Via Atrios and Jack and Jill Politics, the Obama campaign today launched a free application for iPhone users that "makes everyone a campaign worker". Download the app now, and follow me over the jump for details.
From Barack's website, the application's features include:
- Call Friends: A great volunteering tool that lets you make a difference any time you want by talking to people you already know. Your contacts are prioritized by key battleground states, and you can make calls and organize results all in one place.
- Call Stats: See nationwide Obama '08 Call Friends totals and find out how your call totals compare to leading callers.
- Get Involved: Do more. Find and contact your local Obama for America HQ.
- Receive Updates: Receive the latest news and announcements via text messages or email.
- News: Browse complete coverage of national and local campaign news.
- Local Events: Find local events, share by email and get maps and directions.
- Media: Browse videos and photos from the campaign
- Issues: Get clear facts about Barack Obama and Joe Biden's plan for essential issues facing Americans.
What an awesome idea, and further proof of the genius of Obama's people-powered campaign.
