OFA Truth Team - I Joined

Here is an email I received from the OFA. I have been to meetings and with this I will get updates on how to make arguments for the progressive agenda with sources to back up what they claim. I will post them here as I get them for your entertainment. The conservatives have nothing like this and if we don't keep up the fight we are all so screwed. Enjoy.

Friend --

I bet you're a lot like me.

You spend a lot of time reasoning with your cranky uncle at the holiday table or your friendly neighbor in the grocery line about something the President has done to make us proud, only to find that they are stuck on some claim you know is false.

You care about what we've accomplished together because you know it's good for the country. And it frustrates you to no end that there are people out there spending millions of dollars to lie about it, because they think it helps their politics.

Just look at what some are saying about Obamacare. Here's a reform that improves the health of both American families and American businesses. But some want to move us backwards -- at any cost. Good grief.

That's why OFA is launching its Truth Team -- a dedicated group of supporters who want to push back against the lies, myths, and misunderstandings out there with cold, hard facts.

It's easy -- and it can actually be pretty fun. Above all, it's really important. Sign up to join the OFA Truth Team today.

By signing up for Truth Team, you'll get tip sheets, regular updates, and all the facts and figures you need to make sure your friends, family, and coworkers know the facts. OFA will never send you something that isn't backed up by a source you can check out for yourself -- you'll always be able to feel confident about passing things along.

Having a group of dedicated folks on your side to fight back against the lies is crucial. Trust me, I know, and it makes a difference.

Health care reform in my home state has made a big difference for folks. Today, over 98 percent of Massachusetts residents are insured, we are healthier, and it has not been a budget buster. More companies offer affordable insurance to their employees today than before our reform took effect, too, and the reforms are popular among individuals, families, and businesses alike.

When we began implementing it, we asked supporters all across the state to help respond to the misinformation or misunderstandings out there -- and that played a big role in making Massachusetts' health care reform a success.

Now with Obamacare, we've seen political groups willing to spend millions in ads to spread lies and confuse the public about what's really going on -- even about the benefits folks are already seeing, like ending lifetime caps, and young adults who can stay on their parents' insurance until they're 26. In fact, opponents have spent $385 million already doing just that. It's not that they have a better idea to protect people's health -- it's that they see Obamacare as a significant policy victory for our President, and they want to do everything they can to undermine that. Same old pattern: hurt the President even if it hurts the country. Just disgusting.

That's why we've got to fight back.

So if you care about telling the real story about Obamacare -- or just making sure that the debates going on in Washington are happening over actual facts -- you need to be a part of this.

I have attended two more meetings and I usually listen to what they say and comment little. The organizers are young, late 20's, already out of school and are very much in love with their master. The attendees are for the most part older men and women in their 50's and 60's, some retired, some on disability, very few employed and mostly from the east coast. As I remember, the last meeting had 12 people besides me and three organizers, only one retired couple was from CO, the rest were from NJ, MA, NY, NC and one lady from IL. The lead organizer was from CA via DC and AZ (no hope there so they sent him to NorCO), the other two were young female volunteers from CO.

I tell them I am a Kennedy Democrat, kind of with them but not fully on board so to speak. I do not get invited to events but I still get a notice of a meeting here and there. I just can't attend these meeting without leaving with a headache. Every one of the east coasters living here has a great deal of hate and bigotry inside them. They love DeGette and will work hard to keep her in office and they really want all republicans, like Cory Gardener, to just go away and die in a hole. Almost every one of them is sucking on the government tit in some form or another and earning something on the side that the gov' doesn't know about.

Gun control has not been brought up except once by me and the organizer quickly turned the conversation to other progressives issues like health care and immigration. You have undoubtedly heard all the dem's talking points on these issues and these meeting just reinforce them with the attendees. They have NorCO teams in Greeley, Longmont, Loveland and Ft. Collins. The plan is to get big enough to organize all of the NorCO groups under a single permanent office located in Ft. Collins with a permanent staff that gets paid. Right now only the lead guy gets paid and the others are volunteers.

I will post the the tips and tricks they send me so we can see what they are up to.

My head hurts, I gotta go home and eat my dinner. Later

dude you should get a medal or something for heroism and bravery! if they discover you and execute you, I'll make sure we put a star on a wall somewhere.
good luck and thanks!

You are a better man than I.
I think I would have projectile vomited.

You have a stronger constitution and ability to deal with bovine fecal matter than I do just to attend one of those sessions. /bow

I am the largest person in the room and have my 442 in my pocket, I'm not too worried about being set upon by these cowards. No real bravery needed here, just tolerance for the BS, hate, etc., that come out of their mouths. Sometimes I just want to stand up and yell "BULLSHIT you ASSHOLES" but, I want to know more about what the enemies of freedom have in their agenda so I keep my trap shut and try to learn.

Hmm sounds like they will do something that will get them arrested or shot while escaping.

Maybe discretely hide a camera in their next meeting, record what they say, then post that stuff on YouTube and expose them! If possible... or we could just have you wear a wire- but I don't want to unnecessarily risk your life. [Coffee]

..and how do we know he's not really with the other side and secretly working us?

Just something to think about. ;)

Well, I don't have the funds to wire up and/or take photos, don't have a cell phone. Really, the people that attend these meetings in Ft. Collins get there jolly's from bashing other people and they are proud of themselves for doing it. They have high opinions of themselves and if you are counter to what they think you are a ... lets just say that the language they use on occasion would make a sailor blush. I have a hard time with it sometimes because I just don't understand how people can be so mean to other people.

I was born on 9-2-55 and the men that were around when I was growing up; neighbors, teachers, postmen, police, business owners, my parents friends, were mostly WWII and Korea veterans. Their values are where my values came from. Patriotism, respect for others, lending a helping hand to someone in need, personal responsibility all came from those men and women. The people that attend these meetings are all around my age +/- a few years. WTF?? Where did they get their values from? I am not perfect by any means but I mean, I don't see a connection to any real value system from these people and it gets me down to see where this nation is heading. Then I get fired up and want to fight them and run them into the ground to protect my country and my family for them.

Enough for now, I'm getting a headache again and I'm still at work. Break over, back to work.

Started to sweat from anger after the first couple paragraphs and had to stop reading. Lawdy.
