Obama- "...I want you to argue with them and get in their face,..."

[masuki bance]

Don't forget this advice from last year, we need to show up to these meetings.

"...I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

Obama asks supporters to commit to attending town halls, and other local events
@ 1:26 pm by Michael O'Brien


President Obama asked supporters to commit to attending at least one community event during August to voice support for healthcare.

The president's political arm, Organizing for America, emailed supporters to ask them to turn out to support lawmakers at public events after a rash of boisterous uprisings at town halls have made national headlines.

"Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you," Obama wrote in an OFA email.

"Home is where we're strongest," the president said. "That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act."

The email asks supporters to join at least one event in their community during August.

The email marks an extensive organizing effort put together by Democrats in Washington to combat healthcare reform opponents during the August recess, especially after the very public uprisings at district events in recent days.

Wanna have some fun, maybe we all need to call and explain that we would not want to stay at a hotel where extremists are known to gather and be sponsored by them as well. Hit'em where it hurts GOPers the most, in there wallets. Thats the only language they know. If anyone emails the parent company include the link to the site that prominently displays there corporate logo as a sponsor.

3. I can't be around Republicans - every time I'm near one...

I automatically want to slap the shit of it.

5. You need to learn how to beat them down verbally.

I look forward to a good argument because each one makes me stronger.

15. It's impossible to debate someone who makes up their own 'facts'

Now they make up their own facts AND scream you down so you can't respond to thier faux facts. It doesn't get more anti-American/anti-democracy than that.

6. Can you come visit me for a week or two?

Red hell is the location ;)

10. slap the shit of it

lol, their asses are not even human and I guess it would be appropriate to refer to them as IT.

8. Do it online like I do, I spend gobs of freetime refuting smears & attacking Republicans by mocking

them on a newspaper's web site that allows comments and recommends.

I am not the only good progressive typing away daily. There are quite a few of us and you can tell we get under the dittoheads sking with our factiness and knowledge of current and previous administration events.

All they have are very poor written communication skills.

And truthiness that is easy to refute with The Googles on the internets.

11. Sure. Just get behind a bill I believe in

And Ill carry your water all day

12. A govt. enforced insurance scam isn't very inspiring.

It's what Obama and his corporatist colleagues want so let them go get in people's faces over it. :boring:

[bahrbearian]

14. maybe he could show us how its done.

[dgibby]

16. Sure,

just as soon as Obama stops siding with the Blue Cross Dogs against the democratic wing of the Democratic Party. Noooo problem.
