Reports are coming in of heavy astroturfing by the ObamamNation’s all mandatory volunteer community organizer army. This in from the Chicago News Bench

OFA Astroturfing Big Time for Schakowsky

Organizing For America (OFA), a thinly veiled Obama operation, is working overtime to get as many pro-socialized healthcare supporters to the event as possible. I received a slick email today (click image to enlarge). This is massive, highly organized, well-funded “astroturfing,” the very thing that Obama and Pelosi and Frank and the rest have wrongly assused us of doing. Hey, is Chicago News Bench any more than a gnat compared to OFA? We’re organic. They are astroturf.

This is an email that I received from 9-12 march organizer Catherina Wojtowicz:

Dear Patriots,

There will be a town hall held tomorrow by Congressman Jan Schakowsky.

It has been said that the young lass might be a no-show, so don’t be surprised.

This will be a big town hall, packed with many of her sheep, don’t even bother with them. They are absolute idiots; we need to concentrate on recruiting strong minded Americans to join our tea party.

Attached is the flier for the 9/12 march and a shortened version of HC 3200 — do not argue with the ObamaFans — it is like herding cats — completely impossible.

Go to those with protest signs and say to them, “Hey are you with a tea party?  Come join us.” Give them a flier and tell them that we need all Americans.

Approach the man or woman who looks like a deer with headlights coming at them — they are members of the public who actually believed that young Jan would be holding a town hall meeting where WE THE PEOPLE would be able to ask questions, be given information about how the bill will effect us and our families and, in general, just be able to participate.

That is not what this is about. This is sham. This is total astro-turf support. This is Hollywood.

And most of all, talk about the bill. Show them, don’t tell them how congress are a big bunch of bully liars. Give them the tools — www.IllinoisTea.com — where they can read the bill for themselves.

Impress upon them how this legislation will forever alter the landscape of this great country. They may be confused and protective, understand where they are coming from.  For years, many were comfortable believing, even if we didn’t totally agree with what was going on in DC, that those in Congress were so unAmerican that they would want to destroy the exact fabric which this great country is made from.

Make sure they know that the Congressional Budget Office has given the thumbs down to this bill. Talk about the facts of the bill… Talk about small business, talk about special needs, talk about how Acorn and other community groups and the power they would wield, talk about how medical care would be rationed, make them question the information they have received that Barack Obama and his people.

And do yourself the biggest favor, stay away from the idiots. The SEIU thugs willl be there as well as Acorn and rent-a-protestors.  They are absolute idiots — remember the days of Jim Jones and those who walked behind him — that is who we are against at these rallies.

Remember, when you talk facts to “The Innocents” they will recognize the sincerity and appreciate the genuineness.  When you start spinning, regardless of how cathartic it is, we lose credibility.

Get interested parties names, phone numbers and emails. Give them our fliers.

Contact me with any questions or concerns and let me know how everything went afterwards. I will not be attending.

Take this to the mattress and TALK ABOUT THE BILL.

I will be reporting on this Town Hall later tonight or fist thing tomorrow morning. Stay tuned.
