Its Obama's reelection organization repurposed into his little group of cultists. What's hilarious is how fast their base is evaporating post election.

Thats kinda funny.

I went down to visit the demonstration, to get my fair share of abuse. What I found was two successive sets of folks standing on one corner, asking people to sign their petition for background checks for gunshows and internet sales. One guy seemed reasonable, at least in conversation, but of course he had his biases. The best was the second set. I couldn't even get the woman to engage in conversation once she found out I was pro-gun. She said "if even one child is saved..." and I cut her off there. "If you really thought saving children was important you'd be asking me to sign a petition against private ownership of swimming pools". At that point she turned away, put her hands over her ears and walked quickly away, saying, "I can't talk to someone who hates children".

Organizing For Action. I have attended their meetings and they are the ENEMY of freedom. The meeting leaders are young idealistic "organizers" and are well trained in how to promote bigotry and make the people at the meetings feel that they have a almost Holy cause to attack and force their bigotry on others in the name of "fairness". They are slick and precise and know how to push the right buttons. If the meeting is younger persons they push ideals on how the US immigration policy is racist and how republicans are behind the new intellectual way of thinking about things, on how the US owes them a living by taxing the rich. For older persons it is the health care angle and how they have a right to "free" health care now that they are at the age where they will need more care. The leaders I have met have all worked with groups in other states, this one guy I met came from AZ because they were not making any ground there and wanted to make sure that they can hold onto Colorado.
