The arm of government oppression reaches far and wide, Senator, and we must beat it back on whatever front we find it.
The Senate begins debating the spying bill again on Tuesday. Obama arrives in Washington that day to address a Hispanic convention.
The protest group has not only become a huge force on Obama¡¯s site–it is now double the size of any other user-created group and its traffic slowed the campaign¡¯s server last week–it has also swiftly asserted itself in the broader spying debate. Organizers have been covered and quoted repeatedly in the mainstream media, including a New York Times profile of founder Mike Stark, tapping the interest in online organizing to amplify a civil liberties message. The group¡¯s wiki even includes a ¡°proposed strategy¡± to ¡°fan the flames of coverage by making the novel outreach approach a story in its own right,¡± levering media attention to recruit more members for lobbying Congress. Over the weekend, it began spinning off local networks to target individual senators through a ¡° fifty state strategy.¡± Now there are Facebook groups for constituents to pressure senators McCain, Feinstein, Klobachar, Coleman and Alexander–along with a page for ¡°Wisconsinites¡± to ¡°thank¡± Senator Feingold for defending civil liberties. The group decided to focus on other senators after discussing how to broaden the effort beyond Obama. Over 3,500 members converse through an e-mail listserve on the campaign¡¯s social networking platform, with hundreds of messages a day. In fact, the group has begun moderating participation to limit topics and exclude certain tactics, such as attempts by activists to halt campaign fundraising in retribution for Obama¡¯s position on spying. By simultaneously growing its membership, mission and ambition, the spying group exhibits the characteristics of a successful net movement. MoveOn began with the single objective of fighting Clinton¡¯s impeachment, but evolved to tackle other issues that resonated with its members. The protest against the spying bill began last month by urging Obama to change his vote. After quickly drawing him (and his senior staff) into a dialogue, however, it is nimbly shifting its focus to Obama¡¯s role in the immunity floor fight–an easier request on common ground–while launching campaigns to target senators with constituents recruited through MyBarackObama.com. Even if the Democratic Congress completes its capitulation on surveillance policy, the anti-spying group will still be the largest organizing network on Obama¡¯s site. With 6,000 more activists than the top-down ¡°Action Wire¡± group, which the campaign created for official pushback, the group might even function as a supportive but aggressive counterweight to the campaign¡¯s traditional message. If Obama is not confronting McCain on other constitutional issues, for example, members could organize media or social network efforts to do it for him. If the campaign is not correcting the media for distorting factual statements by Gen. Wesley Clark, the members could rally a truth squad overnight.
Obama excelled by appealing to the public appetite for movement politics, rather than typical campaigns. And unlike campaigns, movements are animated by ideas, policies and values–not blind allegiance to a single person. If Obama is lucky, he will continue to benefit from these energized, sophisticated activists who support his candidacy while they press his hand, and use his campaign platform to mobilize turnout while organizing causes beyond his election. The spy group¡¯s open letter reminded Obama of this collective dynamic. ¡°As you have said time and again Senator, ¡®we are the ones we have been waiting for,¡¯ and we are here, working to bring about real change in Washington.¡± See More:Democrats USA NewsDiscuss this report in the RINF forums > Have Your Say: Online Activists Keep the Pressure on Obama This entry was posted on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 at 3:30 pm and is filed under Activism News .
