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:
From: Nicole Derse, BarackObama.com
Date: Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 6:39 AM
Subject: Camp OFA in San Luis Obispo
To: XXXX@XXXXX.comXXXX —
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 TrainingWhere: IBEW Local Union 639
6363 Edna Rd
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401When: Sunday, April 25th
Start Time: 4:00 PMIf 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

Organizing for AmericaP.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.

u guys should have responded "what makes u think i give a S**T about obama?"
Yeah, it should be pointed out that Obama is not directly involved with these guys. They're a group within the DNC organized to promote his agenda. So no, Obama didn't invite you anywhere.
And it's just irresponsible to call this a reeducation camp. It seems clear to me that you're most likely on some kind of mailing list for the OFA. It's clearly aimed to organize the like-minded, not to forcibly "reeducate" political rivals.
How is this different from the Tea Party? At leas the OFA is honest about its affiliations.
And I mean... geez, how cynical are you people to compare this letter to Nazi propaganda? Did you even read it?
Sorry but this IS a little scary. Good thing is though that the Right has been mobilized for a long time...the TEA PARTY people I mean.
it would sound innocent enough if it was just "hey, lets have a meeting"
but then its like "TIME TO TRAIN, BROTHERS, WE WILL STOMP OUT THE REMAINING RESISTANCE!"
OFA Camp held at union headquarters? Hmmm.
