Let's see if anyone can pick up what I'm putting down....

Joe Sestak and OFA Come Together for VOTE 2010 Kickoff!

Friday, June 4, 2010

This Saturday, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Congressman Joe Sestak will join Organizing for America (OFA) to launch their massive nationwide grassroots movement to fire up Democrats for the make-or-break midterm elections this November with a VOTE 2010 Kickoff Canvass. Join Joe and the OFA team to knock on doors in the Phoenixville area and remind Pennsylvania what's at stake in the fall elections.

Moveon.org backs Sestak in Pa. while OFA works for Specter

Posted: May 14th, 2010 03:51 PM ET

From CNN Political Producer Shannon Travis

Liberal activist group Moveon.org has endorsed Joe Sestak.

Washington (CNN) - Moveon.org on Friday announced that the group's members are backing Rep. Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania in the May 18 Democratic senate primary. That puts the liberal activist group at odds with Organizing for America, the grassroots group that's part of the Democratic National Committee and that largely supports President Obama and backs Sen. Arlen Specter in his quest to retain his seat.

In an email to Moveon.org members in Pennsylvania, the group said that 67 percent of its followers in the state back Sestak.

The message quotes one member saying that "Sestak not only has a better chance of winning in the fall, but he's a Democrat out of conviction, not desperation." The email quotes another Moveon.org member as saying, "Arlen Specter is an opportunist and cannot be trusted to side with the Democrats."

Specter switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party last year. Critics claim he did so to save his senate seat.


Meanwhile, Organizing for America is working hard to ensure Specter's re-election.
