Organizing for America

Dear Wake Dems:

I hope by now you know that big changes are taking place in the Wake County Democratic Party. Both Chairman Mack Paul and ED Tammy Brunner have resigned effective 12/31. This coming right after the 2011 elections puts us at a disadvantage in trying to build our party before the 2012 election season when we will be not so gently urged to drop everything and work for OFA.

The original headline of this post was: Video of Organizing for America we made!!

Is anyone else besides me bothered by all the Obama-centric stuff coming from the DNC?

The new logo is a big and dark blue "O" with a small pale "D" in the middle, and "Change that matters" right alongside it.

"Vote 2010" has the Obama For America logo in place of the "O" in Vote. There is a "Vote 2010" sticker in the shape of a big "O" with Obama looking like the "man in the moon"!

Obama's not even on the ballot in 2010. Many other Democrats are on the ballot, so why does this GOTV effort have to be so Obama-centric? Polls are showing that Democratic candidates are trying to distance themselves from Obama. So is this really the best time to roll out a new logo that makes it look like the Democratic Party is only a small part of Barack Obama?

Or is this just the DNC wanting to give work to the guy who invented the "O" logo?

"Was it all a Dream?" of course is the opening line of Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 911. I love that quote because it reminds me to put things in perspective.

Putting things in perspective as Election Day 2010 approaches is a good thing (lol).

Organizing For America is inviting us to revisit and reignite the temper of the times of Election Day 2008.

North Carolina was and is "in play" as a Red State that turned Blue in 2008.

And we have not forgotten and we are not going back.

OFA's Healthcare Reform Bus Tour is coming to Raleigh this Thursday, September 3rd. Let's take this opportunity to show how support and force for health care insurance reform. This is something you can do and we need you at this critical time in health care reform!

FINAL STOP RALEIGH!!!
