “program that aims to put boots on the ground and help foster a new generation of leaders — not just to help win elections but to strengthen our democracy in communities across the country.”

If you apply and are selected, you’ll be trained in the basic organizing principles that have helped to build and power this movement, and you‘ll be assigned to a specific community where you’ll get to work organizing supporters.

Movements are built and sustained by ordinary people taking responsibility for organizing their fellow citizens to make their voices heard. We‘re looking for individuals who are prepared to work to help support the President’s agenda — and lay the groundwork that will help us win a new set of elections.
OFA’s “Summer Organizing Fellowship” also offers college credit in exchange for participation in the two-month volunteer program.

I wonder what college credits this would make you eligible for, maybe advanced basket weaving?

People simply do not listen to Obama.

We should all sign up, learn their way of doing things, then use that information to work for the republican candidates
(or in Larry's case, the non-affiliated candidate of his choice)

A long time ago we sent one our best conservative agents into the lib camp, Nonno's brain hasn't unscrambled yet. Pity him, but do not scorn him, he is damaged.
