Barack Obama is not a unicorn

Organizing for Action
Robert --

For many progressives and organizers across the country, President Obama is an inspiration.

But he's not a unicorn. (I believe the fact-checkers out there can confirm that.)

Our president got his start as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago. Right now, the next Barack Obamas are already out there in communities all across the country, looking to get their start.

OFA's mission is to find those great organizers and provide the training needed to be great.

This is about the future, but it depends on people like you stepping up today to help fund it -- will you chip in today?

It can't be overstated -- of all the things we do at OFA, our training programs are the biggest legacy we'll leave on the progressive movement for decades to come.

In the last two years, we've trained 10,320 organizers.

Right now, we've set our sights on expanding our training programs to focus on traditionally underserved communities -- including bilingual fellowships, campus organizing programs, and a women's leadership program.

These are some of the most incredible people you'll ever meet. And some are already making a real difference.

Let me tell you about Lisa Edwards.

Lisa is a volunteer in California, who first got involved with OFA at a film screening we held during the first Obamacare enrollment period. After volunteering from time to time, she went through our organizing fellows training program last year.

By the time the most recent health care enrollment period rolled around, Lisa was a leader on the team helping people find out how to get covered. When she noticed that her community didn't have any upcoming enrollment events, she stepped up and brought partner organizations into the fold, building a coalition to help boost signups on the local level.

On the last day of enrollment, the coalition held an all-day event. When she arrived, there were already hundreds of folks in line -- and organizers continued working all the way up to midnight.

That might not have happened if not for Lisa.

I'll be honest -- it's stories like hers that remind me why we do this work, and how much of an impact we all can make by giving back to building the future of this movement.

This is uniquely OFA's mission -- nobody else is doing this work the way we do.

But we're counting on you to step up now.

Help train the leaders of tomorrow -- chip in $5 or more today:

By Hook or By Crook

FreedomWorks

“By hook or by crook…”

Robert, that’s how Obama said he’s going to rule: by acting like a king.

He just announced his plan to force his radical agenda on America, whether we like it or not.

That’s not just unconstitutional, it’s tyrannical. And it’s time for Republicans to do their job and stand up to this powermongering president.

John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have let us down too many times. And I’m sick and tired of their flimsy excuses. Republicans control Congress. And they need to start acting like it. That’s why we need you to fight back now. That’s why FreedomWorks’ community of 6.9 million patriots is mobilizing. They’re already starting to force Republican leadership to do their job: Stop Obama. The question is: Will you help make that happen?

Will you help FreedomWorks make Boehner and McConnell stand up to Obama by donating $5 right now?

President Obama says he’ll use his executive power to “improve” our country. But you and I know what that really means.

Millions of people losing their health care because of ObamaCare.  Unconstitutional spying on innocent American citizens by the NSA. Small businesses closing up shop thanks to Obama’s endless regulations. And the federal government invading YOUR schools with Common Core.

And of course, Tax Day is coming up, which means millions of Americans will have to pay their ObamaCare tax for the first time.

This government oppression needs to end – in 2015!

Robert, help stop Obama once and for all with a donation of $5.

This is it, Robert. We have to take the offensive now or Obama will trample all over our liberties. He’s already made his position known: He’ll push his radical agenda “by hook or by crook.”

We can’t let that happen. The future of our country is on the line. FreedomWorks activists are more than ready to defend our values, our country, and the Constitution.

We don’t want to make a few phones calls to Congress – we want to overwhelm their phone lines with the voices of over ten thousand patriots. We don’t want activists making a few office visits – we want to fill district offices with conservatives fed up with the Washington status quo.

All this can happen, Robert. But we need your help to make it so.

Donate $5 to FreedomWorks now and help conservatives keep the pressure up on Congress.

Together, we’ll stop this radical president before he ruins our country.
