Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.

I got this in an email from the Obama campaign last night and it was spot on:

I wasn't planning on sending you something tonight. But if you saw what I saw from the Republican convention, you know that it demands a response.

I saw John McCain's attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.

But worst of all -- and this deserves to be noted -- they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.

You know that despite what John McCain and his attack squad say, everyday people have the power to build something extraordinary when we come together. Will you make a donation of $100 or more right now to remind them?

Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.

Let's clarify something for them right now.

I am glad to see that the Dems have launched this site. The profile on Palin is awesome. Reads like an indictment of John McCain & his judgment!

Just More of the Same

It is stunning that he nominated this person. Here is a sample from her profile:

Anchorage Daily News: "Palin Was for the Bridge to Nowhere Before She Was Against It.

Politifact: ‘Bridge’ Going Nowhere Before Palin Killed It.

LAT: Palin relied on earmark system she now opposes.

WaPo: Palin’s Small Alaska Town Secured Big Federal Funds.

USAT: "Wasilla’s lobbying firm was headed by Steven Silver — a former chief of staff to Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, a key proponent of the bridge project.
