Myself and others regard this action by Obama's campaign to not only be an affront to Joe, but also to all of those who believe in, and invest ourselves in, netroots activism.
Those who feel strongly about this, as I do, are encouraged make yourself heard.
Those who do NOT have a MySpace page are encouraged to:
- Post a comment to this blog, describing what you feel Senator Obama needs to do to rectify this situation.
- Spread the word
- Link to this blog from other websites.
- Invite others to do the same.
- Add the Do the Right Thing, Barack MySpace page as a friend to your MySpace page.
- Remove the hijacked Barack Obama MySpace page from your MySpace friends.
- Post a comment on the MySpace page, describing what you feel Senator Obama needs to do to rectify this situation.
- Spread the word
- Link to this blog from other websites.
- Invite others to do the same.

This is an incredible story. I hope it gets the national attention that it deserves.
Right about now the Obama campaign should be thinking "WTF were we thinking?"

After reading multiple summaries of the situation it sounds to me like Barack DID do the right thing.
Guy volunteers to do a job, works with the official campaign, then suddenly shuts out the official campaign and demands $40k?
There's no positive way to spin that; volunteer work is volunteer work.
Mike,
Thanks for your post. I responded to what you wrote in my second post, "Did the Obama Campaign Slander a Mega-Volunteer?". I encourage you to check it out, and respond to it if you feel anything is inaccurate in what I wrote.
Best Regards
