President Obama invited us to go to camp. Please try to control your jealousy

Although we were honored to be invited by the The Greatest President In History, we couldn’t work it into our busy schedules. No, we were far too busy cranking out extreme rightwing terrorist propaganda here at IHTM HQ.

Here’s the actual text of the email invitation:

XXXX —

Wall Street reform. Electing folks who will support the President and fight for change. Working for a clean-energy economy. Protecting the progress we’ve already made, while still fighting for more.

These are just some of the battles ahead.

Will you be there with us? As we continue fighting for the President’s agenda and gear up for the elections in the fall, we need to make sure we’re all ready to organize as effectively as possible.

So we’re holding Camp OFA training sessions across the country, to make sure that OFA supporters like you have the skills you’ll need to make it happen.

You’ll hear from local community organizers, volunteers, and staff on the best ways to organize local events and build neighborhood teams, how to make the case for the President’s agenda for change, and what OFA is planning to do in the months ahead.

There’s one near you in San Luis Obispo on Sunday, April 25th — can you RSVP to join us?

Here are the details:
What: Camp OFA 2010 Training

Where: IBEW Local Union 639
6363 Edna Rd
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

When: Sunday, April 25th
Start Time: 4:00 PM

If you can’t make it to that training, see if there are others in your area.

No prior experience with OFA is necessary, but you’ll leave fired up and ready to power legislative and electoral victories in the coming months.

We won a big victory on health insurance reform — and it was because of you. Now let’s keep it going, and win the fights ahead.

RSVP today to join us in San Luis Obispo on Sunday, April 25th:

Thanks,

Nicole

P.S. — Good news: Thanks in part to the tireless work of OFA volunteers like you in Florida, progressive champion Ted Deutch just won the first Congressional special election since health insurance reform passed.

You might want to sign up at Organizing For America, too, so you can get invited to future Obama Re-education Camps.
