Well its the new year and I posted a nice non-political diary last night, but now its back to the trenches.
Today I got this email from Organizing for America (formerly the Obama Campaign website)
Michael --
Looking back at 2009, it turns out you were right.
Early this year, millions of you chose to keep working together and create Organizing for America, to build on the momentum of the Obama campaign, take on the defenders of the status quo, and make change happen.
Special interests thought they could steamroll you with hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying and attack ads. Meanwhile, you built a massive organization, driven by local leadership, that reached out to millions of fellow Americans and made your voices heard to Congress in record numbers.
So I wanted to take a moment at year's end to reflect on everything you've built, and to ask for your help one last time this year to hit the ground running in 2010. Can you chip in $25 to keep our organizing strong in all 50 states?
Follow below the fold for the response I just sent.
