I did an internship as a community organizer - it wasn't about getting votes for somebody. It was about issues and getting people involved.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Community organizing is a process by which people are brought together to act in common self-interest. While organizing describes any activity involving people interacting with one another in a formal manner, much community organizing is in the pursuit of a common agenda. Many groups seek populist goals and the ideal of participatory democracy. Community organizers create social movements by building a base of concerned people, mobilizing these community members to act, and developing leadership from and relationships among the people involved.

Organized community groups seek accountability from elected officials, corporations and institutions as well as increased direct representation within decision-making bodies and social reform. Where negotiations fail, these organizations seek to inform others outside of the organization of the issues being addressed and expose or pressure the decision-makers through a variety of means, including picketing, boycotting, sit-ins, petitioning, and electoral politics.

Community organizing is usually focused on more than just resolving specific issues. Organizing is empowering all community members, often with the end goal of distributing power equally throughout the community.

Community organizers generally seek to build groups that are democratic in governance, open and accessible to community members, and concerned with the general health of the community rather than a specific interest group.

There are three basic types of community organizing, grassroots organizing, faith-based and community organizing, and coalition building. Additionally, political campaigns often claim that their door-to-door operations are in fact an effort to organize the community, often these operations are focused exclusively on voter identification and turn out.

The ideal of grassroots organizing is to build community groups from scratch, develop new leadership where none existed, and otherwise organize the unorganized. It is a values based process where people are brought together to act in the interest of their communities and the common good. It is a strategy that revitalizes communities and allows the individuals to participate and incite social change. It empowers the people directly involved and impacted by the issues being addressed. A network of community organizations that employ this method is National Peoples Action.

6. Sounds kinda good don't it. Obama supporters know the realobama.

7. Sounds like what I want in a President. For a grassrooter, this is exactly

what I want in fact. shit.

Ooh. Look what I found!

First Lady of the United States
First Lady of the United States is the unofficial title of the hostess of the White House. Because this position is traditionally filled by the wife of the President of the United States, the title is sometimes taken to apply only to the wife of a sitting President.

While a female President could theoretically serve as her own official hostess, it is not known what title would be applied to a President's husband, who might also serve as the host of the White House.

Role of the First Lady
"First Lady" is not an elected position, carries no official duties, and receives no salary. Nonetheless, she attends many official ceremonies and functions of state either along with, or in place of, the President. There is a strong tradition against the First Lady holding outside employment while occupying the office <3>. The first lady frequently participates in humanitarian and charitable work; over the course of the 20th century it became increasingly common for first ladies to select specific causes to promote, usually ones that are not politically divisive. It is common for the first lady to hire a staff to support these activities. Additionally, many have taken an active role in campaigning for the President with whom they are associated. Hillary Rodham Clinton took the role one step further when she was, for a time, given a formal job in the Clinton administration to develop reforms to the health care system.

9. And the circle jerk has commenced.

You didn't WANT to hear from HRC supporters, you wanted a pat on the back. Mission accomplished.

[CreekDog]

8. Not sure, but it seems to be good training to run for president

considering he has practically beaten the former First Lady.

[jlake]

10. With the help of the MSM who relish defeating Hillary.... and know that Barack will be easily

handled in October.

[CreekDog]

11. by your logic Hillary could not overcome the MSM in the general election either

:eyes:

[jlake]

14. No doubt she would face a 24/7 shitstorm..... just as Obama would...

but she sees it coming and is more prepared.
Obama seems to think that Hillary is harder than the GE will be.

[CreekDog]

15. she can't even beat Obama

:eyes:

[jlake]

16. That's with the media shilling for him and against her.....

think about the treatment Gore & Kerry got compared to Bush.

Right now Obama is getting the Bush treatment and Hilly is getting the Gore & Kerry treatment.
In the GE Obama will get the Gore, Kerry, Hill treatment and McCain will get the Bush treatment..... it's really not that hard to follow.

[IndependentDem]

12. not to push anything on you...
