John Ruberry (Marathon Pundit), an Illinois liberty loving conservative TEA Party member and conservative blogger received an received an e-mail from Barack Obama's political arm, Organizing for America. It invited him to a Camp OFA training session in Evanston, Illinois, just a few miles from his home. Rather than deleting the email, he signed up, under his real name via his OFA online account. Ruberry said, "A few days later I received a Monday phone bank call (more on that later) from an enthusiastic volunteer from the Democratic Party of Evanston (DPOE) confirming my interest, and asking me if instead of attending the May 5 session I signed up for, would I be interested in attending a second meeting, one week later? It seems that response was so overwhelming, that this training session would have to be moved to larger quarters, in this case the Firehouse Grill on Chicago Avenue. Originally, the meeting was to be held at DPOE headquarters."
He opted to attend the meeting at the Firehouse Grill. John says: Evanston, which is the home of Northwestern University, is heavily Democratic. In the 2008 presidential election, the Obama/Biden ticket squeaked by with 87 percent of the vote."
Read John's story about his attending the meeting and learn about Obama's OFA planned activities and strategies. Maybe you and other conservatives may wish to attend these meetings to help with greater transparency. There are OFA meetings planned all over the country. No need to be antagonistic at the OFA meetings. Just listen, learn and then report. Shine some light on Obama's OFA. I appreciate John doing this and look forward to learning more about his and your future involvement with OFA.
