Obama’s super troopers armed and ready

No American president has ever had this much power, a stealth force of 13 million foot soldiers ready to unleash their modern communication devices upon command.

These are the new cyber Minutemen (and women) comprising Organizing for America, always eager to phone, march, write, protest, assemble, organize, e-mail, get out the vote and most important, vote themselves.

Republicans beware, before you assume victory in the 2010 midterm elections with a wishful takeover of the House or the Senate, you must first confront a massive frontal assault. Yes, folks this will be war. A virtual Gettysburg-style Pickett’s charge of the Army of Organizing for America. Wildly waving the flag of their leader President O, this army never sleeps. OFA is operating 24/7 and ready to “mobilize supporters in favor of Obama’s legislative agenda” as explained by its mission statement.

Last week the Army of OFA scored a major victory pushing health care over the edge according to The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza with OFA’s ability to “channel grassroots support for the bill in effective and even confrontational ways.”

Here is an eyewitness account of what transpired from my embedded OFA spy who forwarded me some e-mails from the final days of the D-Day-like epic Battle to Save Barack Obama’s Presidency; otherwise known as the vote for health care reform.

Even more fortuitous, my spy happens to live in a district with an undecided Democratic Congressman. TARGET SIGHTED. GET READY AIM.

Now, with the House vote scheduled for Sunday, March 21, my spy received yet another follow-up e-mail from OFA after a full week of daily e-mail bombardment on Saturday, March 20, at 10:26 a.m., alerting him that Congressman X in HIS district was STILL undecided. (The nerve of that man.)

The e-mail stated that Congressman X has stood with the President and fought for reform since last year. But with special interests attacking anyone who pushes for change, it’s important for real voters in your district to call and say “thank you for fighting for reform” “So we’re aiming for 428 calls to Congressman X’s office from (name of town) before his offices close this evening.”

My spy assumed those 428 calls from “real voters” in his town helped turn Congressman X around, because ultimately he did surrender and vote yes.

So any day now, my spy fully expects to see millions of crisp dollar bills air-dropped into his district by a plane displaying a distinctive O logo on its tail.

Now that those battle hardened OFA troops were victorious against their own Congressional members, just wait till the fall midterms when they are savagely unleashed on the real enemy, those despicable Republicans standing in the way of their Beloved Leader’s agenda.
So Republicans heed this warning: your Tea Party is up against a superpower that won big in November of 2008 and never disbanded. It’s David Plouffe’s golden list at MyBarackObama.com, which in January 2009 morphed into Organizing for America and is now pumped up by a health care victory.

OFA is rough and ready for the fall smackdown coming to your congressional district.

Buckle your seat belts; it’s going to be ferocious.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
