According To Obama - If You Question Constitutionality Of Something, You're An "Extremist"

[Obama 2012 1,714]

OFA's daily e-mail..... calling those who oppose Democrats "Extremists" and trying to raise money where they can "buy" elections instead..

-----------

This week's Republican primary elections in Arizona, Florida, and Alaska delivered a new crop of extreme nominees that the GOP needs to elect if they want to take back Congress.

For these guys, it's not enough to return to the days of failed Bush policies -- they actually want to turn back the clock to the days before Social Security, Medicare, health reform, civil rights, voting rights, and women's rights.

Republicans want to put the Tea Party in charge. We have a plan to stop them.

We'll be reaching out to millions of voters across the country, making sure they know what the other side is offering, and getting them to the polls. But we have just 64 days to do it -- and right now, we're $242,000 short of our budgeting goal for the month of August.

Can you donate $5 today to support OFA and our efforts to make sure Republicans can't enact their Tea Party agenda?

While we've been ramping up our on-the-ground organizing in communities across the country, here's who the other side has been nominating to take power if they succeed.

There's health industry executive Rick Scott, the Republican nominee for Governor in Florida whose former company was forced to pay $1.7 billion in fines for Medicare fraud committed during his tenure and who led one of the most sickening anti-health reform groups last year. He's already spent $50 million of his own money to buy the race.

There's Joe Miller, running for Senate in Alaska. He's questioned the constitutionality of unemployment insurance and wants to phase out Social Security.

There's Dan Maes, Republican candidate for governor in Colorado, who asserted that efforts in Denver to promote bike riding could "threaten our personal freedoms." Really.

There's Sharron Angle, running for Senate in Nevada, who said she believes there are "domestic enemies" serving in Congress.

And then there's Rand Paul, the nominee for Senate in Kentucky, who has said he wouldn't have supported key provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

These are the people Republicans want to hand the keys to.

That's why it's so important we give it everything we have to defend the progress we've made, elect Democrats across the country, and prevent these extremist candidates from controlling our country's agenda.

We're counting on supporters like you to help.

Yeah, most politicians have their own sites.. It's his official campaign site and also his "OFA" site now. Funny thing is, he's always taking donations, and asking for them ALL THE TIME. At least 3 - 4 e-mail per week asking for donations to fight the 'evil' republicans, tea party, etc. - whatever is not dems..
