Anyone familiar with CAN Groups on MyBO?

[AZBlue]

CAN stands for Community Action Network and they are groups that have been started on my.barackobama.com (like any of the other many groups on that site). I believe it originated in CA and is now organizing in other states - any input, good, bad or indifferent?

Here's the link to the national CAN group: http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/USACAN

Thanks! :hi:

3. Let me re-state my OP:

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them or information about them? How did they originate? They are an EXTREMELY structured group (not that it's a bad thing) - where do they get their directives from? Are they a grassroots organization or something coming from above (the White House, the Obama campaign, etc)?

I've tried to find out more info on them, but all I can find is their info on MyBO.

Again, thank you to everyone for input! :D
