I hope the title got your attention. Anyone aware of the President's new action committte push against the 2nd amendment?? How do we counter this?? Maybe copy their strategy and use it to protect our 2nd amendment rights???
A fellow liberty activist sent me a link to the OFA site. h ttp://www.barackobama.com/
My friend also posted his thoughts about it on another forum:
I've been doing my best to infiltrate OFA. So far, these clowns appear to be maintaining an "Internet only" presence (weak).
They send out mass emails where they beg for donations and try to convey being in a position of influence due to their
facebook (silo) "likes" and other silly "armchair activist" activities. It's pretty pathetic but I'll post the latest email I've receieved:
Subject: Reporting back: Preventing gun violence Day of Action
Friend --
If Thursday was any indication, the NRA and the rest of the gun lobby better
watch out: Last week's Day to Demand Action to prevent gun violence
showed just how much support there is for common-sense legislation
like universal background checks.
Here's a quick report back:
-- Grassroots volunteers held more than 130 events across the country
with thousands in attendance, from Tuscon to West Palm Beach to Portsmouth.
-- Supporters who couldn't make it spoke out online: The hashtag #DemandAction
was the #1 trending topic nationally on Twitter, and our top Facebook post
received more than 116,000 likes and 23,000 shares on Thursday alone.
-- Our volunteer-led events received local and national media coverage on
news outlets across the country, including CNN, Fox News, and hundreds of
local ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates.
Members of Congress were back in their home districts last week, and I guarantee
they heard our voices.
Whether they do the right thing and pass legislation 92 percent of Americans
support -- or cave to the powerful gun lobby -- depends on what we do next.
Add your name to the hundreds of thousands of Americans and OFA
supporters demanding action to prevent gun violence:

We started a drumbeat last Thursday, and as long as we don't stop now, our
representatives in Congress will have no choice but to act.
Thanks for being part of this fight.
