Why Is Obama Leaving The Grass Roots On The Sidelines?

Sam Graham-Fel­sen isn't talking about the OFA begging for money from those on the list.

During the health-car­e battle, rather than rallying the grass roots behind a public option - a provision Obama repeatedly supported and a clear majority of Americans backed - supporters were told to voice generalize­d support for "reform."

Why not ask people to target centrist Democrats who were blocking reform, such as Max Baucus? It may have been counterpro­ductive for me, a Brooklynit­e, to call a Montana senator's office, but at the very least I could have been asked to call OFA members in Montana and urge them to pressure Baucus.
