6 Part Series - Lessons from the Obama Campaign

This is why I'm a big fan of Colin and his blog, epolitics. It's always chalked full of helpful tips about online organizing and clean country livin'. Check out his latest piece called "Learning from Obama's Financial Steamroller: How to Raise Money Online". Just look at these stats:

3 million donors made a total of 6.5 million donations online adding up to more than $500 million. Of those 6.5 million donations, 6 million were in increments of $100 or less. The average online donation was $80, and the average Obama donor gave more than once.

But the question is, how can this translate into results for your organization. Read on.

Vigilance against the Counterrevolutionary Tea Parties!

Re: Counter-revolutionary elements

Comrades!

It has come to the attention of the Commissariat of Political Statism (ComPoSt) that some rascals and reactionary elements remain insufficiently suppressed, and a palpable danger to our decrepit regime.

ComPoSt informers have determined that Narodniks are plotting anti-progressive uprisings that may number in the dozens. Furthermore, these subversives may be planning to destroy chai ration cards in defiance of the ulamah.

Appropriations for DemocracyInAction from George Soros (laundered as per usual) have enabled us to infiltrate saboteurs among this parasitical element, but organizers are on their guard against our false flag operations.

Beware of violence!

Putschists are openly arming and boast of having "literally ... shoved out of the way" those "that have attempted to control the freedom movement."
