Plouffe Emails Obama Supporters to Boost Stimulus
News —
Plouffe Emails Obama Supporters to Boost Stimulus Obama for America campaign manager David Plouffe sought to make use of the campaign's vast email list of supporters on Sunday, emailing supporters a video of President Obama seeking support of the stimulus. "America is facing an urgent and unprecedented challenge," Plouffe wrote, asking supporters to share the video with friends and family. "The economic crisis requires bold and immediate action."

Obama as Crowdsourcer; Organizing the Country for Change and Accountability
techPresident —
It looks like President Obama's email list still has a lot of punch to it. Yesterday, he sent out a mass email asking people to watch a four-and-a-half minute video addressing the Organizing for America house parties, and so far that video has garnered more than 460,000 views, nearly as many as his first video announcing OFA's launch. Beyond these metrics, it's pretty interesting to listen to how Obama's talks to his base. He doesn't use the word "crowdsourcing," but tell me if you don't hear it in how he describes how he plans to use the web to make sure his recovery plan works.
Obama's message is in keeping ...
Obama Asks Supporters To "Discuss" the Stimulus, Not To Get Down and Dirty
MoJo Blog Posts: mojo —
Last week, I asked White House press secretary Robert Gibbs if President Obama would be mobilizing his millions of supporters to pressure Congress to pass the stimulus legislation. Gibbs did not give a direct answer. And it has seemed that Obama and his aides have not been eager to use their list of 13 million supporters to flex their political muscle.
This past weekend, Organizing for America, the Obama campaign's spin-off, held house meetings across the country regarding the stimulus package, and it sent a video of Obama to these sessions and to everyone on its mega-mailing list.
Here's the full video: ...
