I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR FROM THE OBAMABOTS!

I LOVE this! Could there be any publicity than this? What am I talking about? The Democrat's have launched an initiative to get Obama supporters on talk radio airwaves in order to spread their message ... or as they put it, a "pro-reform message."

The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV and online -- and on talk radio. And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure OFA [Obama for America] supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message.

If you go to the website, it offers tips on how to handle us right-wing talk show hosts. It also asks that you report back to the website if you have an "encounter" with a talk show host on the air.

We've been through this before. During Clinton's term the Democrats assigned a man by the name of Bua to conduct seminars for Democrats who wanted to call a talk radio show and promote the Clinton agenda. It didn't work. The Bua callers were trying to present and argue talking points that simply were not their own, and they failed.

So ... you ObamaBots out there, you don't even have to go to the website to look up my phone number and the talking points. The phone number for my program is 877-310-2100. And here, straight from the Obama website, are the calling tips and discussion points you are supposed to use. I've done all the work for you. Now get on the phone.

CALLING TIPS

  • Be polite, respectful, and clear. Remember, you represent Organizing for America.
  • How radio stations will connect you will depend on the show. Some radio shows may connect you right away, but most will take your name and basic info and put you on hold. You may or may not be able to hear the broadcast on the show while you're waiting. You may hear the radio host say something like, "Hello, we have your name on the line with us."
  • Some hosts may challenge your views. Stay calm and firm. Sharing a personal story about how health reform affects you and your family is a great way to show the importance and urgency of health reform.
  • If you can't get through, don't worry! If the show you call is busy or not accepting calls at the moment you call in, simply click "Give me another show" to find another.

DISCUSSION POINTS

These points are only to provide extra information and suggestions. Your personal story will make the most compelling message.

  • For most Americans, their health care plan covers too little and costs too much. Far too many people delay or even skip the care they need because they simply can't afford it.
  • The plan the President laid out includes the largest health care tax cut for middle class families in history and makes coverage more affordable for tens of millions of families and small business owners and expands coverage to over 31 million Americans who are currently uninsured.
  • This plan will give millions of Americans new choices in health insurance by making coverage more affordable, ending the denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions, putting power in the hands of consumers instead of insurance companies and providing one of the largest tax cuts in history while also reducing our national deficit.
  • Reform couldn't be more urgent - just this month consumers in California were told their premiums could go up as much as 39 percent.
  • Too many in Washington are now saying that we should delay or give up on reform entirely, but Americans understand the stakes for our economy and our lives, and we want action.
