Another letter from one of His Holiest appointed lackeys…

Kevin —

Yes my Eminence?

Looking back at 2009, it turns out you were right.

I usually am.

Early this year, millions of you chose to keep working together and create Organizing for America, to build on the momentum of the Obama campaign, take on the defenders of the status quo, and make change happen.

Actually millions of people worked together to keep Obama from forcing on us what he calls change. Admittedly it would be a change but not all change is good. Sometimes the status quo is the status quo for a reason, namely it\’s the better of two evils. And as far as momentum goes, if aircraft have the type of momentum Obama has it usually leads to a NTSB investigation.

Special interests thought they could steamroll you with hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying and attack ads.

Actually special interests appear to have decided it\’s much easier working WITH the Obama administration since their interest are usually aligned, and they\’ve been hired on as staff in the Obama Administration itself. And yeah they do appear to be steamrolling the American public with the help of Obama and the rest of the Democrats.

Meanwhile, you built a massive organization, driven by local leadership, that reached out to millions of fellow Americans and made your voices heard to Congress in record numbers.

Actually the group you\’re talking about is the Tea Parties. Locally organized, numbering in the millions and making their voices heard in Congress in record numbers. That\’s why Reid and Pelosi are afraid to let Congress go home and hear from the people….last time they did our Congresscritters got smacked upside the head with public opinion. It\’s also why you\’ve had to bribe Senators to vote for this piece of shit….they know the public hates it.

In the coming year, our opponents will make a final stand to block health reform and seek to defeat many of the President\’s other crucial initiatives. And they\’re already targeting those in Congress who are championing change.

They are targeting those that are trying to force on the American public something they don\’t want. See I know you favor a communist system, so you may not be familiar with the form of government we use, called a Republic. The people are represented by elected officials who make the laws. Presumably those elected officials pass the laws the public wants. If they don\’t the public votes them out. That\’s what\’s happening here. Not sure why that\’s difficult for you to understand. Presumably they still teach civics in school yeah?

So I wanted to take a moment at year\’s end to reflect on everything you\’ve built, and to ask for your help one last time this year to hit the ground running in 2010. Please donate $5 to keep our organizing strong in all 50 states.

What you built hasn\’t amounted to squat. Trying to convince the American public that a shit sandwich tastes really good isn\’t exactly a recipe for success.

This has been a remarkable year for the movement you\’ve built from the ground up.

From the sounds of the bitching your \”grassroots\” have been doing about ObamaCare this doesn\’t sound like a ground-up sort of organization. Sounds like they are even more displeases with Obama than the Republicans are.

Beth Kimbriel, a mother of four from Richmond, Virginia, has no formal political experience. But every week, as an OFA \”Community Organizer,\” she trains and manages other volunteer leaders to organize effectively around the President\’s agenda.

Well then she DOES have formal political experience…is this another one of those supposedly inspirational stories you keep telling that turn out to not actually be true?

Hundreds of her fellow OFA Community Organizers around the country have already volunteered more than 200,000 hours doing similar work. Thousands more have taken on other leadership positions in every single state. And we\’re still growing — nearly a million people who had never volunteered for the presidential campaign have signed up with OFA this year.

You could say the same thing about the Tea Party activists….except those people weren\’t even political until you guys tried to cram down this shitty legislation. Even though it\’s been rejected before.

….

….actually you couldn\’t say the same about the Tea Party activists….they number well over a million.

Supporters spread the word throughout our communities, with more than a million conversations with neighbors on the phone and at the doorstep, and 250,000 letters to the editor about how President Obama\’s policies would help ordinary Americans.

Except that ordinary Americans see through the propaganda and the bullshit and don\’t want this ObamaCare crap. Poll after poll after poll shows a vast majority hate the bill. And a vast majority would prefer the status quo even. Independents have long since abandoned the cause. Even liberals are now peeling off.

And when Congress was making crucial decisions, you spoke out more powerfully than the special interests ever could.

Yeah, those TownHalls really were something weren\’t they?? They certainly made their voices heard over the special interests hired by the Obama Administration.

In the last few months, you\’ve made more than 1 million calls to Congress — including more than 300,000 on one amazing day in October that created huge momentum for health reform. Thousands of supporters attended town halls to counter the shouting mobs and speak out in person. And you even held 37,107 events in every congressional district — bus tour rallies, phonebanks and forums to inform your neighbors.

Those shouting mobs you refer to are also called the American public. And they hardly countered them. Every TownHall I\’ve seen seems to be overwhelmingly against this bill. Nobody wants this, why is that so hard to understand.?

These incredible efforts have powered victories on a wide range of issues. OFA volunteers provided a huge boost to help pass the Recovery Act, President Obama\’s historic budget, an expansion of children\’s health care, credit card and student loan reform.

Yeah, that Recovery Act has really done a bang up job huh?

Historic budget?? You realize they pass one every year right?? That\’s hardly historic….unless you\’re calling the huge amount of deficit spending historic in which case yes you are right.

Your voices helped pass a historic green jobs and energy bill in the House, and the confirmation of the nation\’s first Latina Supreme Court justice, Sonia Sotomayor, in the Senate.

Pass a historic green jobs and energy bill? Well it passed the House before people were paying attention and then promptly let their Senators know they hate this piece of shit bill and don\’t want it. So Senate leadership has already declared it dead. So yeah, you accomplished at best a token ceremonial gesture.

And of course, you were instrumental in passing comprehensive health reform through both houses of Congress for the first time in American history.

Actually what was instrumental is the bribes Harry Reid gave various Senators using our tax dollars. It never would have come even close without those bribes. So again at best you accomplished a token ceremonial gesture that was soundly overruled by the vast majority of the country that hates this bill.

With every phone call to a member of Congress, every door knocked on a rainy day, every event held in a town center, you\’ve helped to push this country forward.

Yes you helped push this country forward….right off a cliff.

But with the special interests and their allies in Congress fighting us for every inch, we need your help again to keep our organizing strong in 2010. Can you chip in $5?

If these pieces of legislation you\’re referring to were so damn great, why is it they take such vast sums of money to push for??

Thanks for making it all possible,

Director
Organizing for America

No problem Larry.
