Obama Grassroots Network Meets Over Stimulus.
"Thousands of groups of ardent fans of President Barack Obama met across the country during the weekend in hopes of converting the grassroots energy that fueled his election campaign into a durable movement.

The meetings were the first test of Organizing for America, a body that wants the army of 13 million people who signed up for Obama's record-shattered shattering campaign to be harnessed to his presidential agenda.

But even supporters say they fear it could be difficult to sustain the campaign's momentum.

A survey of nearly a dozen meetings out of thousands that occurred from Alaska to Florida showed mixed results."
