In an unusually aggressive move, Organizing for America announced Wednesday that it is mobilizing
its volunteer army to confront the 32 Republican legislators who voted against health care reform
-- despite representing districts that voted for Obama.

The pressure campaign is designed "to remind these members that voters in their districts voted for
change last year," explain OFA officials, "and urge them to reconsider their position when the House
votes again on a final bill later this year."

Obama's Organizing Army Finally Targets Republicans

I suppose they feel they are not being properly represented my guess would be.

Why is that up to the organizing army and not the constituents?

Um... did this group seem to forget that their districts also voted for these republicans? Too classic. Obama is the messiah to these people.

Maybe the Organizing Army will rally the constituents? You know, kind of like what FAUX NEWS / Freedom Works did with the TeaBaggers... Except unlike the TeaBagging Nuts we will have a positive outcome... Ya think?

Can you imagine the outrage if Bush had mobilized an "army" to confront legislators that didn't vote for the Patriot Act?
