If you don't like how Obama is campaigning, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 12:02 PM by nomad1776

Donate to a group like MoveOn.org that will work to get Obama elected, but take a whole different approach. Whining about what you see as the problem, isn't very helpful. This election is too important, not to give it our all.

1. I thought Obama told the 527s not to get involved

Correct me if I'm wrong

2. Doesn't matter MoveOn.org is independent and will do what it thinks is best

There have certainly been no shortage of 527s on the republican side.

they are now having a voter registration drive in critical swing states

4. As if they'd listen?

They might if he retakes the lead...or if they agreed with his approach.

Otherwise...they'll do what they feel is best...they don't take marching orders from the Obama campaign and if they did, they'd quickly lose a good deal of their funding from people who give them $ precisely because they're independent.
