This morning I received an email from DC for Democracy - a local nonaffiliated 527 group that has recently endorsed Obama. Not only is the Obama campaign refusing to accept financial contributions from the group (which has been donated by individual DC4D members), but has also been told by the campaign that “any volunteer efforts for the campaign by individual DC4D members cannot be organized in any way by [the] group.”
It follows that, “accordingly, DC for Democracy has ceased its official role in promoting Senator Obama’s candidacy.”
Wow. I wonder how many volunteers the Obama campaign is turning away…
