Organizing for America (OFA), the DNC-ruled "grassroots" organization formed from the massive Obama '08 email list, is asking people in NJ-2 & NJ-7 to drop what they're doing and call Frank LoBiondo and Leonard Lance and ask them to vote Yes on the public option. The debate has been going on all day on the floor of the House. Watch LIVE. Obama voters in 31 other districts got the same...
Harnessing the power of Internet was a coup for the Obama campaign last year, and now the White House and Democrats in Congress are attempting to drum up support for the House health care bill in a similar manner. Except that all the tech-savviness in the world can't find votes where there are none. In a mass e-mail that went out to supporters this morning, Organizing for America (the Democratic National...
A well-heeled Democratic fund-raiser is calling on donors to stop the "gay ATM" to politicians who don't fully support equality for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. Once named the most powerful gay man in America by Newsweek, David Mixner is angered by the hands-off approach of President Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee concerning a failed ballot measure...
DNC Treasurer Andy Tobias joined in the comments section last night of John's latest post about the DNC's, and White House's, growing gay problem. And he wasn't very happy. He actually blamed John for the increasingly strained relationship between the gay community and the Democratic party. I've written a lengthy post about this on the AMERICAblog Gay .
John Fund of the WSJ has a few choice quotes of Speaker of the House Pelosi's Dem minions who believe that advanced dementia has set in on her 1990-page dog's breakfast of lunacy. Of course, the AARP cadres and a rump-parliament of AMA also says they support it, but this is simply another indication that swine-flu encephalitis is rotting the DNC from the top down. And unlike libtard fabulation artists...
From: DNC Rapid Response [mailto:DNCRapidResponse@dnc.org] Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 12:18 PM To: DNC Rapid Response Subject: Reaction to Bachmann Rally Please see below for a statement from DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan in reaction to the Michele Bachmann led anti-health insurance reform rally in Washington today: "If the Republican party wants to make Michele Bachmann the...
Here's today's statement from Michele Bachmann's campaign operation : Dear Patriot, As I write this note, thousands of everyday Americans have come to Washington to speak their mind about the misguided health care bill that Speaker Pelosi and President Obama are pushing through Congress. What an awe-inspiring sight! These people came by plane, by train, by car and by bus. They drove overnight and they...
John Aravosis has the story . Here's a leaked e-mail from Andy Tobias, DNC Treasurer, to donors: 1. An email went out asking activists to make calls to New Jersey. It was insensitive not to omit Mainers from that email. I apologize that no one thought to do that. I can't imagine it could have cost No On One even a dozen votes, but I still wish someone would have thought of this in time to catch it....
The DNC and the White House are already in hot water with the gay community for a growing list of slights and grievances. But outright lying to the community about what the Democratic party did, or didn't do, to help gay and lesbian Americans and Democrats defend their civil rights this past election day in Maine - that crosses a line. A big one. Read my exposé on AMERICAblog gay .
From Thousands Join Bachmann Rally Against Health Care Bill ": Rep. Michele Bachmann says her "Super Bowl of Freedom" at the U.S. Capitol today can torpedo Democratic health care overhaul plans by enlisting "the voices of freedom." At noon eastern time today, the lawn near the Capitol's West Front was crowded with thousands of protesters who chanted "kill the bill."...
Some smart observations from Larry Sabato: Democratic National Committee Chairman and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine is also high up on the list of losers. He presided over an electoral debacle in his own state. Unlike his predecessor, Gov. Mark Warner,...
So much crazy going out in the world today but in the interest of waiting for the news to age enough to be accurate, this was my LOL of the day . In response to the RNC's twelve hour online town hall to "explain the democratic health care bill," DNC Press Secretary Hari Sevugan issued the following statement: "We're planning a twelve second town hall to explain every last detail of the...
This response to the thousands of people protesting Obamacare at the Capitol is funny - perhaps the Democrat National Committee spokesman missed Tuesday's elections : "If the Republican Party wants to make Michele Bachmann the voice of the party, that's more than fine with us," Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan said in a statement. "It's their extreme right-wing, rigid...
The Democratic National Committee is gleefully capitalizing on the fate suffered by Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava at the hands of the GOP's right wing - a phenomenon that appears is be rapidly repeating itself as the 2010 mid-terms take shape. An e-mail sent to reporters this afternoon bore the subject line: "Another Republican Rep. Gets Scozzafava'ed." Included was a link to a St. Petersburg...
