50 State strategy over. NOT! This email doesnt appear to say Obama is abandoning 50 state.

[Uzybone]

In the months and years ahead, we're going to accomplish amazing things together. No president has ever had the support of such a powerful grassroots movement, and Barack and Joe will need you to continue fighting alongside them.

But before we take the next step, we need to get our house in order.

The Democratic National Committee poured all of its resources into building our successful 50-state field program. And they played a crucial role in helping Barack win in unlikely states like North Carolina and Indiana. We even picked up an electoral vote in Nebraska.

The DNC took on considerable debt to make this happen.


The DNC began building a 50-state organization in 2005.

The infrastructure they put in place over the last four years opened up a new batch of battleground states where a Democratic nominee hadn't been competitive for a generation.

In the final few months, the DNC went above and beyond to expand our ground efforts and ensure victory.

We couldn't have won this election without their support.

As we start laying the groundwork for real change, we need to help the DNC recover the resources it took to win. Please make a donation today and get your 2008 Victory T-shirt:

This movement for change is just getting started, and we look forward to working with you to bring the change this country needs.

Thanks for everything you did to elect Barack and Joe,

Obama for America

2. Actually, in the first week-end training session for volunteers I attended in Aug, that was one

of the first things stressed, that the organization would still be in place AFTER the election.

3. Kicking

Let us stop spreading rumors that Team Obama wants to kill the 50 state strategy.

And yeah, lets keep supporting him and the DNC to help us keep winning and moving this country forward.

5. Obama used a 50 state strategy and won......

There is absolutely no reason to believe that he would dismantle it now, and those who think so aren't really thinking.

7. Some people are so used to being pissed off they don't know how to stop.

They are so used to seeing conspiracies and betrayal that they start screaming before they know what is actually going on.

6. Kicking again

because the intentionally disheartening rumor of Obama dumping the 50 state strategy just doesn't want to die.

8. I got that. And cried because I cannot donate.

darn it.

[renie408]

9. K&R. Thanks for posting this. I guess the people screaming about this will just

have to find something else to panic about.

But hey, I have total faith that they will.

10. Know what? Your state Dem committeemen and women elect DNC members

Four years ago I didn't know that there was such a thing, and now I are one, for my state legislative district. Go and do likewise, or support someone you trust. THAT is how we keep the 50 state strategy.

11. Yeah...

I got this yesterday...and figured if I didn't see it up here by this morning I'd post it.

But here it is.

Man we have so many doom and gloomers. I really think so many of us here have been grinding metal for the last 8 years...we just don't know what to do with ourselves anymore.

Personally, I've been listening to right wing radio more now that Obama has been elected. If people want something to work on...work on those nutjobs. They're really working their listeners into a frenzy and our country is really going to need us to be vigilante against those instigators.

But I think the party...for the most part...is going to be fine.

[bunnies]

12. On to the next thing, hand-wringers!

I'm sure there are more unsubstantiated rumors to wig out about.

[Buddyblazon]

13. And I'm getting sick of it...

I'm a stage manager. If I had any of these hand wringing, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" whiners on my crew...I wouldn't call them back for gigs. Boat anchors.
