REAL Astro-Turf…
Organizing for America, Obama’s presidential campaign morphed into his arm of the Democratic National Committee, is blasting out emails leading voters to think they have actual scheduled appointments with their Congress critters.
But Democratic critters are being caught in the snare too, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein has whacked the White House for the chaos which has understandably ensued.
Add to this some language from a memo to the entire House Democratic caucus: “The Leadership is working in close coordination with the White House and outside groups (including but not limited to HCAN, Families USA, AFSCME, SEIU, AARP, etc.) to ensure complementary efforts during August a list of groups supporting health reform has been provided to your offices with information on ways you can partner with them in your districts.”
As Weekly Standard’s Gary Andres says, this “sounds more like a lobbying arms race than a measured sales pitch.”
