How Obama Uses the Internet to Create Change

I am not a supporter of Obama he just shagged my e-mail address and I keep getting the darn things.
I just received this one and it is interesting. Why?

Ever wonder why his people are right on top of the news he puts out? Ever wonder how his people seem to be calling and e-mailing there Congress people to try to force an issue Obama is in support of? Read this e-mail it is representative of the way his propaganda is distributed. They do not have to even watch a new broadcast just boot up there computer and check there e-mail to have Obama spoon feed to them.

As I get them I am thinking of posting them here. Why you might ask. Simple. Knowledge of what the opposition is doing is priceless. You can actually spot where the Obama people see there next problem coming from as they try to head it off at the pass so to say.

Today and yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama announced key members of an economic team tasked with creating jobs, stabilizing the economy, and getting our country back on track.

Barack is bringing together some of the best minds in the country to make swift progress on the economic challenges we face.

Timothy F. Geithner, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will serve as Secretary of the Treasury. Lawrence H. Summers, former Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton, will serve as Director of the National Economic Council.

Christina D. Romer will serve as Director of the Council of Economic Advisers, Melody C. Barnes will serve as Director of the Domestic Policy Council, and Heather A. Higginbottom will serve as Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Peter Orszag, currently Director of the Congressional Budget Office, will serve as Office of Management and Budget Director, and Rob Nabors will serve as Deputy Director.

Watch the video of Barack's announcement yesterday and learn more about the economic team:




Barack's economic team has already begun work on a recovery plan, and he'll provide progress updates in the coming weeks. He'll also provide their initial recommendations to the incoming Congress.

You'll be instrumental in generating support to pass legislation that puts America on the road to recovery.

While we can't underestimate the challenge we face, we also can't underestimate the opportunity we have to bring the change our country needs.

Thanks,

David

They also have a nifty little button that you can use to load the contacts from your address book and a nifty little letter all written out by them with you e-mail address and name right there you just have to push a button and bam you have not only spread the propaganda but have added every one you listed the e-mail to be sent to or your whole address book if you imported it to his data base.

2. The second choice is to visit Change.Gov I just went there and really need to check it out. Why? Obama telegraphs his moves. This is his way of giving you a preview of what he might do and also is a cunning way of taking his own snap poll so to say of what will float and what will not.
You can also see the talking points that his supporters will be parroting on blogs and new sites that they make comments on.

3. The ever popular choice on any e-mail or Obama site is the PLEASE DONATE.

Usually I do not check this out but today what the heck. Interesting he needs money for the Obama-Biden Transition Project. There is a nice little set up for your credit card info and the amount you wish to donate.
I wonder if the software that confirms you are actually the holder of that credit card is there and if allot of prepaid credit cards are being used for this as they were during the campaign. Perhaps an interest journalist will see this post and investigate as they did on Obama's campaign sight.

Here is explanation from the site as to why the funds are in such great need.

From web site

Help our transition team
In just a few weeks, the Obama administration will bring change to Washington. But there is little time to assess the state of the federal agencies, prepare our agenda, and staff key positions in the new administration.

Your support right now will be crucial to helping us accomplish these goals.

The Obama-Biden Transition Project is the official nonpartisan, nonprofit entity responsible for carrying out the transition to a new administration. Half of its funding comes directly from the federal government. Traditionally, the other half has been provided by Washington lobbyists and PACs.

But we're doing things differently.

For the first time, we're building the White House team from the ground up -- the same way you built the Obama campaign.

Will you make a donation today to support the urgent mission of our transition team?

Once again I stress that I am not an Obama Supporter I am just the opposite. We can learn allot from the physiology Obama employes and the set up of his internet machine by studying the e-mails.
What we learn from them can call us to action, show us effective ways of using the internet to counteract his propaganda and forewarn us of pending moves he and his team will be making so we can move to counteract them with calls to action.
Before you complain about me posting this please think on that.

As always your thoughts on this are always welcome.
