OFA Lobbying Republicans on HCR

This is, um, interesting?

Organizing for America, the Obama campaign arm of the Democratic National Committee, is sending e-mail messages to Obama supporters on Thursday. The missives urge recipients to descend on the offices of the 32 Republican House members who represent districts that voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 but who also voted against health care legislation in the House on Saturday....

The Republican representatives, the message says, “must understand that caving to the well-heeled lobbyists in D.C. has consequences at the ballot box back home.”
....

Democratic officials are hoping that the e-mail will help generate sufficient foot traffic to overwhelm the Republican representatives into voting for a health care bill when it comes back to the House after being merged with a Senate version.

Heh. I'm sure that'll work. Republicans will be lining up to vote for healthcare reform. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for direct democracy. Every member of Congress should be hearing from her or his constituents on every issue, and particularly on one as critical as this.

Meanwhile, perhaps OFA should be considering sending out that e-mail in the district of these guys and these guys. Might be a more productive effort.
