How should Obama use the millions of people who signed up to help his campaign? ?
13 million - number of people on Obama’s campaign email list, twice as much as Moveon.org the largest online political organization.
3 million - number of people who donated to his campaign.
2 million - number of profiles created by supporters on MyBarackObama.com
1.2 million - number of volunteers who were recruited by Obama’s campaign.
4,500 - number of “house parties” - designed to organize and discuss political issues - held by Obama supporters in December.
5,000 - number of groups who responded to a call from Obama’s transition team for reports on the best way to tackle health care issues.
100,000 - number of people who voted on Change.gov for questions they would most like to see Obama answer.
What can Obama do to harness the power of this community for the good of the country?

Pay their mortgages or rent, buy them a car that they deserve, buy their fuel, buy their food.
That’s what they think they are getting.

Education
Get them to talk to people and help them understand that the days of sedentary, bloated, selfish over consumption are gone. No more crappy food, dumb down TV, poor education system and environmental destruction.
It’s time to close the tax loopholes that mean the rich pay very little tax, and use the money for a decent education system and social health care.
Cut back on the over bloated defence budget and get the people employed in the industry working on the land to get America fed when the oil starts to run out. Or get them employed on a nationwide rail road system that would benefit all.
There should be an investigation into all the bad laws that have been passed by the Bush/Cheney administration, and many good laws that haven’t been enforced.
The money is there if there is the will to do it.
