OFA Unleashes Twitter Health Care Attack On Members Of Congress


Here come the tweets.

In the latest frontier of new media mobilization for health care reform, Obama’s political operation is now calling on supporters to deluge members of Congress via … Twitter.

Organizing for America has just rolled out a new device that allows you to enter your address and get directed to your Representative’s Twitter feed.

“All signs point to it being incredibly close, possibly coming down to a small handful of representatives or even a single vote,” says OFA’s new device, which will be distributed to supporters today via social networking tools. “You’ve called. You’ve written. Now, you can `tweet’ your representative and ask them to vote in favor of reform.”

OFA unleashed a similar wave of Twitter atttacks on Senators earlier this year, but this one is coming on the eve of a crucial vote.

Hard to imagine that a hailstorm of tweets will do anything that some old-fashioned arm-twisting from Obama and Dem leaders couldn’t accomplish, but on the other hand, it can’t hurt to exert pressure through every conceivable channel. It can’t hurt to keep everyone energized by looking like you’re doing everything in your power, either.

2. I'm having this ethical battle with myself......

.... over whether it's wrong of me to LIE and say I live in a particular Congressman's district so he'll pay attention to what I say. lol

There's a Senator I follow who Tweeted last night that she as "scanning her messages for those who lived in her state."

Is that what you're asking me? My Rep is a Republican?

Not only is my Rep a Republican, he's a peckerwood fascist who makes Forrest Gump seem like a Rhodes scholar. lol

7. Yeah, that's what

I figured in my cryptic message.:)
